KNOWLEDGE - QUALITY - ECONOMY
Introduction to Jakob Hatteland Display AS
Founded in 1987, Jakob Hatteland Display (JHD), based in Norway, offers the widest range of
type approved marine monitors, panel computers and type approved marine computers for the
worldwide commercial, naval, yacht and cruise market.
Today the group develops and manufactures a complete range of IEC 60945 tested marine
monitors, panel computers and IEC 60945 tested marine computers.
Approved Marine Displays (MMD/STD)
Hatteland Display’s marine monitors are based on high quality and state-of-the-art components
with the highest specifications, and meet all requirements for harsh maritime use. The displays
are easily integrated into your system, due to standardized products and features.
The MMD (Maritime Multi Display) series consists of sizes ranging from 10in to 23in.
Specifically designed for navigation and automation systems on ships, these certified LCD
monitors comply to IP66 described in IEC 60925, are tested according to IEC 60945 and are
approved by major classification societies such as ABS, BV, ClassNK, DNV, GL and LR.
Further to this marine standard, the 19in MMD, the 20in MMD and the 23in MMD
marine monitors are also available as ECDIS and ARPA radar-compliant units.
Approved Marine Panel Computers (MMC)
The combination of the reliable design of the marine TFT-LCD modules, together with industrial
computer boards, allows Hatteland Display to offer a product range for customer applications
where space is critical and full function is desired in a single unit. In particular, the standardized
ETX-board form factor allows full flexibility when it comes to processor choice. Because of
multiple useful standard components we can offer a highly attractive commercial package
The MMC (Maritime Multi Computer) series consist of sizes ranging from 10in to 23in.
These products have also been designed for typical marine applications in navigation,
automation and other systems. Following Hatteland’s philosophy, these marine panel computers
are fully tested according to IEC 60945 and are designed for type approval.
Approved stand-alone and rack-mounted marine computers
Two concepts are followed to offer variation in size, function and expansion slots for customers:
approved black-box computers for limited space and approved computers for standard
19in racks, which offer a high degree of expansion. Configurations according to customer
wishes are implicit, such as the operating system, CD-burner, RAM, graphic card, HD, add-on
cards, factory installed software and many, many more.

Installation
Installation and mounting of computers
1. Most of our units are intended for various methods of installation or mounting
(rack mounting, panel mounting, bracket mounting, ceiling/wall mounting)
2. Adequate ventilation is a necessary prerequisite for the life of the unit. The air inlet and outlet
openings must denitely be kept clear; coverings which restrict ventilation are not permissible.
3. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and
might under certain circumstances lead to overtemperature. This point should already be taken
into consideration when the bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the
windows, ventilation, etc.)
4. Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating procedures and for
maintenance, must be provided.
5. To further improve the cooling of the unit we recommend installing Cooling Fans underneath
blowing upwards into the unit air inlet. This may be required in high temperature applications
and also when there is reason to expect temperature problems due to non-optimal way of
mounting (Ref.2-5).
General mounting instructions
- The useful life of the components of all Electronics Units generally decreases with increasing
ambient temperature; it is therefore advisable to install such units in air-conditioned rooms. If there
are no such facilities, these rooms must at least be dry, adequately ventilated and kept at a
suitable temperature in order to prevent the formation of condensation inside the unit.
- With most Electronic Units, cooling takes place via the surface of the casing. The cooling must not
be impaired by partial covering of the unit or by installation of the unit in a conned cabinet.
- In the area of the wheel house, the distance of each electronics unit from the magnetic standard
compass or the magnetic steering compass must not be less than the permitted magnetic
protection distance. This distance is measured from the centre of the magnetic system of the
compass to the nearest point on the corresponding unit concerned.
- Transportation damage, even if apparently insignicant at rst glance, must immediately be
examined and be reported to the freight carrier. The moment of setting-to-work of the equipment
is too late, not only for reporting the damage but also for the supply of replacements.
Cables
Use only high quality shielded signal cables. For RGB/DVI cables use only cables with separate
coax for Red, Green and Blue. We can supply a varity of high quality RGB/DVI, RS232,
PARALLEL, LAN and USB cables intended for this use.

Basic Trouble-shooting
COMMON ERRORS: (Applies for Display products and Panel / Maritime / Rack Computers)
If for some reason there should be something wrong with the picture quality or no picture present,
check the symptoms carefully and try to cure it with the hints below:
NO PICTURE / LED BEHAVIOUR:
If there is no light at all in the LED at the FRONT, check power cables. If the LED in front is green
then check if the brightness knob is turned to the right (max brightness). If still no picture, check
if there is a VGA signal on the External VGA connector. If you have a picture on the external VGA
connector please look in BIOS documentation/chapter for correct display settings in BIOS.
Lack of image is most likely to be caused by incorrect connection, lack of power, or wrong BIOS
settings.
SCROLLING / UNSTABLE IMAGE:
Signal cable may not be completely connected to computer or TFT display.
Check the pin assignments and signal timings of the display and your video card with respect to
recommended timing and pin assignments. Make sure that the video card is compatible and that it
is properly seated / installed on the computer.
DISPLAY AREA IS NOT CENTERED / SIZED CORRECTLY
Make sure that a supported video mode has been selected on the display, or on the
video card / system. If it is impossible to position the image correctly, ie the image adjustment
controls will not move the image far enough, then test it again using another graphics card for the
PC system. This situation can occur with a custom graphics card that is not close to standard
timings or if something is in the graphics line that may be affecting the signal, such as a signal
splitter (please note that normally a signal splitter will not have any adverse effect).
If it is impossible to change to the correct resolution/color depth, check if you have the right VGA
driver installed in your system.
IMAGE APPEARANCE:
A faulty TFT panel can have black lines, pixel errors, failed sections, ickering or ashing image.
Incorrect graphics card refresh rate, resolution or interlaced mode will probably cause the image
to be the wrong size, it may scroll, icker badly or possibly even no image is present. Sparkling on
the display may be a faulty TFT panel signal cable.
CONTINUED FAILURE:
If unit after unit keeps failing, consider and investigate whether you are short circuiting the
equipment or doing something else seriously wrong.
DEW CONDENSATION BEHIND GLASS:
Power on the TFT product and set brightness to 100%. Turn off any automatic screensavers on
PC or similar. During minutes the dew will be gone. To speed up the process, use a fan heater for
a reasonable time. Do not overheat the TFT product.
