2-2 Installation
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to help ensure that the monitor provides safe
and reliable service.
•
Ensure that sufficient power is available at the site.
Do not install the terminals in environments where atmospheric gases
have ignition temperature less than 55°C or 131°F.
•
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.
•
The ambient air temperature must 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.
•
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified
limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up very
readily. Proper grounding of the equipment through the AC
power cord can help reduce the likelihood of static discharges,
which may cause shocks and damage electronic components.
•
Leave the monitor's enclosure or cover in place at all times
during operation. The cover provides protection against high
voltages inside the monitor and inhibits radio-frequency
emissions that might interfere with other equipment.
ATTENTION
In order to maintain an electrically safe installation, a
6186-M monitor must be connected to Earth ground
when installed. Installing 6186-M in a panel,
enclosure or rack that is already connected to Earth
ground will satisfy this requirement. Otherwise,
connect your monitor to Earth ground using a
16 AWG or larger external wire.
The ground wire should have green insulation with
a yellow stripe for easy identification.
TIP
Remember that heat rises. The temperature at the
top of an enclosure is often much higher than the
rest of the enclosure if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT
This monitor is designed to operate at a range of
extremes. However, you should not 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.
