Placement Notes

Before installing and mounting the MPC-2150 panel computer, please read the following notes:

1. The MPC-2150 series is designed for various installation or mounting methods, for example: wall mounting,

and VESA mounting. Please refer to the relevant mechanical drawings in the next sections before

attempting to mount the panel.

2. It is advised that good ventilation is necessary to prolong the computer’s lifespan. The chassis’ heat-sink

area MUST be kept clear from other heat generating items, as this may damage the system motherboard.

The minimal distance is 150 mm.

3. Allow sufficient physical space for proper ventilation, cable connectors, wiring passage, and pracitcal

maintenance purposes.

4. DO NOT install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), as the heat inside of the unit is not dissipated

effectively and will damage the LCD panel. It is recommended to install 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, and

under certain circumstances might lead to overheating. Please take this point into consideration when the

bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows, ventilation, etc.)

6. Exposure to strong vibration or acoustic noise might affect the functionality and expected lifetime of the

computer. Take consideration of these factors during system assembly and installation, to ensure the

mounting position avoids exposure to strong vibrations.

7. For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place, and fasten the computer to its

mounting point. Before you lift or move the computer, first verify the computer is disconnected from any

power source, and turned off. In addition, make sure you have prepared the correct screws for a wall

mounting.
