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.
• 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.
• 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.
ATTENTION
!
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
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.
IMPORTANT
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.
