Chapter 1 General Information
1.1. Introduction
The IPC-6520 is a universal monitor mounting kit for use in conjunction
with a standard EIA RS-310C 19" industrial rack. Its rugged design
accommodates 14" and 15" monitors. Simply adjust the retainers and
hold-down brackets to fit your monitor inside the IPC-6520, install the
unit in your rack and your system is ready to go.
This rugged IPC solution has a hinged front panel with a protective
Lexan antiglare screen. The rear of the IPC-6520 is open for easy access
to power and video cables. A hold-down retainer provides protection
against the shock and vibration found in industrial environments.
Combine this flexible rackmount monitor kit with the PCA-6570
Touchscreen Kit and IPC-610 Industrial PC Chassis and you’ll have a
high-performance industrial system.

Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Assembling the front panel screen
Use the hardware that has been provided to assemble the front panel
screen as shown in the diagram below.
Figure 2-1: Front panel screen assembly
2.2 Hinge assembly
The IPC-6520’s front panel screen can be opened and closed using two
hinges that are attached to the base of the enclosure. These hinges will
fit around the hinge posts that are attached to the front panel screen in
Figure 2-1. Figure 2-2 below shows how to attach these hinges.

2.6 Attaching the mounting brackets
The IPC-6520 can be mounted into a 19" rack using two mounting
brackets that are attached to the right and left sides of the enclosure. Be
sure to attach the chains from the front panel assembly to the sides of
the unit as shown below. The following diagram illustrates where and
how to mount these brackets.

2.7 Attaching the monitor’s retainers
The IPC-6520 uses four retainers to keep your monitor in a stable
position inside the enclosure. The first illustration (Figure 2-7) shows
the position of the two bottom retainers, and Figure 2-8 shows the
position of the other retainers. We suggest you attach these last two
retainers after you have installed your monitor. They can be adjusted
according to your monitor’s dimensions.

monitor should look exactly like the one shown in the following illus-
tration.
Installing the IPC-6520 into your 19" rack is easy. Just slide the enclo-
sure into the rack, and fasten its mounting brackets with the screws

Chapter 3 Touchscreen Installation
The IPC-6520 is ideally suited for installing a touchscreen into its front
panel. A touchscreen is an interface that allows you to access informa-
tion about your application directly from your monitor's screen instead
of having to use your computer’s keyboard. This section will assist you
in installing your touchscreen (if you have one) into the IPC-6520. For
information about connecting your touchscreen to your PC, refer to your
touchscreen's user’s manual.
3.1. Removing the IPC-6520’s screen
Before installing your touchscreen, you must first remove the
IPC-6520’s Lexan screen from its front panel. Figure 3-1 shows how
this is done. After removing the screen, store it in a safe place to avoid
damage.
3.2. Installing the touchscreen
After you have read through your touchscreen manual and have con-
nected the interface, replace the IPC-6520’s Lexan screen with your
new touchscreen. Figure 3-2 (below) shows how this is done.
