This section describes how to install 6185-H, 6185-J and 6185-K
monitors.
When installing the monitor, it is important to consider environmental
factors that could affect performance as well as possible effects from
equipment operation on personnel and nearby equipment.
The figure on the left displays the general process to install, connect, and
adjust your monitor.
Installation Guidelines
Following these guidelines will 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.
Note: Remember that heat rises—many times the temperature at
the top of an enclosure is 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.
• 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.
