Installation and Handling Notes

Before installing and mounting the MPC-2240 panel computer, please read the following notes:

1. The MPC-2240 series is designed for mounting on a desktop, wall, or an FDMI/VESA interface. Please

refer to the relevant mechanical drawings in the next few sections for detailed instructions on each method.

2. To prolong product lifespan good ventilation must be maintained around the machinery. The chassis’

heat-sink area MUST keep clear from other heat generating items, otherwise damage to the system

motherboard may occur. The minimal distance that must be maintained between the heat sink and another

heat source is 150 mm.

3. DO NOT install the unit horizontally (i.e.: lying down, on its back), as the heat will not be dissipated

effectively and will damage the LCD panel. To assure adequate heat dissipation the unit should be installed

vertically, or within a ±40 degrees slope off the vertical..

4. 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.)

5. Exposure to strong vibration or loud, chronic noise might affect functionality and/or product lifetime. It is

advised to take vibration and noise into consideration during system assembly and installation, so that the

mount point may be carefully selected to avoid exposure to undue vibration.

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

mount point. Before you lift or move the computer, first verify both it is turned off and no power is being

supplied to the system. In addition, make sure you have prepared the correct screws for the mounting.

Desktop Mounting

The MPC-2240 comes with optional brackets that allow you to install the panel computer on a horizontal surface

such as a desktop. Please keep in mind that desktop mounting is only offered as a temporary mount;

permanent use of the MPC-2240 as a desktop computer is not recommended.

Three round head screws are required for each bracket. See the figure at right for screw specifications and their

torque value.
