Chapter 2 Install the Monitor
Panel Monitor Mounting
For VersaView 6300M monitors that can be panel mounted, perform the
following steps.
Panel Mounting Requirements
Follow these requirements to mount the VersaView 6300M panel monitor.
•
Choose a suitable mounting height.
•
To help prevent overheating and to provide access to the I/O ports for
cable connections, mount the monitor so there are the following
minimum clearances:
- X and Z directions: 7 cm (2.75 in.)
- Y direction: 10 cm (3.94 in.)
•
For optimal performance, mount the monitor in the horizontal
orientation and vertical (upright) position, so the I/O ports face down.
Enclosure Requirements
•
The enclosure must provide sufficient space around air inlets and outlets
to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. For further information,
see
on this page. Never allow air passages
to become obstructed.
•
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.
Consider a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat
generated by other devices in the enclosure. See
for the acceptable temperature ranges for these monitors.
IMPORTANT
For 6300M panel monitors in non-hazardous locations:
The vertical position can be tilted up to 20° forward or 20° backward
from the upright position. However, this acceptable tilt angle range
decreases the maximum operating air temperature to 45 °C (113 °F).
For 6300M panel monitors in hazardous locations:
The vertical position must always be in the upright position; there is
no acceptable tilt angle.

IMPORTANT:
This acceptable tilt

panel monitors in
non-hazardous locations.
6300M panel monitors for
hazardous locations cannot be
tilted.
