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 affects the monitor’s performance,
ease of use and life-expectancy. This section provides guidelines to follow
when selecting a location.
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 must be mounted in an enclosure that meets a Type 4
rating.

Chapter 2: Installing the Monitor Selecting a Location
PHM/PM User Guide 2-3
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.
The monitor’s electrical specifications are shown in the table below.
Make sure that your power source is compatible with the monitor before
starting the unit.
The monitor accepts DC input only. To apply AC power, you must use an
AC adapter. You can purchase an 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.
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.
Category Specifications
Input voltage 24 VDC @ 2A max
Power requirements 48 Watts maximum
Fuse rating 4A (very fast-acting type)

Chapter 2: Installing the Monitor Selecting a Location
PHM/PM User Guide 2-4
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
You can safely operate the monitor within the temperature range specified
in the table below.
Important: Limit the monitor’s exposure to adverse conditions, such as
dust, oil, moisture, and corrosive vapors in order to minimize
maintenance and repair costs.
Be sure to choose an area for the monitor that is free from moisture or
condensing humidity.
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 type 4 seal.
Refer to the CD that came with your monitor for dimensional drawings.

Accessing Ports and Other Controls
As shown in Figure 2-1, a +24VDC power input port, touchscreen port,
analog video input port and the on-screen display controls (OSD) are
located on the left side of the unit in all models of the monitor. Be sure to
design your enclosure with these locations in mind.
Figure 2-1: Monitor Ports
Important To be compliant with CE EMC emission requirements under
EN55011, all video, serial, and parallel port communication
cables must be 100% braided shielded cable.
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, you can do this by using 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.

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, 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-CTC, 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.
Monitor Size Cutout Height Cutout Width
15” (stainless steel bezel) 12.40” (315mm) 15.90” (404mm)
15” (standard bezel) 12.40” (315mm) 15.90” (404mm)
17” (standard bezel) 14.26” (362mm) 17.06” (433mm)

Chapter 2: Installing the Monitor Mounting the Monitor in an Enclosure
PHM/PM User Guide 2-7
To mount the adapter on the back of the monitor:
1Place the monitor face-down on a static dissipative mat in a location
free from dirt and moisture and protected against static discharge.
2Place the external AC adapter between the four mounting holes in the
center, as shown in Figure 2-2 : Mounting an External AC Adapter.
Make sure that the adapter’s DC connection is toward the top of the
monitor and that the AC connection is toward the bottom.
3Place the two adapter mounting clamps over the top and bottom of
the adapter, as shown in the illustration. Align the holes in the clamps
with the mounting holes in the back of the monitor.
Notice that the lower mounting clamp has a special extension that
reaches down over the AC connection and holds it in place.
4Fasten the adapter to the monitor with the four retaining screws
included in the adapter installation kit. The completed installation
should look like the illustration below.

For instructions on how to mount the external AC adapter near the
monitor, see the documentation that accompanies the adapter installation
kit.

Preparing the Power Connector
Prepare the power source for the unit by sliding the positive and negative
wires into the appropriate slots on the power connector as shown in Figure
2-3 : Power Connector.

Connect the ground cable from the power connector to an earth ground.
Mounting the Monitor
There are two styles of clamps used to mount the monitor to your
enclosure depending on the display size. Both styles are illustrated in
Figure 2-4 : Mounting the Clamp Diagram below. When mounting the
monitor, note that the 15” monitor uses 8 clamps to mount in its
enclosure, while the 17” monitor uses 12 clamps.
To mount the monitor:
1Slide the monitor into the cutout from the front.
2Attach the mounting clamps, with their screws, to the back of the
unit in the spaces provided.
• If you have a 15” monitor, attach 8 mounting clamps, with their
screws, to the back of the monitor in the spaces provided. Place
2 clamps at the top and bottom of the monitor and 2 on each
side.
• If you have a 17” monitor, attach 12 mounting clamps, with
their screws, to the back of the monitor in the spaces provided.
Place 3 clamps at the top and bottom of the monitor and 3 on
each side.
The clamps secure to the unit using CTC’s sliding mechanism. Insert
the clamp into the wide end of the slot and slide it to the thin end.
See Figure 2-4 : Mounting the Clamp Diagram on page 2-9.

3Slide the feet of the mounting clip into the slot, then slide the clip
over to properly mount the unit.
4Tighten each of the mounting screws against the front of the
enclosure.
5Torque the screws to 7 in/lbs.
Caution: Do not over-tighten the screw/clamp assemblies or you
may damage the monitor. However, under-tightening
may not guarantee a Type 4 seal.
6Tighten the screws in a crosswise sequence to ensure a good seal
and prevent damage. Tightening the bracket assembly may not
ensure that the gasket seal is totally depressed by the bezel. You
may see a small gap between the bezel and the enclosure.
After you have mounted the monitor, you are ready to connect the monitor
to a computer, start up your system, and if necessary, set up the monitor.
Instructions for these activities are described in Chapter 3, Connecting to a
Computer.

PHM/PM User Guide 3-1
CONNECTING TO ACOMPUTER 3
The monitor is designed to be used with a computer—either a PowerStation
or another computer running MS-DOS or Windows 98, NT 4.0, Embedded
NT, 2000, or XP. If you purchased a PowerStation with your monitor, your
complete PowerStation system is set up and ready for you to use once you
connect the components.
However, if you are connecting your monitor to another computer, you
need to complete the setup procedures described in this chapter, including:
how to connect the monitor to your computer, how to prepare the monitor
to work with your computer, and how to read and adjust the on-screen
display (OSD).
Connecting to a Non-display PowerStation
To connect your monitor to one of the non-display PowerStations,
complete the following steps:
1Connect the 15-pin video cable to the Analog Video Input port on
both the monitor and the non-display PowerStation, see Figure 3-1.
2Connect the 9-pin touchscreen cable to the Touchscreen port on the
monitor and to the COM2(B) communication port.
