ATTENTION
ATTENTION
17 Publication 6180W-UM001H-EN-P - August 2007
The product is intended to operate in an industrial or control
room environment, which utilizes some form of power isolation
from the public low voltage mains. Some computer
configurations may not comply with the EN 61000-3-2
Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC Directive
of the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power
authority before connecting any computer configuration that
draws more than 75 watts of ac power directly from the public
mains.
To comply with EN 55024, the Ethernet port LAN cable must be
less than 30 m (98.42 ft) long, and it must be used only indoors
(that is, not exit the building at any point). All other I/O cables
must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) long, and must be used only
indoors.
Page 18
18 Installation
Environment and Enclosure Information
Review the information on enclosures and environments before
installing your computer.
ATTENTION
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to
2000 meters (6562 feet) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without
appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties
ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
Operating the capacitive touchscreen version in a high noise
environment may cause the touchscreen to respond slowly to
touch inputs, or may cause the position of the screen cursor to
drift.
This equipment is supplied as ‘open type’ equipment. UL
recognized equipment must be mounted in an enclosure that is
suitably designed and rated for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present, and designed to prevent
personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. UL
listed equipment need not be mounted inside another enclosure
if NEMA Type and IEC ratings are not required, but the
mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 30°
from vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top
stand, wall mount, or other means having sufficient mechanical
stability. The mounting means must be firmly attached to the
supporting surface using screws bolts, or clamps so the
computer cannot tip. All units meet specified NEMA and IEC
ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with an
equivalent rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may
contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type
ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety
certifications.
Publication 6180W-UM001H-EN-P - August 2007
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for
additional installation requirements, Allen-Bradley
publication 1770-4.1.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication
60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure.
Page 19
Installation 19
Installation Considerations
Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and
reliable service:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
• The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and
outlets to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never
allow air passages to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum
operating temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices
in the enclosure. You may need to supply a fan, heat exchanger,
or air conditioner to meet this condition.
TIP
IMPORTANT
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is
often higher than the temperature in other parts of the
enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the
life span of any electronic device is shortened if you
continuously operate the product at its highest rated
temperature.
Tools Required
Mount the Workstation in a Panel
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified
limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up readily.
Proper grounding of the equipment through the ac power cord
helps to reduce static discharges, which may cause shocks and
damage electronic components.
• The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during
operation. The cover provides protection against high voltages
inside the product and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that
might interfere with other equipment.
These tools are required for product installation.
• Panel cutout tools
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
You can install the 1200W and 1500W models of the workstation in a
panel by using mounting clips. The non-display version can be
installed in a panel by using the four screw holes on the front plate.

Mounting Clearances
Allow adequate space around the computer for mounting, air flow,
connections, and maintenance. Do not operate the computer in an
enclosure using the minimum clearances unless adequate ventilation
or other cooling methods are used to maintain the temperature at its
specified rating.

Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing the unit in a panel:
• Confirm that there is adequate space within the panel enclosure.
• Cut supporting panels to specifications before installation. Take
precautions so metal cuttings do not enter components already
installed in panel.
• Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to be sure of proper
sealing against water and dust and to provide proper support.
The mounting hardware supplied accommodates panels up to
6.25 mm (0.25 in.) thick.
ATTENTION
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in personal injury
or damage to the panel components.

Installation 27
Connect AC Power
A standard IEC 320 power cord provides power to the computer. The
power supply input accepts 120/240V ac. The power supply is
autoswitching.
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment,
which uses some form of power isolation from the public low voltage
mains.
.
ATTENTION
The power cord must be connected to a terminal block and
Earth ground. Failure to follow this warning could result in
severe electrical shock.
Installing the computers in a panel, enclosure, or rack that is
already connected to Earth ground will satisfy this requirement.
Otherwise, connect your computer to Earth ground using a
2
1.3 mm
(16 AWG) or larger external wire.
The ground wire should have green insulation with a yellow
stripe for easy identification.
The power source must have its own disconnect. Do not
connect the computer to a supply that is connected to the main
electrical disconnect.
To prevent problems resulting from power surges or unexpected
power failure, you should protect the outlet with its own fuses
or circuit breakers, as well as an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) system.
Always shut down the operating system prior to removing
power to minimize performance degradation and operating
system failures.

