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.
Before you Begin

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.

Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe the following precautions before installing the unit in a panel:
• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel.
Allow at least 1.0” (26mm) on the sides and bottom and 2.0” (51mm)
on the top ventilation.
−For a 6185-H (15” panel mount), a cabinet with a minimum depth
of 2.9 in. (74mm) is sufficient.
−For a 6185-J (17” panel mount), a cabinet with a minimum depth
of 3.0 in. (76mm) is sufficient
• Take precautions so that metal cuttings do not enter any components
that are already installed in the panel.
• Supporting panels should be at least 14 gauge to ensure proper
sealing against water and dust and to provide proper support. The
mounting hardware supplied accommodates panels up to 0.25 in.
(6.35 mm) thick.
Note: Supporting panels must be cut and drilled to
specifications before installation.
ATTENTION: Failure to follow these warnings may
result in personal injury or damage to the panel
components.

Publication 6185-UM003C-EN-P
Installing a Monitor into a Rack
1. Verify that you have either eight rack units, 14.00" (356 mm), for the
6185-H (15” panel mount) or nine rack units, 15.75" (400 mm), for
the 6185-K (17” rack mount) available to mount your monitor.
2. Locate holes in the rack mounting rails corresponding to the holes in
the monitor front panel. Install clip nuts behind the holes in the rails
if threaded rails are not provided.
Note: The mounting rails that run vertically along the inside
edges of the front opening of an EIA rack cabinet can
be of two types:
•“Wide” rails have holes spaced 0.5"(12.7 mm) and
1.25"(31.8 mm) on centers, in a repeating pattern.
Wide rails are prevalent in Europe.
•“Universal” rails have holes spaced 0.5"(12.7 mm),
0.625"(31.8 mm), and 0.625"(31.8 mm) on centers,
in a repeating pattern. Thus, the universal rails have
a hole pattern that contains the wide pattern but
provides an additional hole at the midpoint of the
pattern. Universal rails are most prevalent in the US.
3. Install the monitor into the cabinet from the front.
4. Secure the monitor chassis to the cabinet by installing panel-
mounting screws through the holes in the monitor’s front panel and
into the rails behind.
