Wiring 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

WARNING

Do not run communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit.

SHOCK HAZARD

• Maintain separation of circuits. Route the incoming power directly to the power

connection terminal block.

• Do not run the power wiring over the logic board or optional Legacy Communication

board.

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.

IMPORTANT

Power wiring must be in accordance with Class I, Division 2 wiring methods (Article
501-4(b) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA70) and in accordance with the local
authority having jurisdiction.

Hazardous Location Considerations

This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D or
non-hazardous location only. The following WARNING statement applies to use in
hazardous locations.

The following information applies when operating
this equipment in hazardous locations.

Products marked “CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D” are suitable for use in
Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations an d
nonhazardous locations only. Each product is su pplied with
markings on the rating nameplate indicatin g the hazardous
location temperature code. When combinin g products within a
system, the most adverse temperature code (lowest “T” number)
may be used to help determine the overa ll temperature code of
the system. Combinations of equipment in your system are subject
to investigation by the local Authorit y Having Jurisdiction at the
time of installation.

Mount the 2706-P92C and 2706-P94C Displays

1. Attach the two sign brackets to a wall, ceiling, or other surface.

Be sure to place the brackets so the bracket flanges face appropriately as
shown below. Mount the brackets the following distance apart (measured
from the center of the mounting holes in each bracket):

Mounted so flanges are hidden
behind the sign.
2706-P92C:103.0 cm (40.55 in.)
2706-P94C: 194.4 cm (76.55 in.)

Wall or
ceiling

Mounted so flanges show on the
sides of the sign.
2706-P92C: 107.8 cm (43.22 in.)
2706-P94C: 201.2 cm (79.22 in.)

Sign brackets, facing in behind the sign

IMPORTANT

Do not install the sign directly to drywall or plasterboard. The sign must be fastened to a
surface capable of supporting at least four times the weight of the sign.

Sign brackets, facing out from the sign

2. Mount the sign on the sign brackets using the hex bolts supplied. Insert the
bolts into the far single holes first, until the desired viewing angle is
determined.
