1.0 INTRODUCTION
About Green Marine AWM Series II Displays
Green Marine AWM Series II marine displays are equipped with optically bonded
AR glass and are specifically engineered to survive the most demanding applications.
You will soon become familiar with the quality difference in this bright, sunlight
readable (0 to 1,000 nits) display.
The range of AWM Series II Marine Displays has been developed to be used as part
of an integrated marine navigation system or within an entertainment system.
The displays, available in 15” and 19” sizes, are suitable for use on the flybridge or in
the pilot house and are IP-65 waterproof from the front when panel mounted.
The AWM Series II 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, AWM displays are light weight and are
designed with a very slim case profile. Front-mounted controls and a dimming knob insure
these displays are user-friendly. We have incorp orated the latest optical engineering to
achieve optimal viewability in all lighting conditions, including direct sunlight. The
AWM Series' power efficient, low heat design results in increased reliability and
longevity required for mission critical deployment.
This manual contains important information on the installation, operation and
maintenance of your Green Marine AWM Series II marine display(s).

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:
• Your AWM II display is sunlight viewable and visible in direct sunlight..
• 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 display should be installed in an area where there is proper and adequate
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 display should be mounted at an angle to the sun. We do not recommend
mounting the unit in a flat plane, which increases the surface area exposed to the
sun and leads to increased heat absorption.
IMPORTANT: Your AWM Series II 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.
The AWM Series II marine display is designed to be mounted in two configurations:
VESA75 / VESA100 MOUNT
Green Marine AWM Series II marine 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.

Mounting holes built into the back surfaceof the display allow it to be mounted
by rear mount using VESA75 or VESA100 compatible mounts.
PANEL (Flush) MOUNT
For installation, there are four tapped mounting slots on both sides of the display
The mounting hardware packet is included with the product accessories in the
shipping box. This packet includes four (4) stainless steel threaded studs and
four (4) mounting lock nuts.
AWM Series II displays can be installed using the mounting lock nuts (supplied) in the
vertical 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.

and on the top and bottom.

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. Do not over tighten mounting screws.
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
monitor in position and compress the gasket.
NOTE: If console is thicker than 6/16 inch (10mm), caps on the ends of the screws may be
removed to provide additional clearance

Planning the installation
Before you install your display, the following points should be considered:
• Power requirements.
• Display location and mounting options.
• Additional accessories, e.g. keyboard or speakers.
Power requirements
Your Sunlight Viewable display is designed to run on boat’s DC power systems rated at 12 V
or 24 V. Your AWM Series II display 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
the ground wire (gray) of the power input
cable to the grounding screw on the back of the display located near the power connector
the nearest ground point of the boat's RF ground system on the other end.

Display location and mounting options
Your display can be mounted using the flush mounting clamps supplied. Green Marine
recommends that you power the unit and select a suitable mounting location prior to
installing the display.
When planning the display location, the following points should be considered to ensure
safe, comfortable, and reliable operation:
• Convenience- the mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of
the front control buttons and should enable easy viewing of the display.
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 AWM II 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 unit’s 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 display near a heat source.
