Installing the RAC6185

18.1" Flat Panel Monitor (All Models)

This section describes how to install the RAC6185 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor.

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 personnel and nearby equipment.

Following the guidelines will help ensure that the monitor will provide 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. A user supplied fan, heat exchanger or air conditioner may be required to meet this condition in some installations.

• 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.

• 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 specification sheets at the back of this manual. 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.

• Following product hose down, a monitor with a capacitive

touchscreen may not operate properly until the surface area between the front panel sealing gasket and the touchscreen sensor dries completely. Drying time can vary from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on ambient conditions. Furthermore, the monitor should not be powered up and operational during a hose down.

Industrial 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor 9

Panel Mount (6185-D)

The panel mount (6185-D) monitor is designed to provide protection against water and dust to NEMA 4 (IP65) and NEMA 12 (IP52) standards.

No slides or shelves are required because the panel mount (6185-D) monitor is designed to be supported by the panel in which it is installed.

Figure 2 Generic Panel Mount Diagram

Tools Needed

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-UM001B-EN-P

10 Industrial 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor

Panel Mounting Guidelines (6185-D)

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

• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel. Remember to

allow extra space (0.5 in. or 12.7 mm behind and on each side) for air circulation. A cabinet with a minimum depth of 5.12 in. (130 mm) 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 prior to installation.

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

Panel Mount Dimensions (6185-D)

This section shows the dimensions of the panel mount unit. Use this information to ensure you have adequate space to install the unit and route cables. Units are in mm [inches].

12 Industrial 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor

Panel Mounting Procedure (6185-D)

1. Cut and drill the panel (refer to following figure). Units are in mm

[inches].

Figure 6 Panel Mounting Cutout

Publication 6185-UM001B-EN-P

2. If access to the side of the monitor is not available following

installation, attach the power and video cables to the side of the monitor at this time. Refer to the figure on Page 28.

3. Install the monitor in the prepared cutout.

4. Install the lock nuts and washers, supplied with the monitor, behind

the holes running along the sides and top/bottom of the cutout in the panel. Extra lock nuts and washers are provided.

Note:

Use #10-32 or M5 self-locking nuts for mounting.

Industrial 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor 13

5. Tighten all mounting nuts evenly to a torque of 24 inch-pounds.

ATTENTION: Mounting nuts must be tightened to a torque of 24 inch-pounds to provide panel seal and avoid potential damage. Rockwell Automation assumes no responsibility for water or chemical damage to the monitor or other equipment within the enclosure due to improper installation.

6. Attach the power and video cables to the side of the monitor if you

have not already done so. See the figure on Page 28.

Rack Mount (6185-N)

The rack mount (6185-N) monitor is designed for installation in a rack cabinet that conforms to EIA standards for equipment with 19" (483 mm) wide panels.

Tools Needed

You will need the following tools:

• EIA panel mounting hardware

• Phillips screwdriver (medium)

Rack Mounting Guidelines (6185-N)

Observe the following precautions when installing this unit in a rack:

• The cabinet must be tall enough to accommodate the monitor's panel

height of nine rack units, 15.75" (400 mm), and deep enough to accommodate the monitor's depth while providing rear clearance for cabling and air flow. A cabinet with depth of 5.0" (127 mm) is sufficient.

• No slides or shelves are required because the rack mount (6185-N)

monitor is designed to be supported by the panels in which it is installed.

16 Industrial 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor

Rack Mounting Procedure (6185-N)

1. Carefully remove the monitor from its packaging.

2. Locate holes in the cabinet front 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 front panel and into the rails behind.

Industrial 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor 17

Versa Mount (6185-V)

The Versa mount (6185-V) monitor is designed to be mounted using VESA FPMPMI 100 mm arm or yoke mounting hardware.

The arm attachment allows you to mount the monitor on a horizontal or a vertical surface, and provides the flexibility to swing the monitor out of the way in tight areas or to reposition it as the operator moves around the workspace.

The yoke bracket assembly allows you to tilt and swivel the monitor to adjust it for optimal viewing.

Tools Needed

You will need a medium Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.

Versa Mount Mounting Guidelines (6185-V)

Observe the following precautions when installing this unit on an arm or in a yoke:

• Ensure that the surface you are mounting the unit on is sturdy enough

to support it. The monitor alone weighs approximately 14.0 lb. (6.4 kg). The weight of the entire unit is the monitor weight plus the mounting hardware weight.

• Ensure that the mounting arm used is strong enough to support the

unit. The arm should meet VESA FPMPMI 100 mm standards.

• Select a location for mounting that provides clearance for mounting

and positioning the adjustable unit as well as routing all cables. See Figures 10-13 below.
