Compliance European Union Directive Compliance
This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed within the
European Union or EEA regions and have the CE marking. A copy of the declaration of the
conformity is available at rok.auto/certifications.
Connect peripheral cables to the appropriate I/O ports on your industrial performance
monitor. To comply with EN 61326-1, see Peripheral Connections on page 9 for the required
cable types.
Environment and Enclosure Information
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended to operate in an industrial or control room
environment, which uses some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage
mains. Obtain permission from the local power authority before you connect any
monitor configuration that draws more than 75 W of AC power directly from the public
mains.
All I/O cables must be used only indoors.
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/EN 61326-1. Without appropriate precautions, there can be potential
difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. UL recognized and
hazardous location equipment must be mounted in an enclosure that is
suitably designed or rated for those specific environmental conditions that
will be present, and designed to help prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. UL Listed equipment need not be mounted inside
another enclosure in ordinary (nonhazardous) locations if NEMA Type and IEC
ratings are not required, but the mounting method must limit the tilt of the
product to ± 60° from vertical. Examples include an articulated arm, table-top
stand, or other means having sufficient mechanical stability. The mounting
means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface using screws, bolts,
or clamps so the monitor cannot tip. All units ship with a gasketed bezel to
meet specified NEMA and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or
enclosure with an equivalent rating.
Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with
certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosure

Chapter 2 Prepare for Installation
Installation Guidelines Follow these guidelines to make sure that your product provides safe and reliable service:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
.
• The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to provide the
circulation necessary for cooling. Never let air passages become obstructed.
•Thesurrounding air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature, either inside or outside of the enclosure. Consider heat produced by other
devices in the enclosure. You might need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air
conditioner to meet this condition.
• The humidity of the surrounding air must not exceed specified limits. In dry
environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the equipment
through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges, which can cause shocks
and damage electronic components.
• The enclosure or cover must always remain in place during operation. The cover
provides protection against high voltages inside the product and inhibits radio
frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.
• When mounted, the product cannot be tilted more than 60° from vertical.
ATTENTION: The AC adapter for your industrial performance monitor
must be grounded to maintain an electrically safe installation.
Grounding the industrial performance monitor itself is not required. 
To ground the AC adapter: Connect the product to earth ground with
the supplied AC cord ground wire or 0.9 mm2 (18 AWG) or larger external
wire.
The ground wire should have green insulation with a yellow stripe for
easy identification.
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher
than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not
circulating.
The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of
any electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate the product
at its highest rated temperature.
ATTENTION: Industrial computers and industrial performance
monitors are not safety devices. Follow standard safety practice and
redundancy in the application of this product.

Chapter 3 Mount
Panel Mount Installation For panel mount installation, your industrial performance monitor installs directly into a panel
with supplied mounting clips. The number of clips varies by model.
Panel Mount Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing your industrial performance monitor in a panel.
• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel.
- Allow a minimum clearance of 51 mm (2.0 in.) around the back, sides, and bottom,
and a minimum clearance of 77 mm (3.0 in.) on the top for ventilation.
- A cabinet with a minimum depth of 112 mm (4.4 in.) is sufficient.
• Cut support panels to specifications before installation.
- To achieve proper sealing against water and dust and to provide proper support, the
support panels must be at least 14 gauge.
- The supplied mounting clips accommodate panels up to 6.00 mm (0.236 in.) thick.
- Plan the mounting area according to the panel cutout dimensions.
- Use the cutout template supplied with your industrial performance monitor.
• Take precautions so that operating temperatures or other environmental specifications
of your industrial performance monitor are followed both inside and outside of the
enclosure. See Table 28 on page 46 for environment specifications.
Step A: Prepare the Panel Cutout
1. Use the full-size template shipped with your industrial performance monitor to create
the cutout.
2. Cut the marked area with the appropriate cutting tools for the panel material.
3. Remove any debris from the cutout.

Optional mounting adapters are available to mount a monitor into the existing
panel cutout of previous model performance monitors. See Table 4 on page 7 for a
list of panel mounting adapters.
ATTENTION: Risk of personal and/or product damage. Failure to follow
these mounting guidelines can result in personal injury or damage to the
panel components.
