Installing the 6 18 5- A Flat Panel Monitor
This section describes how to install the monitor.
Tools Needed
In addition to the tools r equired to make the cutout, you will need the
following tools:
3/8” Deep Well Socket
•
1/4 ” Drive Extension - 6” or lo ng er
•
1/4” Drive Ratchet or 1/4” Drive Torque Ratchet
•
Before Installation
When installing the unit, it is important to consider environmental
factors at the site that could affect performance as well as possible
effects from equipment operation on per sonnel and nearby equipment.
Following the guidelines will help ensure that the monitor will provide
safe and r eliable service.
Ensure that sufficient power is available from a single phas e AC
•
outlet at the site.
Ensure that sufficient space is available around a ir inlets and outlets
•
to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air
passages to become obstructed.
Ensure tha t the ambient air temperature will not exceed the
•
specified maximum temperature. A user supplied fan, heat exchanger
or air conditioner may be required to meet this condition in some
installations.
Leave the m onitor’s enclosure or cover in place at all times during
•
oper ation. The c over affords prote c tion agai nst hig h voltages inside
the monitor and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might
interfere with other equipment.
The Federal Communications C ommission has prepa red a pamphlet
•
that addr esses the pr ob lem of radio frequency interference to radio
and televisio n receptio n, which should b e consu lted i n c ase of
problems with such interference. This publication, “How to Identify
and Resolve R a dio/TV Interference Problems” (Stock #004-00000345-4) may be obtained from the US. Government Printing Office,

Initial Video Setup
The 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor is configured at the factory, but typically
requires i nitial a djustme n ts to ens ure the best s c reen image. Rockwell
Automation prov ides th e F lat P anel Monitor Adjustment Ut ility with
each flat panel monitor to assist you in adjusting the monitor settings.
Common Flat Panel Video Adjustments
The 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor provides controls to adjust the following
aspects of the monitor video display:
Horizontal and vertical position
•
Horizontal size of the display
•
Clock phase
•
Brig htness and contrast
•
It is important that you make initial adjustments to these settings to
ensure that the screen image on the flat panel monitor is set up correctly.
If th e h orizo ntal or vertical p ositi on of th e d isplay is not adjusted
correctly, one edge of the screen image extends beyond the side of the
monitor screen.
The horizontal size and clock phase adjustments are especially important
for flat panel monitors. If the horizontal size setting is not properly
adjusted, t h e scr een ima g e co ntains vertica l sha d ed ba rs. If the clock
phase setting is not properly adjusted, the screen image is “jittery.”

Description
Setting Up the Touchscreen Interface
All touch controllers are configured by default to provide serial
communications at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
For Allen- Bra dley monitors equipped with touchscreens, a serial
communications cable is requ ir ed. A suit able cable can be obta i n ed fr o m
Rockwell Automation or you can create one.
The cable provides a communications channel between the touchscreen
controller, which is mounted inside the monitor, and an RS-232-C ser ial
port on the host computer. Because the touch controller obtains power
from the monitor's power supply, no external touch power connections
are necessary.
Software supplied with the t ouchscreen must be loa ded on the host
computer to ha ndle communications with the touch controller over the
channel.
Because t he touchscreen emu l ates a mouse, there may be c ompa tibili ty
issues involving how the touchscreen emulates mouse buttons, especially
multiple buttons. For a complete discussion of these issues and how to
troubleshoot them, refer to the touc hscreen documentation.
This section describes how to set up the touchscreen system using the
6185-A Flat Panel Monitor. Setup involves the following:
