Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
Important User Information Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. "Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Controls"
(Publication SGI-1.1) describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical
devices. Because of this difference, and because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for
applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or
application of this equipment. The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because
of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation cannot assume
responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation with respect to use of the information, circuits, equipment, or software
described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell Automation is

Throughout this manual, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.
ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can
lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
Important: Identifies information that is especially important for successful application and understanding of the product.

Installing Your Monitor
This section describes how to install 6185-H, 6185-J and 6185-K
monitors.
When installing the monitor, it is important to consider environmental
factors that could affect performance as well as possible effects from
equipment operation on personnel and nearby equipment.
The figure on the left displays the general process to install, connect, and
adjust your monitor.
Installation Guidelines
Following these guidelines will help ensure that the monitor provides
safe and reliable service.
• Ensure that sufficient power is available from a single phase AC
outlet at the site.
• Ensure that sufficient space is available around air inlets and outlets
to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air
passages to become obstructed.
• Ensure that the ambient air temperature will not exceed the
specified maximum temperature. You may need a user-supplied fan,
heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition in some
installations.
Note: Remember that heat rises—many times the temperature at
the top of an enclosure is much higher than the rest of the
enclosure if the air is not circulating.
Important:This monitor is designed to operate at a range of extremes,
however it is not good design practice to continuously
operate the monitor at the highest end of the specified
temperature range.
While the product will operate at its highest specified
temperature, the overall life span of any electronic device is
shortened when it operates at its highest rated temperature.
• Leave the monitor’s enclosure or cover in place at all times during
operation. The cover affords protection against high voltages inside
the monitor and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might
interfere with other equipment.

Installing Your Monitor 9
Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
• The Federal Communications Commission has prepared a pamphlet
that addresses the problem of radio frequency interference to radio
and television reception, which should be consulted in case of
problems with such interference. This publication, “How to Identify
and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems” (Stock #004-000-
00345-4) may be obtained from the US Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402.
• Determine the minimum and maximum ambient humidity for the
monitor by consulting the Appendix E: Product Specifications on
page 45. Ensure that the humidity of the ambient air will not exceed
these limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up very
readily. Proper grounding of the equipment through the AC power
cord can help reduce the likelihood of static discharges, which may
cause shocks and damage electronic components.
Depending on the options you selected when ordering your 6185
Economy Line monitor, you can install your monitor in of the following
ways:
• Panel mount
• Rack mount
Before Unpacking the Monitor
Before unpacking a new monitor, inspect the shipping carton for
damage. If damage is visible, immediately contact the shipper and
request assistance. Otherwise, proceed with unpacking.
Note: Make sure you keep the original packaging for the monitor
in case you need to return the monitor for repair.
