Chapter 2 Install the Monitor
Connect DC-powered
Monitors
Operate the VersaView 6300M DC-powered monitors in an industrial or
control room environment, which uses some form of power isolation from the
public, low voltage mains.
To maintain the product certifications, all VersaView 6300M DC-powered
models require a safety extra low voltage (SELV) power supply. The power
supply is internally protected against reverse polarity.
To minimize ground loop currents and noise, Allen-Bradley recommends that
DC-powered models use only one grounded connection. See
Install the DC
Power Connector Assembly on this page for the ground connection on these
models.
Install the DC Power Connector Assembly
The DC power connector assembly is shipped with the monitor but must be
assembled. This connector assembly provides strain relief for the DC power
wires by reducing their movement.
To assemble, wire, and install the DC power connector on the monitor,
perform the following steps.
1. Use DC power wire that is stranded copper and sized according to the
range in Table 5 on page 22 .
2. Remove the DC terminal block from the monitor chassis.
3. Open the power connector assembly kit that ships with the monitor
(A in Figure 6 ).
4. Insert the cable tie through the slots of the appropriate connector clamp
(B in Figure 6 ).
5. Strip the end of each DC power wire to the length in Table 5 .
6. Insert the DC terminal wires (red for + and black for –) into the supplied
DC terminal block to match C in Figure 6 .
Table 5 - DC Terminal Block Connection Specifications
7. Tighten the screws on top of the terminal block to secure the DC power
wires to the torque value in Table 5 .
8. Slide the connector half with the attached tie onto the end of the DC
terminal block (C in Figure 6 ).
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
For monitors that are used in hazardous locations: Do not connect or disconnect
when energized.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d'explosion
Pour les moniteurs utilisés dans des zones dangereuses : Ne pas brancher ni
débrancher sous tension.
You need the following tools for this installation:
• Adjustable torque screwdriver with M2 and M3 flat-blade screw bits
• Wire stripper, cutter, and crimper tool
• Cutting pliers
