The Touch Out RS-232 is used when the touch screen option is utilized. A cable in
this port sends the signals from the touch screen to the computer.
There is a USB port on the front of the monitor that can be used at any time. This is a
pass-through only; there is no local USB activity on your KPM(T) monitor. To make
your device work, you must have a cable going out to the computer from the USB
port on the back of the monitor.
Caution
The USB cable that is used to connect the USB device cannot be more than 5 meters in
length from the host computer, or the device will not work correctly. Pro-face ships a
3M USB cable with the 5012KPM(T) monitors and 5015KPM(T) monitors.
As a basic part of the initial setup of your KPM(T) monitor, you will connect a cable
to both the AC port and the Video In port. The cable from the computer to the Video
In port provides the signal connection for the monitor. An RS-232 cable sends touch
screen signals to the computer. A PS/2 cable connected to the ‘host keyboard’ port
sends keypad (or an optional external keyboard) signals to the computer. A PS/2
cable connected to the ‘host mouse’ port sends integral mouse (or an optional
external mouse) signals to the computer.

Chapter 2 – Installation
This chapter offers detailed installation instructions and outlines the options for the
5012KPM(T) & 5015KPM(T). It also includes the guidelines for preparing your unit
for installation and use.
Installation Overview
Warning
For Hazardous Locations installation, review the Hazardous Locations
Installation section in this chapter before startup.
The rugged design of the KPM(T) monitors allows the unit to be installed in most
industrial environments. The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12
enclosure to protect against contaminants such as dust, and moisture. Metal
enclosures also help minimize the effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby
equipment can generate. Class II Hazardous Locations always require a Type 12
(dust-proof) minimum enclosure rating.
Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all the
safety requirements.
1. Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit within the enclosure to allow
easy access to the system ports (see other sections in this chapter and Appendix
A).
• To assure a NEMA 4 seal, choose an approved enclosure that has a 14-gauge
(0.075 in/1.9 mm thick steel or 0.125 in/3.2 mm thick aluminum) front face.
• Be sure to account for the unit’s depth when choosing the depth of the
enclosure.
2. Create a cutout in the enclosure (see Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 in System Cutout
Dimensions).
• Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level
• Make sure the area around the cutout is clean and free from metal burrs
3. Mount the unit in an upright position and properly secure the unit into the panel.
• Tighten the fourteen #10 nuts to 25 inch-pounds (2.8 Newton-meters / 28Kgf
cm).
4. Attach one end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the unit and the
other end to a properly grounded 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet, or optional 18-
30 VDC power source.

5. Turn on power to the KPM(T) monitor, and then to the host computer. The
system will boot up the installed operating system.
6. Install the application software via a floppy drive, CD-ROM, or the network.
Additional aspects to take into account when mounting your KPM(T) monitor:
•
••
• Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting
(interior lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience
•
••
• Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air
conditioner
•
••
• To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow
•
••
• Place any fans or blowers close to the heat generating devices. If using a fan,
make sure that outside air is not brought into the enclosure unless a fabric or
other reliable filter is used. This filtration prevents conductive particles and
other harmful contaminants from entering the enclosure.
•
••
• Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive
electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI).
Examples of these types of equipment are: high power welding machines;
induction heating equipment; and large motor starters.
•
••
• Place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage
transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) away from the
system. The proper location of incoming line devices keeps power wire runs
as short as possible and minimizes electrical noise transmitted to the unit.
•
••
• Make sure the location does not exceed the unit’s shock, vibration, and
temperature specifications
•
••
• Install the unit in the rack or panel in such a way as to ensure that it does not
cause a hazard from uneven mechanical loading
•
••
• Incorporate a readily-accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on
permanently connected equipment
•
••
• Avoid circuit overloading of the supply circuit

Power Management
The monitor is based on the VESA DPMS and the DVI DMPM standards. To
activate the monitor's Power Management function, both the video card and the
computer must conform to the VESA DPMS standard and the DVI DMPM standard.

It is a good practice to use isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to
the system. An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in which heavy
equipment is likely to introduce noise onto the AC line. The isolation transformer can
also serve as a step-down transformer to reduce the incoming line voltage to a desired
level. The transformer should have a sufficient power rating (units of volt-amperes)
to supply the load adequately.
Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. Refer to the relevant
federal, state/provincial, and local electric codes, which provide data such as the size
and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe grounding of
electrical components. The code specifies that a grounding path must be permanent
(no solder), continuous, and able to safely conduct the ground-fault current in the
system with minimal impedance (minimum wire required is 18 AWG, 1 mm).
Observe the following practices:
• Separate the power and ground (P. E., or Protective Earth) cable from signal
cables at the point of entry to the enclosure. To minimize the ground wire length
within the enclosure, locate the ground reference point near the point of entry for
the plant power supply.
• All electrical racks or chassis and machine elements should be Earth Grounded in
installations where high levels of electrical noise can be expected. The
rack/chassis should be grounded with a ground rod or attached to a nearby Earth
structure such as a steel support beam. Connect each different apparatus to a
single Earth Ground point in a "star" configuration with low impedance cable.
Scrape away paint and other nonconductive material from the area where a
chassis makes contact with the enclosure.

To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at the base of the system must not
exceed the maximum temperature specification (see Environmental Specifications in
Appendix A). Allocate proper spacing between internal components installed in the
enclosure. When the air temperature is higher than the specified maximum in the
enclosure, use a fan or air conditioner to lower the temperature.

Electrical noise is seldom responsible for damaging components, unless extremely
high energy or high voltage levels are present. However, noise can cause temporary
malfunctions that can result in hazardous machine operation in certain applications.
Noise may be present only at certain times, may appear at widely spread intervals, or
in some cases, may exist continuously.
Noise commonly enters through input, output, and power supply lines, and may also
be coupled through the capacitance between these lines and the noise signal carrier
lines. This usually results from the presence of high voltage or long, close-spaced
conductors. When control lines are closely spaced with lines carrying large currents,
the coupling of magnetic fields can also occur. Use shielded cables to help minimize
noise. Potential noise generators include switching components, relays, solenoids,
motors, and motor starters.
Refer to the relevant Federal, State/Provincial, and local electric codes, which
provide data such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections
necessary for safe grounding of electrical components. It is recommended that high-
and low-voltage cabling be separated and dressed apart. In particular, AC cables and
switch wiring should not be in the same conduit with all communication cables.

The power supply section of the unit is built to sustain the specified line fluctuations
and still allow the system to function within its operating margin. As long as the
incoming voltage is adequate, the power supply provides all the logic voltages
necessary to support the monitor unit.
Unusual AC line variations may cause undesirable system shutdowns. As a first step
to reduce line variations, correct any possible feed problems in the distribution
system. If this correction does not solve the problem, use a constant voltage
transformer. The constant voltage transformer stabilizes the input voltage to the
systems by compensating for voltage changes at the primary in order to maintain a
steady voltage at the secondary. When using a constant voltage transformer, check
that the power rating is sufficient to supply the unit.

Listed below are general compatibility issues that apply to the 5012KPM(T) and
5015KPM(T):
•
••
• The KPM(T) monitor must be powered up before the host computer is
powered up so that the host can determine if a keyboard and mouse are
connected. If the KPM(T) monitor is not powered up first, the host will
determine that there is no mouse or keyboard available.
•
••
• Once the complete system is up and running, the KPM(T) monitor can be
power cycled at any time without affecting the host. It is the initial power up
of the host that requires the power up sequence.
•
••
• If an operating system is loaded on the host computer, the KPM(T) monitor
should not be used as the host mouse or keyboard during the loading of the
operating system. Instead, a mouse and keyboard can plug directly into the
host for the loading of an operating system. The KPM(T) monitor can be
used for the monitor only during the loading of the operating system.
•
••
• The IBM specification for PS/2 ports defines both a Type I and Type II
interface. The KPM(T) monitor is a Type II interface. Pro-face has determined
that not all PS/2 compatible devices are Type II compatible. The user can try
any standard PS/2 device, but Pro-face only guarantees the approved list.
•
••
• Non-standard devices should not be used with the KPM(T) monitor. If a
device does not meet the standard PS/2 definition, and does not use the
standard PS/2 driver that comes with the operating system, it will not work
reliably with the KPM(T) monitor. For example, if a device requires its own
separate driver it probably will not work because it was written to expect that
the device would be plugged directly into the computer’s host port. In the
case of the KPM(T) monitor, this is not true.
