Real Time Clock
The computer’s real-time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you NOT replace
the lithium battery on your own. If the battery needs to be changed, please contact the Moxa RMA service
team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the wrong type of battery is used. To avoid this potential dan
ger, always be sure
to use the correct type of battery. Contact the Moxa RMA service team if you need to replace your battery.

Placement Notes
Before installing and mounting the MPC-2190 panel computer, please read the following notes:
1. The MPC-2190 series is designed for various installation or mounting methods, for example: desktop
mounting, wall mounting, and VESA mounting. Please refer to the relevant mechanical drawings in the next
sections before attempting to mount the panel.
2. It is advised that good ventilation is necessary to prolong the computer’s lifespan. The chassis’ heat-sink
area MUST be kept clear from other heat generating items, as this may damage the system motherboard.
The minimal distance is 150 mm.
3. Allow sufficient physical space for proper ventilation, cable connectors, wiring passage, and pracitcal
maintenance purposes.
4. DO NOT install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), as the heat inside of the unit is not dissipated
effectively and will damage the LCD panel. It is recommended to install the unit in a vertical position (±30
degrees) for better heat dissipation.
5. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and
under certain circumstances might lead to overheating. Please take this point into consideration when the
bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows, ventilation, etc.)
6. Exposure to strong vibration or acoustic noise might affect the functionality and expected lifetime of the
computer. Take consideration of these factors during system assembly and installation, to ensure the
mounting position avoids exposure to strong vibrations.
7. For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place, and fasten the computer to its
mounting point. Before you lift or move the computer, first verify the computer is disconnected from any
power source, and turned off. In addition, make sure you have prepared the correct screws for a wall
mounting.

MPC-2190 Hardware Hardware Connection Description
3-3
Desktop Mounting
The MPC-2190 comes with optional brackets that allow you to temporarily install the panel computer on a
horizontal surface, such as a desktop. Three round screws are required for each bracket. See the figure below
for detailed screw specifications and their torque value.
Desktop mounting of this sort is intended as a temporary workaround when configuring or testing the computer
before permanent installation. The desktop mounting brackets should not be used for permanent installations.
Place your MPC-2190 Series panel computer on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation,
leave some space between the MPC-2190 Series and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on
top of the MPC-2190 Series panel computer, as this might damage the computer’s internal components.
Wall Mounting
The MPC-2190 Series comes with 14 optional clamp mounts that allow for installation onto a wall (where space
has been cut out to accommodate the rest of the hardware) or into computing stations where a flush mount is
desired. The maximum thickness of the surface to which the computer will be clamped is 11 mm. For
a secure mounting, all 14 clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of the
MPC-2190. Use the short M4 SUS (stainless) screws to fasten the clamp arms to the MPC-2190 mounting slots,
as shown in the magnified inset in the diagram at the top of the next page. Next, use the clamps to fasten the
computer to its mounting point; please note the torque value that is shown in the figure inset below.

VESA Mounting
The MPC-2190 also comes with an optional VESA mounting kit. Six flat screws and four round screws are
required to fasten the VESA mounting bracket. See the figure below for detailed screw specifications and torque
values.
An additional four screws (not included in the kit) are required to mount the computer on a VESA rack. For this
purpose, use M6 screws with a length between 10 and 12 mm.

Wiring Requirements
This section describes how to connect peripheral devices to the panel computer.
You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any
electronic device:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The
rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your MPC-2190 Series.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Requirements
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and
consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the display:
•Position the display within ±40° of the vertical.
•Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the display if (a) the display is not positioned
within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, or (c) the display is used in a
location with minimal ventilation.
Important Safety Precaution
Even though the display is rated to operate within the IEC 60945 standard of -15 to 55°C for marine
applications, it is best to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will increase the
life of your display and minimize service costs.
Grounding the MPC-2190 Series
Before you power on the MPC-2190 Series, please ground the MPC-2190 as grounding and wire routing help
limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground
screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
