InView Marquee Message Display 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 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
InView Marquee Message Display 3 Wiring and Safety Guidelines Install the InView display conforming to NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces. In addition to the NFPA general guidelines, refer to the following: Careful cable routing helps minimize electrical noise. Route incoming power to the module by a separate path from the communication cables. TIP WARNING Do not run communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit. SHOCK HAZARD • Maintain separation of circuits.

InView Marquee Message Display Mount the 2706-P92C and 2706-P94C Displays 1. Attach the two sign brackets to a wall, ceiling, or other surface. Be sure to place the brackets so the bracket flanges face appropriately as shown below. Mount the brackets the following distance apart (measured from the center of the mounting holes in each bracket): Mounted so flanges are hidden behind the sign. 2706-P92C:103.0 cm (40.55 in.) 2706-P94C: 194.4 cm (76.55 in.) Mounted so flanges show on the sides of the sign.

Ceiling Wall End View, Wall/Ceiling Mounted TIP Desired Viewing Angle Hole Keep a minimum 2.54 cm (1.0 in.) clearance on all sides of the sign for adequate ventilation. Back-to-back Mounting 1. Attach the brackets to the sign in the ceiling mount position. Use the hex bolts supplied.
InView Marquee Message Display Connect the 2706-P92C and 2706-P94C Displays WARNING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE • Contact with high voltage may cause death or serious injury. Always disconnect power to sign prior to servicing. • Maintain Separation of circuits. Route the incoming power directly to the power connection terminal block. • Do not run the power wiring over the logic board or optional Legacy Communication board. 1.

Insert the wires into the appropriate terminal connection and tighten the screw to 0.79 N•m (7 lb•in). The terminal block is UL rated for wire ranges of 14 to 8 AWG.
InView Marquee Message Display 5. Connect the incoming communication wires per the tables below. ATTENTION Use shielded Ethernet cable. Shielded Ethernet cable is required to maintain noise immunity. The 2706-P Cable1 is used for downloading messages only and must be removed after downloading is complete. TB2 is used for supplying power to the optional InView Legacy Communication board kit.

Carefully close the front of the sign case and turn the half-turn latches to the right with a large screwdriver.
InView Marquee Message Display Dip Switch Information There are two dip switches located on the controller board, Switch 1 and Switch 2. Switch 2 Switch 1 Switch 1 Switch 1 is used to configure the display - RS485 echo enable, baud rate settings, and display size. • Position 1 enables or disables the echo function. Enabling the RS485 echo function allows any packets that come in on COM 0 (download, RJ-12 port), COM 1 (RS-232, TB3 port), and the Ethernet TCP/IP port to be sent out the RS485 port.
InView Marquee Message Display 13 Switch 2 Switch 2 is used to set the serial address of the display. Position 1 is the LSB of the address and position 8 is the MSB of the address. • If position 1 is on and all other positions are off, the display address will be 1. • If position 8 is on and all other positions are off, the display address will be 128. • If all positions are set to off, the serial address can be set using the InView Messaging software.
InView Marquee Message Display attached to the internal mounting plate. See publication 2706-IN015 for more information on how to install the board kit. PEM Spacers Compact Flash Card This product uses a Type I Compact Flash Card for message file storage. 2706-P9x Temperature Protection InView P92C and P94C signs have automatic temperature controls that help to protect the sign from damage when the internal temperature of the sign is too hot to continue normal operation.
InView Marquee Message Display TIP 15 Take into account the effects of ambient temperature when evaluating mounting locations for the sign. You should always maintain recommended clearance distances around the sign and avoid poorly ventilated mounting locations that could be subject to radiation, convection, conduction or other thermal transfer effects.