28 Installation
Connect DC Power
The computers are also available with a 24V dc power option. The
power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity.
ATTENTION
Use a Class 2/SELV (safety extralow voltage) isolated and
ungrounded power supply as input power to the computer. This
power source provides protection so that under normal and
single fault conditions, the voltage between the conductors and
Functional Earth/Protective Earth does not exceed a safe value.
1. Secure the dc power wires to the terminal block screws.
2. Secure the ground wire to the GND terminal block screw.
3. Apply 24V dc power to the computer.

Installation 29
Connect to the Network
The computers connect to the Ethernet network using CAT5 or CAT5E
twisted-pair Ethernet cabling with RJ45 connectors.
The computers support 10/100 Mbps network communication.
IMPORTANT
To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet
communication, do not subject the computer or cables to
extreme radiated or conducted high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required to be
sure of reliable Ethernet communication in industrial
environments. Rockwell Automation recommends that you
route all Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits.
Installing ferrite bead filters at the cable ends may also improve
reliability.

Diagnostic Utility
If you followed the troubleshooting procedure and are still having
problems, use the VersaView diagnostic utility to isolate the problem.
This utility determines the cause of the malfunction by testing
computer components.
You can perform an initial diagnosis without disconnecting or moving
your computer. The process takes as little as five minutes or as long as
eight hours, depending on the problem. After the diagnostic utility has
run, you can generate a report for analysis by a technical support
representative, expediting any necessary repair process.
The diagnostic utility and documentation are on the VersaView
Support CD that is shipped with your computer. To run the diagnostic
utility, insert the Support CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive and
restart the computer. No software is installed, nor does the utility
affect any software already installed.

56 Maintenance
Remove Paint and Grease
Remove fresh paint splashes and grease before drying by rubbing
lightly with isopropyl alcohol. Then, provide a final wash using mild
soap or detergent solution. Rinse with clean water.
Replace the Battery
ATTENTION
Make sure the isopropyl alcohol does not come in contact with
the equipment labels. Alcohol may cause the label printing to
smear.
The computer contains a lithium battery to maintain CMOS settings
and the real-time clock. The battery is in a battery holder on the
computer’s CPU board. Replace this battery as needed with a
Panasonic battery, part number CR2032, or equivalent.
WARNING
To avoid the danger of explosion, only replace the battery with
part number CR2032 or a recommended equivalent. Dispose of
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The battery life depends on the amount of on-time (time computer is
powered on) per week.
Estimated Battery Life
Publication 6180W-UM001H-EN-P - August 2007
On-time Expected Battery Life
0 hours/week 4 years
40 hours/week 5.5 years
80 hours/week 7 years

Maintenance 57
Replace the Fan Filter
Replace the fan filter every 6 to 12 months. The replacement schedule
depends on the environment. The more severe the environment, the
more often you need to replace the filter.
On the 1500W or non-display workstation, remove the fan filter from
the back. On the 1200W, remove the fan filter from the top.
Backlight Assembly Disposal
Ship or Transport the Product
ATTENTION
If you need to ship the product via common carrier or otherwise
transport it to another location, you must first uninstall the product
and place it in its original packing material.
ATTENTION
The backlight assembly in this unit contains mercury. At the end
of its life, this equipment should be collected separately from
any unsorted municipal waste.
Do not ship or transport the product when it is installed in a
machine, panel or rack. Doing so may cause damage to the
product. You must uninstall the product and place in its original
packing material before shipping. Rockwell Automation is not
responsible for damage incurred to a product that is shipped or
transported while installed in a machine, panel, or rack.

For Additional Information
Resistive Touchscreen Technology
The optional touchscreen controller connects internally to the COM2
serial port. The touchscreen is factory configured with the proper
COM2 and touchscreen driver settings, so no user configuration is
required.
The touchscreen driver is already loaded on the computer. The driver
software is also on the accessory cd.
TIP
For more information on setting up or operating a touchscreen or for
future driver upgrades, refer to http://www.ab.com
Resistive touchscreens are activated when you apply pressure to the
touchscreen with your finger. You can operate a resistive touchscreen
while wearing gloves.
If it becomes necessary to reinstall the touchscreen driver, the
touchscreen utility will automatically detect the serial port used
by the touchscreen controller.
.
