PHM/PM User Guide 2-1
INSTALLING THE MONITOR 2
Once the monitor has been unpacked and verified that you have received
all of the components ordered, you are ready to install the monitor in a
permanent location.
Install the monitor by mounting it in a control enclosure or on an
adjustable arm. This chapter explains how to select an appropriate location
for the monitor and how to mount it in an enclosure.
If you are mounting the monitor on an adjustable arm, refer to the
documentation that accompanies the arm for installation instructions.
Selecting a Location
The first step when installing the monitor is to select an appropriate
location for the unit. This is the most important aspect of the installation
process because the location you select can affect the monitor’s
performance, ease of use and life-expectancy. This section provides
guidelines to follow when selecting a location for the monitor.
Underwriters Laboratories Approval
In order to obtain Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approval for your
monitor installation, the installation must meet the following criteria:
1The monitor must be mounted in a standard industrial enclosure that
provides fire protection.
2The monitor complies with Type 4/4X sealing when mounted in an
enclosure that meets a Type 4 or 4X rating.
Class I, Division 2 Guidelines
If you purchased a Class I, Division 2 industrial monitor, you must follow
these guidelines in order to maintain a safe operating environment.
Warning Explosion Hazard — Do not disconnect equipment unless
the power has been switched off, or the area is known to be
non-hazardous.
Explosion Hazard - Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.

Chapter 2: Installing the Monitor Selecting a Location
PHM/PM User Guide 2-2
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2,
Groups A, B, C, D, or non-hazardous locations only.
Environmental Guidelines
The environment is the area where the monitor is located. In general,
select a place that limits the unit’s exposure to adverse conditions such as
dust, oil, moisture, condensation and corrosive vapors.
Touchscreen Considerations
The monitor’s touchscreen is designed to meet the Type 4 or 4X rating.
Mount the monitor in an enclosure that supports this rating in order to
provide proper protection.
The monitor’s touchscreen is resistant to a variety of chemicals. It can
resist the chemicals listed on page A-4 with no visible effect.
Make sure that the touchscreen is not exposed to chemicals other than
those listed in the table on page A-4.
Electrical Guidelines
To minimize unwanted electrical interference, select a location away from
machinery that produces intense electrical noise (arc welders, for
example). If you cannot avoid electrical noise, isolate input power to the
unit and separate all data communication cables from AC power lines.
Important Use the monitor ground stud to connect the unit to a suitable
ground reference, such as earth ground or building steel.
This ensures the unit is in compliance with immunity and
emissions requirements necessary for proper operation.
All serial communication cables should be 100% shielded with the shield
tied to chassis ground only at one end of the cable.
See Monitor Electrical Specifications on page A-3. Make sure that your
power source is compatible with the monitor before starting the unit.
The monitor accepts DC input only. To power the unit from AC power, you
must use an AC adapter. You can purchase a Parker AC adapter from your
local distributor.
Caution: The monitor’s power supply automatically detects the input
voltage level and adjusts accordingly. However, always use reliable
sources of power and isolate all communication cables from AC power lines
to enhance noise immunity.

Chapter 2: Installing the Monitor Selecting a Location
PHM/PM User Guide 2-3
Field Terminal Wiring Requirements
In order to comply with UL requirements, use copper wire with 60C or
60/75C insulation and a tightening torque of 7.0 lb/in. (0.79 N-m) when
connecting field terminal wiring to the monitor.
Enclosure Guidelines
Select an enclosure that is large enough to allow free airflow in and around
the monitor.
Caution: Remember that the temperature within a protective
enclosure is generally higher than the external temperature.
Thus, if the monitor is operating inside an enclosure at
temperature levels above its rated ambient temperature,
you must cool the enclosure.
You should allow a minimum of 2 inches between the inside of the
enclosure and the top, bottom, sides, and back of the monitor. Make sure
that the surface where the unit meets the front panel of the enclosure is
flat in order to ensure a Type 4 seal.
Refer to the CD that came with your monitor for dimensional drawings.
Radiated Emissions Guidelines
This monitor has been tested to comply with international electromagnetic
and emission standards. To reduce radiated emissions, ensure that there is
a good earth connection to the monitor, which can be accomplished by
utilizing the grounding stud located on the left-side of the chassis. Use the
shortest possible, heavy gage wire or braided cable to make this
connection.
Verify low-resistance (<0.5 ohms) continuity with an ohmmeter for proper
grounding. In addition, be sure all communication cables are shielded and
grounded only on one side.

Accessing Ports and Other Controls
As shown in Figure 2-1, a +24VDC power connector, USB and serial
touchscreen port, analog video input port, DVI-D video input port, and the
on-screen display controls (OSD) are located on the left side of the unit on
the PHM model of the monitor. The PM1 model does not have a DVI-D or
USB touchscreen connector. Be sure to design your enclosure with these
locations in mind.

Mounting the Monitor in an Enclosure
Read this section if you intend to mount the monitor in an enclosure. If you
plan to mount the monitor on an adjustable arm, see the documentation
that accompanies the arm for installation instructions.
Creating a Cutout
When mounting the monitor in an enclosure, you first need to create a
cutout for the unit and clean the area of any dirt or debris that might come
in contact with the monitor.
1Measure the cutout dimensions as shown in the table below.
2Cut out the marked area. The cutout dimensions depend upon the
size of your monitor. To maintain the flatness of the mounting
surface, it is recommended that you punch out the mounting hole, as
you should maintain proper surface flatness and edge quality.
Refer to the CD that comes with the monitor for the depth and port
dimensions of your monitor. Use these dimensions to customize the
mounting of your unit.
Important If using an external AC adapter, mounted to the rear of
the monitor, remember to take the adapter’s dimensions
into account when planning the depth of the monitor
enclosure.
3Debur the edges of the cutout area, removing dirt and debris that
might come in contact with the unit.
Mounting an External AC Adapter
The monitor uses DC power. You can however, operate the monitor using
AC power by ordering an optional external AC adapter.
The External AC Power Supply Adapter (P1X-PWRAC) is available from
Parker, along with an installation kit (BKT-1000) that allows you to mount
the adapter either on the back of the monitor or near it.
Caution Do not apply AC power to the unit without the AC adapter or
damage may occur.

Once you have connected your monitor to the non-display PowerStation or
to another computer, you are ready to start your system.
However, before connecting power to your unit, make sure that you have
read and understood the electrical and testing specifications described in
Appendix A, Monitor Specifications. Also, make sure that you follow the
guidelines listed below:
•For permanently connected equipment,a readily accessible
disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
•For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet must be installed near
the equipment and should be easily accessible.
Important Proper installation of the monitor for use in European Union
countries requires the use of a harmonized power cord. (The
power cord must be identified with the <HAR> symbol.)
Make sure that the monitor is only connected to the main
