VersaView 6300B Box PCs and 6300T Box Thin Clients Installation Instructions
Connect Peripheral Cables
Connect peripheral cables to the appropriate I/O ports on the computer. To comply with
EN 61326-1, use the following for cable types. All I/O cables must be used only indoors, and
USB cables must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) long.
Grounding and Bonding
Whenever two connected pieces of equipment are far apart, it is possible that their ground
connections could be at a different potential level.
To overcome these possible grounding problems, the following bonding methods are
recommended:
•
Method 1: Connect the data cable shields to the equipotential bonding rail on both
sides before connecting the cable to the interfaces.
•
Method 2: Use an equipotential bonding cable (16 mm
2
or 6 AWG) to connect the
grounds between this VersaView 6300B box PC or 6300T box thin client and a
connected monitor.
DC Power Supply Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to select the DC power supply for the computer.
•
The computer must be powered with a voltage of 24V DC (18…32V DC).
•
The nominal output power must be 25% larger than the drained power.
•
The output voltage rise time has to be less than 100 ms.
•
Consider the working temperature and the thermal derating of the power supply.
•
The inrush current cannot exceed a peak current of 10 A and a pulse width time of 400 µs.
Connect DC Power Wiring
Follow these steps to connect the box PC or box thin client to a DC power source.
Install the Ground Wire
1.
Turn off the main power switch or breaker.
2.
Remove the supplied nut, eyelet terminal, and washers from the ground screw.
3.
For earth ground, fasten a 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG) or larger external wire to the eyelet terminal.
Use a ground wire with an insulation color that is approved by local inspection authority.
4.
Install the ground wire to the ground screw in the sequence at right.
5.
Tighten the nut to the ground screw.
6.

ATTENTION:
Supply the box PC or box thin client with its own disconnect. On models with an available connection, use an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) to help protect against unexpected power failure or power surges.
You need the following tools for this installation:
• Small screwdriver
• Wire stripper, cutter, and crimper tool
• Cutting pliers
