Product safety precautions
Read all of these instructions and save this manual for later use. Follow all warnings and
instructions on the product.
• Relative humidity: 25%~80%
• Storage temperature: -20oC to 60oC(-4F to 140F)
• Operation temperature: 0~50oC(32F to 122F)
• Do not cover or block the ventilation holes in the enclosure.
• Do not insert sharp objects or spill liquid into the display through the cabinet slots. This
may cause accidental fire, electric shock or failure.
• Unplug the unit when not in use for an extended period of time.
• Consult a service technician if the display does not operate normally when you have
followed the instructions in this manual.
• Do not attempt to repair this product yourself, always get a qualified service agent carry
out adjustments or repairs.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Use only the power cord supplied with the unit. In case you use another power cord,
make sure that it is certified by the applicable national standards if not being provided
by the supplier. If the power cable is faulty in any way, please contact the manufacturer
or the nearest authorized repair service provider for a replacement.
• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket
outlet is easily accessible after installation.
• Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous. So are frayed power
cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service
technician for replacement.
• Hands must be dry when holding the power plug to avoid an electric shock. Do not
damage the power cord by disassembling, bending, pulling or heating up. It can cause
fire or electric shock.
• Make sure to completely insert the power plug. Insecure connections can cause fire.
• Unplug the display if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be
wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or
ammonia-based liquids.
• Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the
display’s electronics.
• Do not subject the LCD display to severe vibration or high impact conditions.
• Do not place the LCD display in the trunk of a car.
This mark is applied to show the equipment conforms to European safety and
electro-magnetic compatibility standards.

Automatic Power Saving
If you have compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the display can
automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. If an input from a keyboard,
mouse or other input device is detected, the display will 'wake up' automatically.
IMPORTANT:
Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in high
contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an ‘after-image’
or ‘ghost image’ on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by
the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the
after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.
Unpacking
Unpack the package and inspect the items closely to make sure no item is damaged and

Installing
1. Panel mounting
This display panels can be placed on a shelf or table, or mounted onto a control panel. To
mount them onto a control panel you need a kind of mounting kits, which you will find in the
accessory box. Take the mounting steps described here below:
• Set the display panel within the aperture in your control panel
• Slide the mounting kits into the slots on the chassis cover
• Tighten the bolt in the kits until the display panel is firmly secured to the control
It is very important to locate the unit in a suitable environment. Make sure
the place has good ventilation, is out of direct sunlight, away from sources
of excessive dust, dirt, heat, water, moisture and vibration.

Connecting the display
No tools are required to connect the LCD display. Simply follow the instructions outlined in
the next few steps. Connectors for the signal and power are located on the back panel.
1. Connect the display via VGA or DVI
• Connect Signal Cable (VGA): Attached the VGA cable connector with the ferrite bead
closest to it to the graphics card adaptor on your computer system and attached
the other end to the display. Be cautious in inserting the cable properly into both
connectors. If the cable does not fit it may be facing the wrong direction. Turn the cable
over and try to match the shape of the connector with that of the graphics adapter.
• Connect DVI (Digital Video Interface) Cable (Optional): If you have a DVI digital
graphics card adapter and a DVI cable, connect it to the DVI (IN) connector of the
display. The optional DVI graphics adapter and the DVI cable can be ordered by
contacting Aydin Displays.

Note: If for any reason the display goes blank and gives an “out of Range” or “No Input
Signal”, your system source is putting out a signal that is out of range or non
compatible with the LCD’s video A/D board. If this happens, make sure you are
inputting the correct signal. If the display doesn’t work properly, it may be because:
• The resolution is to high or low for the LCD.
• The power source is incorrect.

2. Connect the display via USB cable or RS 232 cable
• Connect Touch Screen Cable (Optional): Connect the optional USB or RS 232 serial
touch screen connection to the driver card or system driving the touch screen controller.
3. Connect power adapter and cable
• Connect Power Adapter and Cable: Connect the round shape plug end of the AC/DC
adapter to the DC Power input connector of the LCD display. Connect the female end
of the power cable to the AC power input receptacle on the AC/DC adapter. Then plug
the male end of the power cable into an AC outlet.

Notes:
• If you are using supplied cables & accessories, ensure they are correct for the model of
panel and controller.
• If you are making your own cables & connectors refer carefully to both the panel &
inverter specifications and the section in this manual, “Connectors, Pinouts & Jumpers”
to ensure the correct pin to pin wiring.
