• Wall mount (non-display computer models)
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 10.
• Cut supporting panels to specifications before installation. Take precautions so metal
cuttings do not enter components that are already installed in the panel.
Supporting 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 that the area
around the panel cutout is clear.
Panel Cut Out Dimensions
The 6181P and 6181X Industrial Computers Cut Out Template, publication
shipped with all 6181X integrated display computers.
The integrated display computers must be mounted to meet these panel cut out dimensions.
ATTENTION:
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in personal injury or damage
to the panel components.
