Chapter 2 Install the Monitor
Panel Monitor Mounting For VersaView 6300M monitors that can be panel mounted, perform the
following steps.
Panel Mounting Requirements
Follow these requirements to mount the VersaView 6300M panel monitor.
• Choose a suitable mounting height.
• To help prevent overheating and to provide access to the I/O ports for
cable connections, mount the monitor so there are the following
minimum clearances:
- X and Z directions: 7 cm (2.75 in.)
- Y direction: 10 cm (3.94 in.)
• For optimal performance, mount the monitor in the horizontal
orientation and vertical (upright) position, so the I/O ports face down.
Enclosure Requirements
• The enclosure must provide sufficient space around air inlets and outlets
to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. For further information,
see Panel Mounting Requirements on this page. Never allow air passages
to become obstructed.
• 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.
Consider a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat
generated by other devices in the enclosure. See Installation Guidelines
on page 15 for the acceptable temperature ranges for these monitors.
IMPORTANT For 6300M panel monitors in non-hazardous locations:
The vertical position can be tilted up to 20° forward or 20° backward
from the upright position. However, this acceptable tilt angle range
decreases the maximum operating air temperature to 45 °C (113 °F).
For 6300M panel monitors in hazardous locations:
The vertical position must always be in the upright position; there is
no acceptable tilt angle.

Panel Mounting the Monitor
Perform the following steps to install the monitor in the panel cutout.
1. Remove all electrical power from the panel before you make the cutout.
2. Cut an opening in the panel area to the dimensions needed for your
monitor that are found on page 12.
3. After the cutout is completed, clean the panel area of all debris and metal
fragments.
4. Make sure that the sealing gasket is positioned properly on the monitor.
5. From the front of the panel, insert the monitor into the cutout.
ATTENTION: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in personal injury or
damage to the panel components.
Take precautions so any metal fragments during the panel cutout do not enter
components that are installed already in the panel.
À l’attention des: Lorsqu'un panneau est découpé, des morceaux de métal
peuvent être produits.
Vous devez prendre les mesures de sécurité nécessaires pour prévenir la
pénétration des morceaux dans les composants déjà installés dans le panneau.
IMPORTANT You need two people to install the monitor; one person to hold the monitor in
place while another person installs the mounting clips.
IMPORTANT All monitors have a gasket that forms a compression-type seal.
Therefore, do not use sealing compounds.
