Installing the Monitor Chapter 2

Environment and Enclosure
Information

Review the information on enclosures and environments before
installing your computer.

ATTENTION

Environment and Enclosure

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
m (6561 ft) 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 and hazardous location equipment must be
mounted in an enclosure that is suitably designed or 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 in ordinary (nonhazardous)
locations 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, 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 monitor cannot
tip.

All units ship with a gasketed bezel to 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 required to comply with certain
product safety certifications.

Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are
required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
Alllen-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.

Chapter 2 Installing the Monitor

Installation Guidelines

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 let
air passages 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 a user-supplied fan, heat
exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.

• 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.

ATTENTION

To maintain an electrically safe installation, the product must
be connected to earth ground when installed. Follow the
appropriate grounding requirements associated with your
specific product type as described in this installation document.

TIP

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.

IMPORTANT

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.

All monitors support analog video. Your monitor ships with a
high-quality analog video cable. Use this video cable to connect a
computer to the monitor.

To connect the monitor to an analog video source follow these
directions.

1. Connect one end of the 2 m (6 ft) analog video cable to the

female, HD-15 video input connector on the monitor.

2. Connect the other cable end to the VGA port of the computer or

to the video generator VGA port, if used.

Connecting to a Host Digital Video Source

All monitors support digital video. Use a digital video cable to connect
the host computer to the DVI connector on the monitor. This cable is
not supplied, but can be purchased as a monitor accessory.

TIP

You can use cables with a maximum length of 15 m
(50 ft) at lower monitor resolutions, provided they are
properly constructed. Video amplifiers are available for
longer distances.

TIP

You can connect the monitor to a video generator that
does not conform to VGA standards if the generator
provides analog RGB video signals (0.714V above
reference black into 75 Ω) and separate horizontal and
vertical sync signals. Depending on the signal, the
monitor may or may not function properly.

Chapter 2 Installing the Monitor

Follow these steps to connect the monitor to a digital video source.

1. Connect one end of the digital video cable to the female, DVI

video input connector on the monitor.

2. Connect the other cable end to the output of any DVI video

source.

Connecting the Optional Touchscreen Interface

An optional touchscreen provides a high-resolution touch input
system. The driver software included with the monitor allows the
touchscreen to function with many Microsoft Windows-based
industrial applications as a pointing device or mouse.

The RS-232 DB9 (female) D-shell connector on the side panel of the
monitor provides the serial touchscreen interface connection to the
host.

Follow these directions to connect the touchscreen interface.

1. For units with the touchscreen option, connect one end of the

included touchscreen serial cable to the RS-232 port connector
on the monitor.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to a serial port on the host

computer.

This port is typically COM2.

3. Tighten the captive screws on the cable connector to secure it.

TIP

For a DVI cable longer than 5 m (10 ft), use a DVI cable
extension.

Installing the Monitor Chapter 2

Connecting ac Power

With the ac power adapter, the monitor can use a single-phase ac
power supply providing 90…264V ac at 47…63 Hz.

Power must be available from a grounded outlet nearby. Whenever
possible, connect the monitor to the same ac source that supplies the
computer.

To connect power to the monitor follow these directions.

1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.

2. Connect the external power-supply cable to the 12V dc

power-input connector on the monitor and secure this
connection by screwing the barrel over the threads.

3. Connect the power cord into the main supply.

4. Restore ac power.

WARNING

Hazardous Location Installation

Secure the ac power cord in the adapter by the metal cage.

Chapter 2 Installing the Monitor

Connecting dc Power

The 1200M, 1500M, 1700M, and 1900M monitors connect to a dc
power source using a dc input terminal block.

Follow these steps to connect power to the monitor.

1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.

2. Route the power wires from your dc power supply and connect

the leads to the dc input terminal block on the monitor.

The monitors accept a 9…36V dc input power-supply
connection.

3. Tighten the screw terminals to provide a good connection.

4. Secure the terminal block connector to the unit by using the two

side screws.

5. Restore dc power.

Configure the Video Setup

Chapter Objective

This chapter describes how to:

• set the monitor type.

• check and change the display resolution.

• adjust monitor brightness.

• adjust the monitor using the control keypad.

• perform the automatic setup.

• use the OSD to adjust the monitor.

Setting the Monitor Type

The monitors are Plug and Play compliant devices. If you are using
Windows® 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, and if
your video card supports it, enable your computer to detect Plug and
Play monitors. Your computer will automatically set the monitor type.
Additional setup should not be required.

If your video card does not support Plug and Play, or if you are using
Windows NT®, you must set the monitor type manually.

