Connect the 6158 Industrial Monitor to a computer with the appropriate
video cable. A touchscreen serial cable is required for monitors equipped
with the touchscreen option. To connect your monitor to a computer:
1.
Plan the route for the cables and confirm that the cables you have
ordered are long enough for the routing you have chosen.
2.
If you are using a standard HD-15 video cable with the monitor,
connect either end of the cable to the 15–pin video input connector.
See the rear panel drawing (Figure 5) to locate the HD-15 connector.
Tighten the captive screws on the cable connector to secure it.
Or
If you are using the optional BNC video interface, connect the ends
of the BNC video cable to the red, green, blue and composite sync
input connectors.
Note:
As the rear panel configurations in Figure 5 indicate,
the monitor is equipped with an HD-15 video
connector. Optionally, it can be equipped with an HD-
15 connector and four BNC connectors. The HD-15
and the BNC inputs are wired in parallel and constitute
a single interface.
3.
For monitors configured with the touchscreen option, connect one
end of the serial touchscreen cable to the connector labeled “AUX1”
on the rear panel of the monitor. Tighten the captive screws to secure
it.
4.
Route and secure the cables. In cases where the cable crosses a door
hinge, be sure to leave enough excess cable for a loose fit in all door
positions. The monitor cables are designed to be flexible, so routing
across a hinge should not result in application failure. The minimum
recommended bend radius for a video cable is 38 mm (1.5 in.).
5.
Connect the standard 15–pin connector end of the video cable to the
computer’s video output connector. Tighten the captive screws on
the cable connector to secure it.
6.
Connect the touchscreen cable free end to an appropriate RS–232
communications port on the computer. Tighten the captive screws on
the cable connector to secure it.
7.
Coil and secure any extra cable length in a convenient location.
