Introduction
Wire and Safety Guidelines
These instructions show how to change the serial address and how to
mount InView series signs with NEMA Types 4, 4X, and 12 enclosures.
These signs are intended for indoor use only. Type 4 enclosures are
intended to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust
and rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water. Type 4X
enclosures are intended to provide a degree of protection against
corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and
hose-directed water. Type 12 enclosures are in a sealed case that is,
dust free, gasketing, and spray down resistant.
Install the InView display conforming to NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety
Requirements for Employee Workplaces. In addition to the NFPA
general guidelines, refer to the following.
• Careful cable routing helps minimize electrical noise. Route
incoming power to the module by a separate path from the
communication cables.
TIP
Do not run communications wiring and power
wiring in the same conduit!
• Where communication and wire paths must cross, make their
intersection perpendicular.
• Grounding helps limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid problems caused
by EMI, properly ground all equipment and use shielded cables.
WARNING
1 Publication 2706-UM016D-EN-P - March 2006
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not connect or disconnect equipment unless
power has been switched off and area is known to
be non-hazardous.

Change the Serial Address
Checkout Procedure
IMPORTANT
A serial address for an InView sign is a number from 1 to 254 in
hexadecimal (01 to FE). All signs leave the factory with a default
address of 1 or 01.
This serial address is resident in the InView display and is used for
RS485 networking. If one of the factory network communications
modules are used (2706-Pxxxx), this serial address is typically left at
its factory default and the network node or IP address is set in the
factory network communication module.
After you install a sign according to the Electrical and Mounting
Instructions, make sure the sign is installed properly by applying
power to it. The following information should be displayed on the
sign.
Power wiring must be in accordance with Class I,
Class II and Class III Division 2 wiring methods
(Articles 501-4(b), 502-4(b) and 503-3(b) of the
National Electrical Code, NFPA70) and in
accordance with the local authority having
jurisdiction.
Electrical Connections for 2706-P42, 2706-P43 and 2706-P44 Displays
• Firmware part number and version letter (xxxx).
• Amount of RAM in the sign, (256K).
• Serial address of the sign (a number from 01 to FE or from 1 to
254).
WARNING
To connect the 2706-P42, 2706-P43, and 2706-P44 displays:
1. Remove the power supply cover by unscrewing its 6 screws.
Save the screws for a later step.
Hazardous voltage. Contact with high voltage may
cause death or serious injury. Always disconnect
power to sign prior to servicing.

TIP
It is recommended that you install power and
serial wires at the bottom of the power supply
enclosure to reduce noise from power wires
crossing serial wires.
You can install the power or serial wires at the
top of the enclosure if necessary.
2. Remove the left or right conduit hole plug from the top of the
enclosure by removing its wing nut inside the enclosure.
Save the hole plug for a later step.
3. Insert the power wires through the left conduit hole on either
the top or the bottom of the sign.
TIP
Use watertight conduit connectors only.
Flexible conduit should be used.

4. Strip the wires back 6.35 mm (1/4 in.). Connect the incoming
electrical wires.
TIP
Be sure to place the wires so they are not caught by
screws when replacing the power supply cover, and
also so they do not interfere with fan operation.

termination.
TIP
Be sure to place the wires so they are not caught by
screws when replacing the power supply cover, and
also so they do not interfere with fan operation.
8. To maintain NEMA compliance and to prevent EMI emissions,
install hole plugs in any open conduit holes in the power supply
enclosure.

If needed, there is an extra hole plug supplied in addition to any
hole plugs removed in Step 2 on page 3.
9. Replace the power supply cover using the 6 screws from when
the cover was removed.
10. Torque the screws to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
11. Connect the power cable to a power source.
TIP
Only qualified personnel should install the InView
signs.
InView signs are for indoor use only and should not
be continuously exposed to direct sunlight.
Mounting hardware that is used to hang or suspend
signs must be capable of supporting at least 4 times
the total weight of any/all signs mounted together.
For integrity of the case, do not drill holes in or
modify the case.
Disconnect power before you mount a sign.
WARNING

TIP
Do not install the sign directly to drywall or

capable of supporting at least four times the weight
of the sign.
9. Connect the mounting brackets on each end of the sign together
using a 5/16 Phillips screw and a 5/16 washer through the
mounting holes, as shown below, securing with a 5/16 nut.
Do not tighten the nut at this time.

support a minimum of four times the total weight of
all signs being stacked.
WARNING
Possible crush hazard. Do not stack more than 4
signs. Otherwise signs may fall causing serious injury
or death.
To stack the signs:
1. Remove the top screw from each end cap of the bottom sign
2. Use the screw removed in Step 1 to fasten a stacking bracket to
each end cap, countersunk side out, and torque to 2.7 Nm
(24 lb-in).
3. Remove the top and bottom screws from each end of the
remaining signs.

Back-to-back Mount
TIP
Remove only one end cap at a time for each sign.
To mount the signs back-to-back:
1. Attach a mounting bracket on each end of the signs and replace
the end caps.
Follow Steps 1 to 5 of the Wall Mount instructions.
2. However, replace only the bottom three screws for each end cap
and torque the screws to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
Do this for each end of both signs.
TIP
Do NOT fasten the top screws to the end caps. The
top screws are used to fasten the ceiling mounting
brackets to the end caps in the next step.
Do NOT fasten this screw to the end cap.
Fasten these three screws to each end cap.
3. Attach ceiling mounting brackets to all the end caps and torque
the screws to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
