Installing the MC-5150-AC/DC

Wall or Cabinet Mounting

The MC-5150-AC/DC has been pre-installed with two brackets on both ends of the computer. Use two screws

per side to attach the MC-5150-AC/DC to a wall or cabinet.

Use two screws for each bracket and attach the bracket to the rear of the MC-5150-AC/DC.

Wiring Requirements

This section describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.

You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any

electronic device:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must

cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE

Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid

interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The

rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your

MC-5150-AC/DC.

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!

Be careful when handlin

g the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the

internal components generate heat, and

consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
