Chapter 2 - Installation of Monitor This monitor is intended to be mounted in and used where NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 type enclosures are employed. Enclosures made of heavier gauge metal work better because they won’t deform or bend as easily when the monitor’s sealing gasket is compressed. The monitor meets NEMA 4/12 sealing specifications when properly installed in an approved NEMA enclosure constructed from 14gauge or heavier steel.

Connecting Power The M1500 monitor is powered from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz or optionally from 24 VDC. Damage will occur if 100-240 VAC power is connected to an M1500 equipped with the 24 VDC input power option. M1500’s equipped with the 24 VDC option will have a “-24” suffix in their model number such as M1500-24 or M1500T-24.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOW TO BE FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS. Connection of VGA and Touch Screen Cables Connect either a 15-pin VGA or DVI-D cable and either an RS-232 or USB cable if the monitor is equipped with a touch screen. All communication cables should include a chassis ground shield. Hazardous location, Division 2, requires that all cables have adequate strain relief.
