Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Installing the 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor 5 This section describes how to install the monitor.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor • Determine the minimum and maximum ambient humidity for the monitor by consulting the specification sheets at the back of this manual. 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.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor 7 Panel Mounting Guidelines Observe the following precautions before installing the unit in a panel: • Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel. Remember to allow extra space (0.5 in. or 12.7 mm) for air circulation. A cabinet with a minimum depth of 3.3 in. (84 mm) is sufficient. • Take precautions so that metal cuttings do not enter any components that are already installed in the panel.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Dimensions This section provides diagrams you need to follow to install the unit. Figure 2 Dimensions (Front View) Figure 3 Dimensions (Side View) Publication 6185-5.

Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Panel Mounting Procedure 1. Cut and drill the panel (refer to following figure). Units are in mm [inches]. Note: Use #10-32 or M5 self-locking nuts for mounting. Figure 5 Panel Mounting Cutout 2. If access to the side of the monitor is not available following installation, attach the power and video cables to the side of the monitor at this time. 3. Install the monitor in the prepared cutout. Refer to the figure on this page. 4.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor 11 5. Tighten all mounting bolts evenly to a torque of 24 inch-pounds. ATTENTION: Mounting nuts must be tightened to a torque of 24 inch-pounds to provide panel seal and avoid potential damage. Rockwell Automation assumes no responsibility for water or chemical damage to the monitor or other equipment within the enclosure due to improper installation. Publication 6185-5.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Connecting the 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor The side panel of the 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor has connectors for attaching cables to accomplish the following: • Connecting to a host video source (HD-15 VGA connector) • Connecting to a host touchscreen control port (DB-9 connector) (optional) • Connecting to AC power (IEC connector) or DC power (terminal block) Note: Some connectors on your monitor may differ from the following figure.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor 13 Connecting the Video Source The video connection to the host is made through a HD-15 (female) connector located on the side panel. Note: For more information on using an HD-15 video cable to connect to the host computer, refer to Appendix B (Page 27). To establish a signal using the HD-15 connector: 1. Obtain a shielded, properly terminated video cable of length as short as possible.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Connecting AC Power The 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor requires a single phase power supply providing 85 to 264V AC at 47 to 70 Hz. Power must be available at a grounded three-pin outlet located nearby. Whenever possible, connect the monitor to the same AC source that supplies the computer. To connect AC power to the monitor: 1. Turn off the main switch or breaker. 2.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor 15 Connecting DC Power The 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor requires a DC power supply providing 18 to 32V DC. To connect DC power to the monitor: 1. Turn off the main switch or breaker. 2. Use the ground terminal of the monitor (below the power, video and T/S connectors) to establish a chassis-to-earth ground connection. Secure one end of a ground strap to the ground terminal. Connect the other end of the ground strap to a good earth ground.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Initial Video Setup The 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor is configured at the factory, but typically requires initial adjustments to ensure the best screen image. Rockwell Automation provides the Flat Panel Monitor Adjustment Utility with each flat panel monitor to assist you in adjusting the monitor settings.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor 17 Adjusting Settings Use these instructions to adjust the video settings to achieve the best screen image. Note: For more information on the location and operation of the controls on the monitor, refer to Page 20. Step 1 - Start the Adjustment Utility 1. Insert the diskette which was provided with the monitor in the floppy drive of the host computer 2. Start the Flat Panel Monitor Adjustment utility using the instructions on the diskette label.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Step 4 - Adjust the vertical position 1. Press and hold the V button on the back panel of the monitor until the Fault Active Indicator begins to blink (red). 2. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the vertical screen position. 3. To exit this mode and save the new position, quickly press the V button. To exit without saving, press the Rst button. Step 5 - Adjust the clock phase Use the Clk control to adjust the clock phase of the monitor to match the video clock rate.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Operating the 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor 19 This section describes how to operate the 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor. You can adjust the monitor attributes using the controls on the back panel. Power Indicator A tri-color LED is provided on the front panel to indicate various operating modes. The following table describes the functions assigned to the default LED, which is a single light that can be green, amber, or red.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Controls The 6185-A Flat Panel Monitor is equipped with eight user controls and two LED indicators on the rear panel. Note: For more information on adjusting controls to achieve the best screen image, refer to Page 16. Figure 8 Controls on Back Panel Publication 6185-5.

Fault Indicator (F) Indicates system “Fault” (steady) or video adjustment mode (blinking). Red LED. Clock Adjust (Clk) Adjusts the clock phase of the monitor to best match to the video clock rate. Reset (Rst) Resets and reinitializes the monitor controller.
Industrial 10.4" Flat Panel Monitor Routine Maintenance Cleaning Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth dampened (not soaked) with a mild (non-abrasive) glass cleaner. Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to avoid scratching it with accumulated grit. Note: The solvent should be applied only to the cloth, and not directly on the monitor screen. Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface.
