Compliance mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the
Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley website
www.ab.com/certification.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to operate in an industrial or control
room environment, which uses some form of power isolation
from the public low-voltage mains. Some computer
configurations may not comply with the EN 61000-3-2
Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC Directive
of the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power
authority before connecting any computer configuration that
draws more than 75 W of ac power directly from the public
mains.

12 Installation
Environment and Enclosure Review the information on enclosures and environments before
installing the product.
Information
ATTENTION
Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000
meters (6 562 ft.) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without
appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties
ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. UL Listed
equipment need not be mounted inside another enclosure if
NEMA Type, UL, or IEC ratings are not required, but the
mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 30
degrees from vertical. Examples include articulated arm,
table-top stand, wall mount or other means having sufficient
mechanical stability and which is secured to the mounting
surface. Units that are not rack-mount ship with a gasketed
bezel to meet specified NEMA Type, UL, and IEC ratings only
when mounted in an enclosure with equivalent ratings.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings required
to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.
NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided
by different types of enclosure.

Installation 13
Installation Guidelines Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and
reliable service.
The installation site must have sufficient power.

The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and
outlets to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never
allow air passages to become obstructed.
The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum
operating temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices
in the enclosure. You may need a user-supplied fan, heat
exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is
often higher than the temperature in other parts of the
enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the

life span of any electronic device is shortened if you
continuously operate the product at its highest, rated
temperature.
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits
and must avoid condensation.
In dry environments, static charges build up easily. Proper
grounding of the equipment through the ac power cord helps to
reduce static discharges, which may cause shocks and damage
electronic components.
The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during
operation. The cover provides protection against high voltages
inside the product and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that
might interfere with other equipment.
For VESA mounting, the installation must provide sufficient
mechanical stability to minimize the effects from vibration and
shock. The mounting means must be firmly attached to the
supporting surface using the appropriate hardware.
Required Tools These tools are required for installation.

change monitor settings by using the on-screen display (OSD).
Set the Monitor Type The monitors are plug-and-play compliant devices. Your computer
will automatically set the monitor type. Additional setup should not be
required.
Check and Change Flat panel monitors are fixed-resolution devices. The image looks best
when the monitors are operated at their native resolution. However,
the Display Resolution the monitors have advanced scaling capabilities to make the display
look as good as possible while running in non-native modes.
The native resolutions of the monitors are:

1550M: 1024x768.
1750M and 1950M: 1280x1024.
If you switch the resolution of your monitor from its native resolution,
the display may look slightly distorted due to the replication
techniques used to fill the full screen with an image.
TIP Always operate the monitor at its native resolution.
To check or change your monitors display resolution, access the

Display settings in the Control Panel on your computer.

Chapter Objective This chapter describes how to clean the monitors, replace a line cord,
and perform other routine maintenance.
Clean the Monitor Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth
dampened (not soaked) with a mild (non-abrasive) glass cleaner.
Displays and touch screens are resistant to these chemicals.
Ethyl alcohol
Methyl alcohol
Cleaning naptha
Commercial glass cleaners
Ammonia in 10% diluted solution
Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to
avoid scratching it with accumulated grit.
IMPORTANT Apply the solvent only to the cloth, and not directly on the
monitor screen. Do not use paper products as they may scratch
the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow the screen
to air dry.
ATTENTION You can use alcoholic or ammonia cleaners to clean the

polycarbonate shield or a touchscreen. However, use only one
or the other at all times. A residue mixture can cause a
chemical reaction.
Be careful when cleaning a touchscreen protector that is installed over

the screen. Abrasive and certain chemical cleaners can easily damage
the surface.

Touchscreen Serial Interface
All touchscreen controllers are configured by default to provide serial

communication at 9600 Kbps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
The RS-232 and USB input connectors on the monitor provide a

communication channel between the touchscreen controller, which is
mounted inside the monitor, and either the RS-232 or USB connector
on the host computer. Because the touch controller obtains power
from the monitors power supply, no external touch power
connections are necessary. The monitors ship with a serial RS-232 and
USB touch screen interface cable.
Software supplied with the touchscreen must be loaded on the host

computer to handle communication with the touch controller over the
channel.
Because the touchscreen emulates a mouse, there may be

compatibility issues involving how the touchscreen emulates mouse
buttons, especially multiple buttons. For a complete discussion of
these issues and how to troubleshoot them, refer to the touchscreen
documentation.
Set Up the Touchscreen To set up the touchscreen system, you will:
