Image sticking: If the monitor is operated with static images (logo’s etc) it will inevitably lead to
images sticking on the display (like on old CRT’s). This is not a permanently situation and can be
removed by operating the monitor with a completely black screen.

1Features
Congratulations on your purchase of a DuraMON. This short form manual is designed to get you
started working with your new DuraMON.
The DuraMON series of monitors are all made as rugged monitors especially designed for the
demanding operating conditions at sea.
The DuraMON series are tested for full compliance to marine-standards IACS E10 and IEC 60945.
The monitor comes with excellent brightness and contrast levels that, together with wide viewing
angles, ensure a good readability thus making it very eye-friendly. For the best picture quality,
always use a double shielded cable with ferrites, like the one supplied with the monitor.
Direct dimming control (0-100%) from UP/DOWN buttons.
Full settings control via menu or serial link.
Picture in picture function, scalable on the screen.
Anti-glare coated glass.
IP65 protection and liquid resistant front.
Multiple connections to cover the widest range of signal sources:
DVI-D (optional two)
RGB (optional two)
RGB out (optional)
S-Video (optional)
Composite (optional)
Firmware update via RS232
Resistant to most chemicals
Optional Touch Screen available, but has to be ordered with the monitor (not part of the IEC 60945
approval).
Optional Speaker available, but has to be ordered with the monitor.

2General considerations on Installation and
Operation
The DuraMON is designed to work at conditions according to IEC 60945. However, keeping the
temperature and vibration level at a minimum will extend the life time of the product. ISIC
recommend operating this product at normal room temperature (20-25 °C), with the lowest level of
vibration and humidity.
Installation of the DuraMON
In order to obtain the best possible operating conditions, please note the following precautions.
-Room for cooling.
When designing the cabinet/console for the DuraMON, please ensure that air can flow
freely around the cabinet, in order to avoid any unnecessary rise in temperature. If it is
not possible to have an adequate natural airflow, use a fan to force the airflow to be
higher.
-Mounting positions
To obtain adequate cooling by convection ISIC recommends that the DuraMON is
mounted at least 30 degrees from horizontal. If this is not possible, forced cooling must
be applied directly to the unit in order not to overheat it.
-Sunlight
If the unit can be exposed to direct sunlight, there is a potential risk that the unit can be
overheated. Please take measures to prevent direct sunlight. Do also consider forced
cooling on the back of the unit.
Operation of the DuraMON
To ensure that colors and luminance on the display is correct in ECDIS applications, do not use the
monitor until the warm-up period has completed.
The warm-up period is as follows:
Day mode
Dusk mode
Night mode
DuraMON19

2 hours and 30 min
2 hours and 15 min
DuraMON20

The DC power connector is a spring loaded version to give the optimal
connection over time. To wire up the DC version of DuraMON simply
enter a sufficient screw driver, or similar, into the upper hole to release
the spring, enter the wire into the correct connection hole and remove
the screw driver to unrelease the spring.
Only use multicore cables from AWG18 to AWG8 (0.75 mm2to 10 mm2)
