2–12 Installation
Publication 6180-6.0
To install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting clips:
ATTENTION: Disconnect all electrical power from the
panel before making cutout.
Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
Take precautions so that metal cuttings do not enter any
components that are already installed in the panel.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal
injury or damage to the panel components.
1. Cut an opening in the panel using the panel cutout dimensions
provided on page 2-8.
2. If the mounting studs are present, they should be removed. To
remove a stud, use a 1/8 inch socket and turn counterclockwise to
remove.
ATTENTION: Be careful not to damage the sealing
gasket when installing or removing studs. A damaged
seal may result in damage to the 6180 Computer and
other panel components due to a leaking seal.
3. Make sure the 6180 Computer sealing gasket is properly positioned
on the terminal. This gasket forms a compression type seal, do not
use sealing compounds.
4. Place the 6180 Computer in the panel cutout. The 6180 Computer
will snap into the panel as the temporary retaining tabs lock against
the panel (see note below).
Note:
Versions of the 6180 Computer designed for panel
mounting have metal tabs that temporarily lock the 6180
Computer against the panel. These tabs only facilitate
installation of the mounting hardware. The tabs are not
designed to provide permanent mounting.
5. Install the 10 mounting clips (Catalog No. 2711–NP1). The
mounting clips slide into the slots on the sides, top and bottom of the
6180 Computer as indicated by the arrows shown on the following
diagram (3 top, 3 bottom, 2 sides). Gradually tighten the clips one at
a time around the bezel (see tightening sequence next page). Repeat
this process at least three times until the clips are hand tight and the
gasket is compressed uniformly against the panel.
