Installation

Chapter

Chapter Objective

Before Unpacking the Monitor

This chapter describes installation of the RAC6185 Industrial Flat Panel Monitor (6185-F) including:

• how to install the 6185-F monitors in a panel using mounting studs

• how to install the 6185-F monitors in a rack

• connecting the 6185-F monitors:

– to a host computer video source

– to a host computer serial port for touchscreen

– to AC power

Before unpacking a new monitor, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If damage is visible, immediately contact the shipper and request assistance. Otherwise, proceed with unpacking.

TIP

Make sure you keep the original packaging for the monitor in case you need to return the monitor for repair.

2-2 Installation

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to help ensure that the monitor provides safe and reliable service.

• Ensure that sufficient power is available from a single phase AC outlet

at the site.

ATTENTION

• Ensure that sufficient space is available around air inlets and outlets to

provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to become obstructed.

• Ensure that the ambient air temperature will not exceed the specified

maximum temperature. You may need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition in some installations.

In order to maintain an electrically safe installation, RAC6185 Industrial Flat Panel Monitor (6185-F) must be connected to Earth ground when installed. Installing a 6185-F in a panel, enclosure or rack that is already connected to Earth ground will satisfy this requirement. Otherwise, connect the 6185-F to Earth ground using a 16 AWG or larger external wire.

The ground wire should have green insulation with a yellow stripe for easy identification.

TIP

IMPORTANT

• Leave the monitor's enclosure or cover in place at all times during

operation. The cover affords protection against high voltages inside the monitor and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.

Remember that heat rises. The temperature at the top of an enclosure is often much higher than the rest of the enclosure if the air is not circulating.

This monitor is designed to operate at a range of extremes. However, it is not good design practice to continuously operate the monitor at the highest end of the specified temperature range.

While the product will operate at its highest specified temperature, the overall life span of any electronic device is shortened when it operates at its highest rated temperature.

Publication 6185-UM006A-EN-P - July 2002

• Determine the minimum and maximum ambient humidity for the

monitor by consulting Appendix D, Product Specifications on page D-1. Ensure that the humidity of the ambient air will not exceed these limits (See Figure 2.1). In very dry environments, static charges build up very readily. Proper grounding of the equipment through the AC power cord can help reduce the likelihood of static discharges, which may cause shocks and damage electronic components

2-6 Installation

Installing your Monitor in a Panel

Panel mount monitors are designed to provide protection against water and dust to NEMA Types 1/12/4X (indoor use only) (IP65/IP53 equivalent) standards.

Slides or shelves are not required because the panel mount monitor is designed to be supported by the panel in which it is installed.

Tools Needed for Panel Mount Installation

In addition to the tools required to make the panel cutout, you will need the following tools:

• 3/8 in deep well socket

• 1/4 in drive extension - 6" or longer

• 1/4 in drive ratchet or 1/4" drive torque ratchet

Panel Mounting Guidelines

Observe the following precautions when installing the unit in a panel:

• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel.

– Allow at least 1.0 in (26mm) on the sides and bottom and 2.0 in

(51mm) on the top ventilation.

– A cabinet with a minimum depth of 2.9 in (74mm) is sufficient.

• Take precautions so that metal cuttings do not enter any components

that are already installed in the panel.

• Supporting panels should be at least 14 gauge to ensure proper sealing

against water and dust and to provide proper support. The mounting hardware supplied accommodates panels up to 0.25 in (6.35 mm) thick.

IMPORTANT

ATTENTION

Supporting panels must be cut and drilled to specifications before installation.

Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal injury or damage to the panel components.
