Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when you install the computer in a panel:
• Remove all electrical power from the panel before making the cutout.
• Verify that there is adequate space behind the panel. For specific
information, see
Mounting Clearance Requirements on page 20.
• Cut support panels to specifications before installation. Take precautions so
metal cuttings do not enter components that are already installed in the
panel.
Support panels must be at least 16 gauge for proper sealing against water
and dust, and to provide proper support. The supplied mounting
hardware accommodates panel thickness between 16…6 gauge or
1.6…6 mm (0.064…0.24 in.). Make sure the area around the panel cutout
is clear.
Panel Cutout Dimensions
The 6181P and 6181X Industrial Computers Cutout Template, publication
, is shipped with all 6181X integrated display computers.
The display computers must be mounted to meet these panel cutout
dimensions.
ATTENTION:
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in personal
injury or damage to the panel components.
