High-bright Display Modules
Environment and Enclosure
See the Outdoor Installation section for additional enclosure and certification information on
the high-bright display modules.
Outdoor Installation
When using the high-bright display module, catalog number 2711P-RDT12H, outdoors,
considerations in maximizing the field life of the front bezel and display are the following:
• Selecting the proper enclosure
• Orientation of the terminal
Both ultraviolet and infrared radiation can reduce the field life of any electronic device. While
the materials used in the terminal bezels provide long field life, that life can be improved by
proper installation.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun causes all plastics to fade or yellow and become brittle
over time. Using an antiglare overlay, catalog number 2711P-RGT12, will protect the front of
the terminal from direct exposure to UV radiation and greatly increase its field life.
When installing the high-bright display module in an environment where the front of the
terminal will be in direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day and the external ambient
temperature can exceed 40 °C (104 °F), use the visor kit, catalog number 2711P-RVT12. The
visor reduces the solar load on the front of the display and helps to maintain internal
temperatures within specification.
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in
overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to
2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR
Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated
disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that
is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The
interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. The terminals meet specified
NEMA Type and IEC ratings only when mounted in as panel or enclosure with the equivalent rating.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional installation
requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-IN026H-EN-P - May 2018 5
High-bright Display Modules
The high-bright display module has a built-in temperature sensor that automatically reduces the
backlight intensity if the temperature inside the cabinet exceeds 55 °C (131 °F). This reduces the
risk of damage to the display.
The paint color, size, and power dissipated by the internal components of an enclosure affect the
temperature rise inside the cabinet. Hoffman, a Rockwell Automation Encompass Partner, has
information to assist you with enclosure selection and heating/cooling accessories to meet the
temperature requirements of the installed equipment. See website
http://www.hoffmanonline.com.
Stirring fans or active cooling may be required in high altitude and high ambient temperature
locations to keep the internal enclosure temperature below 55 °C (131 °F). Use a heater in
installations where the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F).
The backlight of the high-bright display generates a significant amount of heat when set to full
intensity. To minimize the amount of heat generated and extend the life of the backlight,
decrease the display intensity by using the screen saver with a 5…10 minute delay.
Avoid placing the terminal on the south (north in the southern hemisphere) or west side of the
cabinet, if possible. This will reduce the heat rise due to solar loading during the hottest part of
the day.
Mount the terminal vertically to minimize solar loading on the display. Do not mount the
terminal in a sloped enclosure if it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
