This Monitor has been designed to provide optimum performance and
service without any required scheduled maintenance other than occasional cleaning.
Display Screen Cleaning
• A vinegar-based cleaner is preferred to prevent streaking and degradation of the
coatings, or
• A non-abrasive glass cleaner such as a professional foam glass cleaner
• Apply the cleaning solution to a soft clean cloth, dampening slightly
• Keep a fresh side of the cleaning cloth towards the screen surface to avoid
scratching it with accumulated grit, and
• To minimize the risk of abrasion to the screen, air drying is recommended.
Disconnect cabling from the Touch Screen Display before cleaning. A Touch Screen
Display will be activated by cleaning the Display. This may create a potentially
dangerous condition.
Optional Touch Screen Cleaning
• Use a special screen cleaning tissue or a solution specically formulated for
antistatic coatings. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, or
• Lightly dampen a soft clean cloth with water or a general purpose mild detergent
solution
• Keep a fresh side of the cleaning cloth towards the screen surface to avoid
scratching it with accumulated grit, and
• To minimize the risk of abrasion to the screen, air drying is recommended.
Monitor Enclosure
• Clean the unit enclosure with a soft clean cloth lightly dampened with a
general purpose mild detergent solution
• To rinse, wipe down with clean water, and
• Dry with a soft clean cloth.
Optional Touch Screen
PRODUCT CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Product Care
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvent-based (ammable) cleaners on the
Flat Panel or Touch Screen Display, its enclosure or any other electrical de-
vice (cables, power cord, etc)
• Do not use paper products as they may scratch the Display screen, and
• Do not directly apply cleaning solutions to the Display screen.
Turn o the Monitor power before cleaning the Monitor, optional Touch Screen
or unit’s enclosure.
warning!
caution!
warning!
In marine or similar environments,
an added benet of a vinegar-based
cleaner is its eectiveness in
dissolving salt deposits.

a point where the ball can be removed from the arm, or
• For Flush or Panel Mount units, cover the product with a protective covering that
shall not scratch or transfer any dyes to the Display screen.

INSTALLATION
The display is designed to be mounted with a universal ball-and-socket mounting
kit, in a Flat Panel or optional Flush Mount conguration.
Optional Pedestal Mount
The display can be supplied with a RAM® universal ball-and-socket system mounting
kit (Figure 2). By installing the Monitor with this kit, the user can quickly adjust the
viewing angle to improve viewability in changing environments. This ball-and-socket
system has proven to be successful in supporting an extreme amount of weight in
high vibration and dicult-mount applications.
Locate the ball-and-socket system in the shipping box. The kit consists of two RAM
balls on mounting plates and a RAM arm, with an adjustable T-knob and a packet of
three (3) M4x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws for mounting to the display.
Figure 2
Figure 3 Figure 4
Mounting Holes

150-7000-001 7
There are three mounting holes in the back of the Monitor for the ball mounting plate.
Take care not to strip the screw holes or over tighten. (Figure 4)
• Line up one of the ball mounting plates on these three holes (Figure 4)
• With three (3) M4x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws attach this mounting plate to
the back of the display.
• Mount the second ball mounting plate where the Monitor shall be installed
• Insert each ball into the RAM arm
• Lightly tighten the arm around the balls using the T-knob on the arm (Figure 2, 4)
• Adjust the Monitor to the viewing preference, and
• Tighten the T-knob to hold the Monitor in position.
It is recommended the remaining ball be mounted on a at surface. Because of the
various surface substrates the Monitor shall be mounted on, the installer shall provide
the screws to mount the other ball.
Panel Mount
The mounting hardware packet is included with the unit accessories in the shipping
box. This packet includes four (4) threaded screws (approximately 7.6 cm [3”] long),
four (4) Nylock nuts and four (4) at washers. For installation, there are four tapped
mounting holes on the four corners of the unit’s rear panel.