There are two possible monitor types.

• Plug and Play Monitor for the monitors with a Plug and Play
enabled system

• Default Monitor for monitors that are set up manually

TIP

If your video card does support Plug and Play, but it does not
appear that your monitor type has been set properly, set the
monitor type manually. For example, the screen image may be
too large or small, or otherwise distorted.

IMPORTANT

The monitors use a (digital) flat panel display. However, when
they are driven by the computer's analog VGA interface, they
are connected as an analog device. Some setup screens may
indicate that the monitor is operating as a CRT (analog) device,
rather than a digital or flat-panel device.

Chapter 3 Configure the Video Setup

Setting the Monitor Type Manually

The table provides procedures for setting the monitor types manually
on computers with different settings.

Checking and Changing
the Display Resolution

Flat panel monitors are fixed-resolution devices. The image looks best
when the monitors are operated at their native resolution. However,
the monitors have advanced scaling capabilities to make the display
look as good as possible while running in nonnative modes.

Native resolutions differ depending on the monitor.

• 1200M: 800x600

• 1500M: 1024x768

• 1700M: 1280x1024

• 1900M: 1280x1024

Perform Routine Maintenance

Chapter Objective

This chapter describes how to clean the monitors and perform other
routine maintenance.

Cleaning the Monitor

Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth
dampened (not soaked) with a mild (nonabrasive) glass cleaner. Keep
turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to avoid
scratching it with accumulated grit.

Be careful when cleaning a touchscreen shield that is installed over
the screen. Abrasive and certain chemical cleaners can easily damage
the surface.

Replacing a Line Cord

To avoid shock and fire hazards, replace the monitor’s power cord if
the insulation breaks or if the cord develops a loose internal
connection. Contact your authorized Allen-Bradley distributor for
ordering information.

Other Maintenance

Qualified service personnel should perform all maintenance, except
for the power cord replacement. Contact Allen-Bradley Technical
Support for assistance.

IMPORTANT

Apply the solvent only to the cloth, and not directly on the
monitor screen. Do not use paper products as they may scratch
the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow the screen
to stand dry.

ATTENTION

You can use alcoholic or ammonia cleaners to clean the
polycarbonate shield or a touchscreen. However, use only one
or the other at all times. A residue mixture can cause a
chemical reaction.

Touchscreen Serial Interface

All touch controllers are configured by default to provide serial
communication at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

For monitors equipped with touchscreens, a serial 2 m (6 ft)
communication cable is included. You can also create your cable. The
cable is a straight-wired serial (RS-232) cable with a male DB-9 D-shell
connector on the monitor end.

The cable provides a communication channel between the
touchscreen controller, which is mounted inside the monitor, and an
RS-232-C serial 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 touchscreen must be loaded on the host
computer to handle communications with the touch controller over
the channel.

Because the touchscreen emulates a mouse, there may be
compatibility 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 touchscreen
documentation.

Set Up the Touchscreen
Interface

This section describes how to set up the touchscreen system. You will:

• enable the touchscreen interface.

• install the software on the host computer that will handle

communications with the touchscreen controller.

• calibrate a touchscreen.

54 Publication 6186M-UM001J-EN-P - July 2008

Appendix B Touchscreen Serial Interface

Enabling the Touchscreen Interface

The monitors provide a female DB-9 connector on the side of the
panel. This connector provides the serial interface for the touch
controller.

The table shows how to connect the wiring to the host serial port.

Installing the Touchscreen Driver Software

To install the touchscreen driver software correctly, obtain the
following information about the host hardware:

• The COM port in use for the touchscreen

Verify that the RS-232 cable is properly installed between the
monitor port and the host’s COM port.

• The baud rate at which the controller is operating

You will need to match the baud rate at the COM port. The
controller baud rate is factory set at 9600.

Once you have obtained this information, install the software using
the installation disks found in the touchscreen accessory package.

Calibrating a Touchscreen

After installing the driver software, follow the calibration instructions
in the touchscreen documentation accessory package.

Following installation of the touchscreen software and calibration, the
touchscreen is ready to use.

Video Cables

You can use the HD-15 connector cable included with your monitor to
connect the monitor to the host computer.

HD-15 Video Connector

The HD-15 video cable 2 m (6 ft) is equipped with a conventional
HD-15 connector at each end.

The illustration shows the connector looking into pin end of male
connector or solder term end of female connector.

The Standard HD-15 Video Cable table provides the pin numbers and
corresponding pin assignments for the HD-15 video connector with
the DDC2B capability.
