Installing Your Monitor
Installing Your MonitorInstalling Your Monitor
Before you Begin
This section describes how to install 6185-H, 6185-J and 6185-K
monitors.
When installing the monitor, it is important to consider environmental
factors that could affect performance as well as possible effects from
equipment operation on personnel and nearby equipment.
The figure on the left displays the general process to install, connect, and
adjust your monitor.
Installation Guidelines
Following these guidelines will 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.
• 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.
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
Note:
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—many times the temperature at
the top of an enclosure is 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.
Installing Your Monitor 9
• The Federal Communications Commission has prepared a pamphlet
that addresses the problem of radio frequency interference to radio
and television reception, which should be consulted in case of
problems with such interference. This publication, “How to Identify
and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems” (Stock #004-00000345-4) may be obtained from the US Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402.
• Determine the minimum and maximum ambient humidity for the
monitor by consulting the Appendix E: Product Specifications on
page 45. Ensure that the humidity of the ambient air will not exceed
these limits. 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.
Installing Your Monitor
Depending on the options you selected when ordering your 6185
Economy Line monitor, you can install your monitor in of the following
ways:
• Panel mount
• Rack mount
Before Unpacking the Monitor
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.
Note:
Make sure you keep the original packaging for the monitor
in case you need to return the monitor for repair.
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
10 6185 Economy Line Monitors
Installing your Monitor in a Panel
Panel mount monitors are designed to provide protection against water
and dust to NEMA 4/4X/12 (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.
Figure 5
Generic Panel Mount Diagram
Note:
Your monitor may differ from the above graphic.
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" deep well socket
• ¼" drive extension – 6" or longer
• ¼" drive ratchet or ¼" drive torque ratchet
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
Installing Your Monitor 11
Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe the following precautions before installing the unit in a panel:
• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel.
Allow at least 1.0” (26mm) on the sides and bottom and 2.0” (51mm)
on the top ventilation.
− For a 6185-H (15” panel mount), a cabinet with a minimum depth
of 2.9 in. (74mm) is sufficient.
− For a 6185-J (17” panel mount), a cabinet with a minimum depth
of 3.0 in. (76mm) 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.
Note:
Supporting panels must be cut and drilled to
specifications before installation.
ATTENTION: Failure to follow these warnings may
result in personal injury or damage to the panel
components.
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
12 6185 Economy Line Monitors
Installing Your Panel Mount Monitor
Complete the following to install your monitor:
1. Prepare panel cutout for monitor. Refer to specific cutout drawings
in Appendix B: Monitor Dimensions on page 36.
2. If access to the rear of the monitor is not available following
installation, attach the cables to the monitor at this time. Refer to the
figure on Page 15.
3. Install the monitor in the prepared cutout.
4. Install the lock nuts and washers, supplied with the monitor, around
the perimeter of the monitor. Extra lock nuts and washers are
provided.
Note:
Use #10-32 or M5 self-locking nuts for mounting.
ATTENTION: You must apply nuts and washers on all
studs for NEMA 4/4X/12 fluid applications.
Mounting nuts must be tightened to a torque of 24 inchpounds to provide panel seal and avoid potential damage.
Allen-Bradley assumes no responsibility for water or
chemical damage to the monitor or other equipment
within the enclosure due to improper installation.
5. Tighten all mounting nuts evenly to a torque of 24 inch-pounds.
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
Installing Your Monitor 13
Installing Your Monitor in a Rack
The 6185-K (17” rack mount) is designed for rack mounting, but you can
also install the 6185-J (17” panel mount) into a standard rack.
Using optional rack adapters, you can also install the 6185-H into a rack.
The rack adapter option for the 6185-H is Accessory option R. For rack
adapter installation procedures, see Appendix A: Installing Rack
Brackets on the 6185-H on page 35.
Tools Needed
You will need the following tools:
• EIA panel mounting hardware
• Phillips screwdriver (medium)
Rack Mounting Guidelines
Observe the following precautions when installing this unit in a rack:
• The cabinet must be tall enough to accommodate the monitor's panel
height:
− eight rack units, 14.00" (356 mm), for the 6185-H (15” panel
mount) with adapter
− nine rack units, 15.75" (400 mm), for the 6185-K (17” rack
mount)
• The cabinet must be deep enough to accommodate the monitor's
depth while providing rear clearance for cabling and airflow. The
following cabinet depths are sufficient:
− 2.9" (74 mm) for the 6185-H (15” panel mount)
− 3.0" (76 mm) for the 6185-K (17” rack mount)
• No slides or shelves are required because the rack mount monitor is
designed to be supported by the panels in which it is installed.
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
14 6185 Economy Line Monitors
Installing a Monitor into a Rack
1. Verify that you have either eight rack units, 14.00" (356 mm), for the
6185-H (15” panel mount) or nine rack units, 15.75" (400 mm), for
the 6185-K (17” rack mount) available to mount your monitor.
2. Locate holes in the rack mounting rails corresponding to the holes in
the monitor front panel. Install clip nuts behind the holes in the rails
if threaded rails are not provided.
Note:
The mounting rails that run vertically along the inside
edges of the front opening of an EIA rack cabinet can
be of two types:
• “Wide” rails have holes spaced 0.5"(12.7 mm) and
1.25"(31.8 mm) on centers, in a repeating pattern.
Wide rails are prevalent in Europe.
• “Universal” rails have holes spaced 0.5"(12.7 mm),
0.625"(31.8 mm), and 0.625"(31.8 mm) on centers,
in a repeating pattern. Thus, the universal rails have
a hole pattern that contains the wide pattern but
provides an additional hole at the midpoint of the
pattern. Universal rails are most prevalent in the US.
3. Install the monitor into the cabinet from the front.
4. Secure the monitor chassis to the cabinet by installing panel-
mounting screws through the holes in the monitor’s front panel and
into the rails behind.
