European Union Compliance
The RAC6180 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
ATTENTION: The RAC6180 Industrial Computer is
intended to operate in an industrial or control room
environment, which utilizes some form of power isolation
from the public low voltage mains. Some configurations
may not comply with the EN 61000-3-2 Harmonic
Emissions standard as specified by the EMC Directive of
the European Union. Obtain permission from the local
power authority before connecting any configuration that
draws more than 75 watts of AC power directly from the
public mains.
Environmental Considerations
Mount the RAC6180 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 RAC6180 must be maintained between 5° and
50°C (41° to 122°F). The RAC6180 is intended for use in Pollution
Degree 2 environments.
Make sure you provide provisions for accessing the back and side panels
of the RAC6180 to install and remove components.

The RAC6180 must be mounted in a vertical position as illustrated in this
manual. Installing the RAC6180 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
RAC6180 will not meet UL 1950 standards for
flammability containment.

Tools Required
In addition to the tools required to make the cutout, you will need the
following tools:
• 3/8 inch socket
• 14 inch (36 cm) extension rod (minimum)
• Socket driver (in/lb torque wrench recommended)
• 7/32 hex wrench
• Ruler
Mounting Clearances
Allow adequate space for mounting, air flow, and maintenance. Figure 1
on the following page shows recommended minimum clearances to other
components within the rack or enclosure.
ATTENTION: The RAC6180 should not be operated
within a confined space of the dimensions shown below
unless adequate ventilation or other cooling methods are
used to lower the air temperature within the enclosure.
