Bulletin 6185-C and 6185-B Industrial Flat Panel Monitors

Publication 6185-5.1

When connecting the monitor, note the following safety considerations:

ATTENTION: EXPLOSION HAZARD! – Substitution
of components (6185-C) may impair suitability for Class
I, Div. 2.

EXPLOSION HAZARD! – Do not disconnect
equipment (6185-C) unless power has been switched off
or the area is known to be non-hazardous.

The video connection to the host is made through a HD-15 (female)
connector located on the side panel.

Note:

For more information on using a HD-15 video cable to
connect to the host computer, see page 49.

To establish a signal using the HD-15 connector:

1. Obtain a shielded, properly terminated video cable of length as short

as possible. Longer cables (up to approximately 75 feet in some
cases) may be used, provided they are properly constructed. Your
package may include a six-foot or 15-foot video cable, if specified.

2. Connect one end of the cable to the female HD-15 video input

connector on the side panel of the monitor.

3. Connect the other end to the output of any IBM-compatible VGA

adapter or other video generator.

Note:

You may connect the monitor to video generators that
do not conform to VGA standards. The main
requirement is that the generator provides analog RGB
video signals (0.714V above reference black into 75
ohms) and separate horizontal and vertical sync signals.
