Introduction

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.

Wire and Safety Guidelines 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.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

WARNING

Do not connect or disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off and area is known to be non-hazardous.

Publication 2706-UM016D-EN-P - March 2006

1-2 Install InView Marquee Message Display

	IMPORTANT	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.

Change the Serial Address

Checkout Procedure

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.

•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).

Electrical Connections for 2706-P42, 2706-P43 and 2706-P44 Displays

Hazardous voltage. Contact with high voltage may

WARNING

cause death or serious injury. Always disconnect power to sign prior to servicing.

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.

	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.

See publication 2706-IN007 for more information on RS-485 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.

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

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).
