2.1 Suggestions for DC power connection
The DC power source should be able to be switched off and on via an isolating switch. The unit is only
completely disconnected from the DC main power source, when the DC power cord is disconnected
either from the power source or the unit. Therefore, the DC power cord and its connectors must always
remain within reach.
2.2 Suggestions for AC power connection via external AC/DC adapter
The main power cable of the optional external AC/DC adapter serves as disconnecting device. For this
reason the outlet of the AC power source must be located near the device and be within reach.
Never place the unit under direct sunlight, near heat sources or in a humid place. Make sure the unit
has proper ventilation.
All plugs on the connection cables must be screwed or locked to the housing.
The Marine Rugged Display Computer, designed to be used in upright position with the I/O
interfaces downwards.
The unit generates heat under natural operation therefore it should be properly ventilated. Never
cover up the air intake and exhaust openings of the unit. Do not impede the fins of the heat sink.
Repairs may only be operated by specialists or technicians qualified and authorized by American
Industrial Systems, Inc.
Maintenance or repair on the open unit may only be operated by specialists or technicians qualified and
authorized by American Industrial Systems, Inc. who are familiar with the related hazards.
When accessing the internal components, users must switch off the unit and disconnect it from the
power source.
Only original accessories (or suggested optional parts) approved and supplied by American Industrial
Systems, Inc. can be used.
Assumption of safe operation is no longer possible:
-If the unit has obvious damage or
-If the unit no longer functions accordingly.
Under such cases the unit must be shut down and secured against any unintended operation.
2.3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can damage electrostatic-sensitive devices or circuit.
Adequate packaging and grounding techniques are essential fundamentals to avoid damage. The
following precautions should be always taken:
1. Deliver printed circuit boards in electrostatic-safe containers such as cartons, boxes or anti-static
bags.
2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they reach an electrostatic-free station.
3. Follow adequate grounding when sensitive PCB’s, components, or assemblies are in close vicinity
of the unit.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive PCB's in a protective packaging such as insulating foam.
2.4 Grounding Methods
Protect against electrostatic damage of the unit by taking the following preventative measures:
1. Cover workstations with approved anti-electrostatic material.

American Industrial Systems – Marine Rugged Display Computer User Guide Page 8
2. In order to guarantee that the operator is grounded, provide a wrist strap connected to the working
bench.
3. Properly ground tools and equipment.
4. For extra protection use anti-electrostatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers.
5. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, PCB's, and assemblies with care nearby the case or the
edge of the board.
6. Prevent contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
7. Switch off power and input signals before plugging and removing connectors or testing equipment.
8. Keep the work area free from non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.
9. Use field service tools with conductivity, such as screwdrivers, pliers, and vacuum cleaners.
10. Always put drives, PCB’s, and the like with the component-side down on the working bench.
2.5 FCC Statement

5.0 Basic Construction
The state of the art modulated technology can integrate all marine display components flexibly.

American Industrial Systems – Marine Rugged Display Computer User Guide Page 13
6.0 Touch Screen Solution
6.1 Introduction to Five-Wire Resistive Touch Screen
The five-wire resistive touchscreens use a glass panel with a uniform resistive coating. A thick polyester
coversheet is tightly suspended over the top of the glass, separated by small, transparent insulating dots.
The coversheet has a hard, durable coating on the outer side and a conductive coating on the inner side.
When the screen is touched, the conductive coating makes electrical contact with the coating on the glass.
The voltages produced are the analog representation of the position touched. The controller digitizes these
voltages and transmits them to the computer for processing. The five-wire technology utilizes the bottom
substrate for both X and Y-axis measurements. The flexible coversheet acts only as a voltage-measuring
probe. This means the touchscreen will continue working properly even with non-uniformity in the cover
sheet's conductive coating. The result is an accurate, durable and reliable touchscreen that offers drift free
operation. The touchscreens are sealed against contamination and moisture. The coversheet is sealed to
the glass substrate with an industrial grade caulk. This prevents wicking of fluid between the coversheet
and glass. Also, the touchscreens are not air vented, thereby preventing fluid ingress through an air vent.

black bolts with nuts.
Step 2. Use M4x 15mm bolts to drill through the fixture into the mounting holes on the rear side of the
IP65 front bezel. (The quantity of mounting screws is based the size of your specific monitor) .

American Industrial Systems – Marine Rugged Display Computer User Guide Page 16
Step 3. Check the finished mounting concept. (DNV certification approved)
** Please Note: The VESA and wall mount with the mounting kit is available by special request.

American Industrial Systems – Marine Rugged Display Computer User Guide Page 17
7.2 VESA Wall Mount Installation
This monitor conforms to the VESA Flat Panel Mounting Physical Mounting Interface standard which
defines a physical mounting interface for flat panel monitors. It also corresponds with the standards of flat
panel monitor mounting devices, such as walls and table arms. The VESA mounting interface is located
on the back of your monitor.
To mount the monitor on an UL-listed certified swing arm or other mounting fixture, follow the
instructions included with the mounting fixture to be used.

8.0 LCD Display Operation
8.1 Input/output Signals Overview
The Marine Rugged Display Computer is designed with versatile video input / output functions. 10.4 inch
to 24 inch displays can use VGA, DVI, S-Video and Composite inputs. These displays can also support
PIP (picture in picture) multi-scan function fulfilling the maritime multi-function demand.
**Please Note: Some connectors are optional depending on the customer’s demands.
Power input (DC Version / AC Version)
Default DC terminal block power source input’s compact design meets the maritime industry requisites.
The terminal block is to be secured so that the cable does not disconnect from the terminal.
AC Standard 90V to 265V power input is also available for AC version options. Use standard power
cords to connect to the AC power inlet.
RS232 serial port for touch and remote control connection
Connect Standard D-SUB 9pin connector from your system to the monitor to control the touchscreen. Be
sure the appropriate touch driver is installed.
The other function for the remote control should depend on your own application software built into the
RS232 command code. This function makes it easy to control the LCD monitor through own PC via
RS232 port connection.
VGA port connection
Use the D-SUB 15-pin (Male) VGA signal cable to the VGA connector at the rear of the PC system, and
plug the other end to the TFT LCD display. Fasten the cable connectors with screws.
