Installation

This chapter describes installation of the 6180 Computer including how
to:

install the 6180 Computer in a rack

install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting studs

install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting clips

change the voltage input setting

The 6180 Computer meets the European Union Directive requirements
when installed within the European Union or EEA regions and has the
CE mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the
Rockwell Automation / Allen–Bradley Internet site: www.ab.com

Mount the 6180 Computer in a panel or enclosure to protect the internal
circuitry. Versions with a gasketed bezel meet NEMA Type 1, 12, 13
and 4/4X (indoor use) and IEC IP54, IP65 only when mounted in a panel
or enclosure having an equivalent rating. The No Display, Metal Bezel
(NDM) version has a NEMA Type 1 and IEC IP2X rating.

Allow enough room within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. Also
consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient
temperature around the 6180 Computer must be maintained between 5

°

and 50

°

C (41

°

to 122

°

F). The 6180 Computer is intended for use in

Pollution Degree 2 environments.

Make sure you provide provisions for accessing the back and side panels
of the 6180 Computer to install and remove components.

The 6180 Computer must be mounted in a vertical position as illustrated
in this manual. Installing the 6180 Computer in any other orientation
may result in overheating due to improper airflow.

ATTENTION: The bottom of the chassis has a knockout
panel. This knockout was provided for special
applications with other Allen–Bradley products. Do not
remove this knockout. If the knockout is removed, the
6180 Computer will not meet UL 1950 standards for
flammability containment.
