Installation Instructions
Preparing for Installation
Important! Perform the following steps BEFORE Installation of the moni-
tor 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 ex-
ceed the rated specifications of the unit.
The maximum rated temperature of the HIS-ML12 is 50 ° C (122 ° F)
Remember that heat rises – the temperature at the top of the cabi-
net will be much hotter than at the bottom when the air is not cir-
culating.
Also, remember that even though this product is designed to oper-
ate 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-ML15 is 90% non-
condensing

Installation into Panel
1. Refer to the drawing below.
2. Locate position in panel for mounting of the monitor. Assure 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: 12.12” (308mm) W x 10.35” (263mm) H ; +/- .020”
4. Separate the rear collar from the unit by removing the 8 nuts.
5. Insert the unit into the front of the panel and re-attach the collar.
6. Tighten all 8 nuts to a torque of 24 inch-pounds to assure a water-tight
seal between the poron bezel gasket on the monitor and equipment panel.
HIS will not assume liability for damage to internal electronics due to
improper installation.

Cleaning
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 touchscreen. 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 con-
tent. The anti-reflective coatings are physically part of the surface of the
glass and resist degradation to the Military Specifications.
Acrylic Bezel
The acrylic front bezel can be cleaned in the same manner as the touch-
screen or glass window.

•Unplug the power adapter to monitor, then plug it in again.
•Press monitor power button again.
•Reset the monitor to the original factory setting.
•Press “Auto” button.
Unstable Screen
•Press the “Auto” button.
•Make sure the PC display resolution is not set greater than 800x600
at 75hz.
•Make sure the PC display resolution matches one of the factory pre-
set timings in this manual.
•Change the PC display resolution to 800x600 at 60hz.
•Reset the monitor to the factory setting.
•Press the “Auto” button.
Screen is not perfect
•Make sure the PC display resolution matches one the factory preset
timings shown in this manual.
