For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its
compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life
expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation.
Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are
requested to conform with the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
As a precaution and in case of danger, the power connector must be easily accessible. The power connector is the
product’s main disconnect device.
Warning
All operations on this product must be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel only.
Electric Shock!
Before installing a non hot-swappable Kontron product into a system always ensure that
your mains power is switched off. This also applies to the installation of piggybacks. Serious
electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation, repair, and maintenance operations
on this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable and any other cables which
provide external voltages before performing any work on this product.
Earth ground connection to vehicle’s chassis or a central grounding point shall remain
connected. The earth ground cable shall be the last cable to be disconnected or the first
cable to be connected when performing installation or removal procedures on this product.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instruction

Instructions for IT Equipment are not observed, it could lead to injuries to the operator
and/or damage to the product. Kontron is exempt from accident liability, also during the
warranty period if the instructions within this user guide are not observed.
The product has been built and tested according to the basic safety requirements for low voltage (LVD) applications
and has left the manufacturer in safety-related, flawless condition. To maintain this condition and also to ensure safe
operation, the operator must not only observe the correct operating conditions for the product but also the following
general safety instructions:
The product must be used in accordance with the instructions for use within this user guide.
The electrical installations must correspond to the requirements of the local (country-specific) regulations.
Take care that there are no cables, particularly power cables, in areas where persons can trip over the cables.
If supplied, only use the supplied power cable.
Do not use a damaged power cable.
For DC power connection: the DC power source should be able to be switched off and switched on via an isolating
switch. The product is only completely disconnected from the DC main power source, when the DC power cable is
disconnected either, from the power source or the product. Therefore, the DC power cable and its connectors
must always remain easily accessible.
For AC power connection via external AC/DC adapter: the main power cable of the external AC/DC adapter serves
as a disconnecting device. For this reason, the outlet of the AC power source must be located near the product
and be easily accessible.
Do not place the product in direct sunlight, near heat sources or in a damp place. Make sure the product has
adequate ventilation.
Only devices and components that fulfill the requirements of an SELV circuit (Safety Extra Low Voltage) in
accordance with EN60950 may be connected to the product’s interfaces.
All plugs on the connection cables must be screwed or locked to the housing.
The product generates heat during operation, make sure it is adequately ventilated. Do not cover the air intake
and exhaust openings of the product.
Handling and operation of the product is only permitted for trained personnel within a work place that is access
controlled.
Maintenance or repair on the open product may only be carried out by trained personnel authorized by Kontron
that are aware of the associated dangers.
When accessing internal components the product must be switched off and disconnected from the power
source.
The ext. supply shall meet the criteria for SELV and <240VA acc. UL 60950-01.

Open Frame Monitor- 15”, 17”, 19” - User Guide Rev. 1.0
www.kontron.com // 13
Additional safety instructions for DC power supply circuits:
To guarantee safe operation of products with DC power supply voltages larger than 60 volts DC or a power
consumption larger than 120 VA, observe that:
Product is set up, installed and operated in a room or enclosure marked with “RESTRICTED ACCESS”, if there
are no safety messages such as safety signs and labels on the product.
Do not touch either directly or indirectly, cables or parts without insulation in electrical circuits with
dangerous voltage or power.
Reliable protective earth connection is provided
Suitable, easily accessible disconnecting device is used in the application (e.g. overcurrent protective device),
if the product cannot be disconnected
A disconnect device, if provided in or as part of the equipment, must disconnect both poles simultaneously
Interconnecting power circuits of different devices cause no electrical hazards
A sufficient dimensioning of the power cable wires must be selected – according to the maximum electrical
specifications on the product’s type label – as stipulated by EN 62368-1 or VDE0100 or EN60204 or UL508
regulations.
The product do not generally fulfill the requirements for "centralized DC power systems“ (UL 60950-1, Annex
NAB; D2) and therefore may not be connected to such devices!
1.1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Therefore,
proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage.
Always take the following precautions:
ESD Sensitive Device!
Follow the electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions for components that are sensitive to
ESD. When handling ESD sensitive components use a clean, flat and ESD-safe workstation
and always be properly grounded. Failure to observe this warning notice may result in
damage to the product and internal components.
For more Information, see the Special Handling and Unpacking Instruction within this user guide and the Grounding
Methods below.
1.1.1. Grounding Methods
The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damage to the product:
Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to the workplace, as
well as properly grounded tools and equipment.
Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
Switch off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and styrofoam.
Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners that are conductive.
Always place drives and boards with the PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

5.2. Power Specification
The Open Frame Monitor is powered from an external Power Supply Unit (PSU). Kontron recommends the use of
Kontron’s specified PSU chosen to meet the product’s power specification and power protection requirements. The
Open Frame Monitor’s electrical specification can be found on the product’s type label.
The Open Frame Monitor’s nominal input voltage is 12 VDC or optionally 24 VDC. The Open Frame Monitor’s connector
panel is equipped with two different 12 VDC power connectors, one 2-pin DC power connector and one 12 VDC power
jack. Use only one of the 12 VDC power options to power the Open Frame Monitor.
For 24 VDC requirements, an optional 3-pin 24 VDC connector replaces the standard 2-pin 12 VDC connector.
Use only one of the 12 VDC power connectors (2-pin, 12 VDC or the DC-IN 12 VDC Jack).
Kontron recommends the use of Kontron’s PSU chosen to meet the product’s power
specification and power protection requirements.
Only connect the product to a PSU with a rated input voltage, power cable and the external
overcharge protection that corresponds with the electrical specification on the product’s
type label and complies with the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) requirements.
The PSU is not delivered with the product. To order the PSU, see Table 1: Accessories.
Power protection features such as holdup time and brownout protect against peaks,
fluctuations and interruptions in the mains power, and help ensure operation without loss o
f
data or damage to the product.
