the pilot house and are IP-65 waterproof when panel mounted.
Bridge Command MT Series 50 displays handle a wide-range of extreme environments
making them the industry choice for recreational and commercial marine applications.
Housed in a milled billet aluminum case,these displays are light weight and are
designed with a very slim case profile.
We have incorp orated the latest optical engineering to achieve optimal
power efficient, low heat design results in increased reliability and
longevity required for mission critical deployment.

3.0 INSTALLATION
It is important that your new display is installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions provided in this manual. Failure to do so could result in poor product
performance and may invalidate your warranty.
When planning the installation the following points must be considered:
• If temperatures exceed the normal temperature operating range, the display could
overheat and begin to blackout due to the limitations of TFT LCD technology.
• In order to minimize the chances of a malfunction, the following precautions should be
taken during installation:
• The
ventilation (min. 6 inches / 15cm clearance) . If it is possible to cool the area behind
the display, it will significantly reduce the risk of a malfunction.
• The
mounting the display in a flat plane, which increases the surface area exposed to the
sun and leads to increased heat absorption.
IMPORTANT: Your Multi-Touch Series 50 display is only waterproof from the front. To
maintain watertight integrity, the display must be flush mounted ensuring that the rear casing
is enclosed in a watertight enclosure.
Multi-Touch Series 50 displays are designed to be mounted in two configurations:
VESA75 / VESA100 MOUNT
The Bridge Command MT Series 50 displays are compatible with VESA75 and VESA100
mounts. By installing the display with a compatable VESA mount the user can change
the displays angle to improve viewability. Before the display is mounted, power and signal source
should be connected and the display should be held at approximate mounting location to check viewing
angle for satisfactory picture quality.
display should be installed in an area where there is proper and adequate
display should be mounted at an angle to the sun. We do not recommend

Mounting holes built into the back surface of the displays allow them to be mounted
using VESA75 or VESA100 compatible mounts.
PANEL (Flush) MOUNT
For installation, there are four tapped mounting slots on both sides of the monitor and on
the top and bottom. The mounting hardware packet is included with the product accessories
in the shipping box. This packet includes four (4) stainless steel brackets and
four (4) mounting screws. (8 each for the 24 inch model)
The MT Series 50 display can be installed using the mounting brackets (supplied) in the
vertical or horizontal keyways. Make sure that both brackets are installed in the same orientation.
Preparing the installation site
1. Select an installation site that has sufficient space behind it for cable connections
and ventilation.
2. Tape the supplied flush mount template in the required position.
3. Using a jigsaw, carefully remove the shaded portion of the template.
4. Using a suitable file, smooth the edges of the opening.
10

Installing the display
1. Carefully insert the display into the opening so the gasket on the backside
of the bezel edge lays flat against the front edge of the cut out.
IMPORTANT:The gasket must lay flat against the cut out edge to ensure watertight
integrity.
2. Place the mounting bracket lugs into the keyways and move them to the rear, securing
the bracket to the display.
3. Using a suitable screwdriver, tighten the mounting bracket screws to secure the
display in position and compress the gasket.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the mounting screws or gasket can deform and loose waterproof integrity.

Planning the installation
Before you install your display, the following points should be considered:
• Power requirements.
• Display location and mounting options.
Power requirements
Your MT Series 50 display is designed to run on a boat’s DC power system rated at 12 V
or 24 V and is equipped for a 9~36V DC wide range of power input.
The DC power system should be either:
• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the boat’s
ground,
• Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the boat’s ground.
Grounding the display
It is important that an effective radio frequency (RF) ground is connected to the display.
You can ground the display by connecting
a ground wire
to the grounding screw on the back of the display, located near the power connector

on the display end, and

Display location and mounting options
Your display can be mounted using the flush mounting clamps supplied. Green Marine
recommends that you power up and test the display prior to installation.
When planning the display location, the following points should be considered to ensure
safe, comfortable, and reliable operation:
Power connections
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the battery
isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Green Marine recommends that power is
fed directly to the display via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by
a thermal circuit breaker or fuse fitted close to the power connection. If you do not
have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit, you MUST fit an in-line
breaker or fuse to the positive (red) lead of the power cable.
• Installation angle- the MT Series 50 display should be mounted at
an angle. Mounting it
in a flat plane is not recommended due to increased heat absorption.
• Viewing angle - this LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including
viewing angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays vary slightly
with viewing angle.
• Environment - to prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the
display. If the space behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan, it will help in
keeping the displays temperature down when mounted in direct sunlight.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY VENTILATE THE UNIT COULD INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although
the display is waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is good practice
to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt
spray. DO NOT mount the monitor near a heat source.
