Installation Instructions
Preparing for Installation
Important! Perform the following steps BEFORE Installation of the monitor into the
panel.
1. Ensure that sufficient power is available.
2. Ensure that sufficient space is available to allow for proper air flow into and out of
the unit.
3. Ensure that the air temperature around the unit (top and bottom) will not exceed the
rated specifications of the unit.
•The maximum rated temperature of the HIS-ML17 is 50°C (122°F)
•Remember that heat rises – the temperature at the top of the cabinet
will be much hotter than at the bottom when the air is not circulating.
•Also, remember that even though this product is designed to operate
at 50°C, the life span of any electronic device is shortened when it is
consistently operated at high temperatures. Therefore it is wise to take
steps to keep the temperature of the ambient air around the unit as low
as possible.
4. Ensure that the ambient humidity of the air around the unit does not exceed the
rated specifications for the unit.
•The maximum rated humidity for the HIS-ML17 is 90% non-condensing

10
Installation into Panel
1. Refer to the drawing below.
2. Locate position in panel for mounting of the monitor. Ensure that there is adequate
space begin the panel. Allow extra space (0.5 in. behind and on each side) for air
ventilation.
3. Cut a rectangular hole in the panel. Clean and deburr.
Dimensions: 16.02” (406mm) W x 12.72” (323mm) H ; +/- .020”
4. Separate the rear collar from the unit by removing the 12 nuts.
5. Insert the unit into the front of the panel and re-attach the collar.
6. Tighten all
12 nuts to a torque of 24 inch-pounds to assure a water-tight seal be-
tween the poron bezel gasket on the monitor and equipment panel. HIS will not
assume liability for damage to internal electronics due to improper installation.

Touchscreen Driver Installation
The enclosed CD-ROM contains documentation and drivers for all major operating systems.
To be sure you have the most current information, check the following Internet addresses:

Cleaning
CAUTION! DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS SUCH AS PAPER TOWELS OR
DIRTY SHOP RAGS ON THE DISPLAY AS IT WILL SCRATCH THE PROTECTIVE
COATING. ALWAYS USE A SOFT CLOTH, PREFERABLY MADE OF COTTON.
Resistive Touchscreen model
Any standard glass cleaner can be used to clean the touchscreen. Always
spray the glass cleaner on the cloth or towel and then clean the touch-
screen. Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the monitor could possibly leak
inside a non-sealed unit and cause damage.
Vinegar or ammonia will not hurt the touchscreen. Again, spray the cloth and then
clean the touchscreen.
Tempered Anti-Reflective Glass Window
Use any standard glass cleaner as long as there is no abrasive or oily content. The
anti-reflective coatings are physically part of the surface of the glass and resist de-
gradation to the Military Specifications.
Acrylic Window
Monitors with acrylic protective windows can be cleaned in the same manner as the
touchscreen or glass window.

refresh rate of the graphics card to
a compatible resolution
Do you see the “Not Optimum Mode,
Recommended Mode 1280 x 1024 60
Hz” message?
This message displays when the
signal from the computer exceeds
the maximum resolution and fre-
quency that the monitor can handle.
(> 1280x1024 resolution or > 85 Hz
refresh rate)
Adjust the computer to a compatible
resolution and refresh rate.
There is no image on the screen and
the power LED is blinking at 1 second
intervals.
The monitor is in Power Saver
