Installation

This chapter describes installation of the RAC6181 Industrial Computer
including how to install the RAC6181 Computer in a panel using
mounting studs or clips.

The RAC6181 Computer meets the European Union Directive
requirements when installed within the European Union or EEA regions
and has the CE mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is

available at the Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley Internet site:
www.ab.com

ATTENTION: The RAC6181 Computer is intended to
operate in an industrial or control room environment,
which utilizes some form of power isolation from the
public low voltage mains. Some RAC6181 Computer
configurations may not comply with the EN 61000-3-2
Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC
Directive of the European Union. Obtain permission
from the local power authority before connecting any
RAC6181 Computer configuration that draws more than
75 watts of AC power directly from the public mains.

Mount the RAC6181 Computer in a panel or enclosure to protect the
internal circuitry. Versions with a gasketed bezel meet NEMA Type 1,
12, 13 and 4 (Indoor use) and IEC IP54, IP65 only when mounted in a
panel or enclosure having an equivalent rating. The non-display version
does not have a gasket and has a NEMA Type 1 and IEC IP2X rating.

Allow enough room within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. Also
consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient
temperature around the RAC6181 Computer must be maintained
between 5

o

and 50

o

C (41

o

to 122

o

F). The RAC6181 Computer is

intended for use in Pollution Degree 2 environments.

Make sure you provide provisions for accessing the back and side panels
of the RAC6181 Computer to install/remove components, and to access
the floppy disk drive and optional CD-ROM type drives.

ATTENTION: The RAC6181 Industrial Computer is
designed for vertical panel-mount installation. Do not
mount the RAC6181 with DVD-ROM or CD-R/W option
with an angle more than 5 degrees from vertical. This
may cause operational problems with the DVD-ROM or
CD-R/W drive, and may result in damage to your media.
