We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the unit:•

Position the unit within ±40° of the vertical•

If (a) the unit is not positioned within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, or(c) the unit is used in a location with minimal ventilation, then install an external fan to increase airflow
upwards through the chassis

Important Safety Precaution
Even though the unit is rated to operate within the IEC 60945standard of -15 to 55°C for bridge applications, it
is best to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will significantly increase thelifespan of your unit and reduce service costs.

Hardware Installation and Connection

Placement Notes
Before you install and mount the MD-200 series display, read the following notes:
1. The MD-200 series is designed for various installation or mounting methods, including desktop mounting,panel mounting, and VESA mounting. Refer to the related mechanical drawings in the following sections.
2. Good ventilation is necessary to prolong the life of the unit. The chassis heat-sink area MUST be kept clearof other heat generating items; otherwise, the motherboard may be damaged. The minimum clearance is
150 mm.
3. Allow sufficient space for proper ventilation, cable inlet or wiring installation, and maintenance purposes.
4. Do NOT install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), since the heat from inside the unit will notdissipate effectively, resulting in damage to the LCD panel. We recommend installing the unit in a vertical
position (±30 degrees) for better heat dissipation.
5. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, andunder certain circumstances might cause the temperature to increase beyond the recommended value.
Take this into consideration when planning the placement of bridge equipment (such as sun shades,
distance from the windows, and ventilation).
6. Exposure to strong vibration or acoustic noise might affect functionality and expected lifespan. Duringsystem assembly and installation, make sure that you mount the display carefully to avoid exposure toamplified vibrations.
7. For maximum safety, at least two people should work together to lift, place, and fasten the unit to its
mounting point. Before you lift or move the unit, first verify that any power to the unit is turned off. In
addition, make sure that you have prepared the correct screws for panel mounting.

Installation Notes
Follow these steps when installing the MD-200 series display:
1. Fasten the mounting kit on the display first; then, mount the display.
2. Connect the cables (for example, DVI-D, VGA, and power cord).
3. Power on the MD-200 series display; then, power on the computer.

MD-200 Series Hardware

Hardware Installation and Connection

Panel Mounting
The MD-200 series display comes with 14
optional clamp mounts that enable you to install
the unit onto a wall (where space has been cut
out to accommodate the rest of the hardware)or into computing stations where a flush mountis needed.
For a secure mounting, use all 14 clamps (forMD-226 and MD-224 models) or 10 clamps (forMD-219 models). The clamp arms are fastened
into slots on all four sides of the MD-200 series
display.

To fasten the clamp arms to the MD-224 mounting slots as shown in the following figure, use the short M4 SUS(stainless) screws. Then, use the clamps to fasten the display to its mounting point. Note the torque values
shown in the figure.

VESA Mounting
The MD-200 series also comes with an optional VESA mounting kit. Six flat-headed screws and four roundscrews are required to fasten the VESA mounting bracket. See the following figure for detailed screw
specifications and torque values.
Four additional screws (not included in the kit) are required to mount the unit on a VESA rack. Use M6 screws
with a length between 10 and 12 mm.

ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your MD-200 series display.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings,
the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Take care when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, andconsequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the unit:••

Position the unit within ±40° of the vertical.
Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the unit if (a) the unit is not positioned within±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, or (c) the unit is used in a location withminimal ventilation.

Important Safety Precaution
Even though the unit is rated to operate within the IEC 60945standard of -15 to 55°C for marine applications,
it is best to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will increase the life of yourunit and minimize service costs.

Grounding the MD-200 Series Display
Make sure that you ground the MD-200 series display before powering it on. Grounding and wire routing help
limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the groundscrew to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.

ATTENTION
This unit is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Earth Ground: See the following figure for the location of the earth grounding connector. Connect the
grounding wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.
