7About the external control
This monitor has three external control terminals.
• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it.
(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal.
☞“Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system” on page 17
• RS-485 terminals (RJ-45): Controls the monitor with the RS-485 system. (☞“Using the serial communication”
on page 18)
• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞“Using the serial
communication” on page 18)
Set the following items of “REMOTE SETTING” in SET-UP MENU according to the external control terminal and

7Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system
The MAKE/TRIGGER terminal is configured as follows. You can assign a function to each pin terminal in
“REMOTE SETTING” (☞“PIN1, PIN2, PIN3, PIN4, PIN5” in “PARALLEL TYPE” on page 15).
• You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.

invalid).
*2The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE system.
To assign the functions to the pin terminals
For the operation procedure, see page 7.
1Select “REMOTE SETTING” on the SET-UP MENU.
2Set “PARALLEL TYPE” to “SET.”
3Select a pin name (“PIN1” – “PIN5”) for which you want to assign a function, then select the function you want
to assign.
• For selectable functions, see the tables on the right.
Operation of the external control
1Set “PARALLEL TYPE” of “REMOTE SETTING” to “MAKE” or “TRIGGER” in the SET-UP MENU.
2Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (ENABLE) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled
by the external control.
3When the “MAKE” system is selected: Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal
to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.
When the “TRIGGER” system is selected: Operate each function by pulse control, that is short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second and opening it.
• When changing the input with MAKE system, only one pin terminal must be short-circuited. (Other pin terminals
must be opened.)
• When selecting the “TRIGGER” system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one
by one.
This is a female terminal.

The following are not malfunctions.
• When a still image is displayed for a long time, it may remain indistinctly on the screen after the picture has
changed. Though the remaining picture will disappear after a while, there may be a case that it remains
for a long period depending on the length of time the still image was displayed for. This is due to the
characteristics of the LCD display and is not a malfunction.
• Red spots, blue spots and green spots on the panel surface are a normal characteristic of LCD displays,
and not a problem. The LCD display is built with very high precision technology; however, be aware that a
few pixels may be missing or constantly lit.
• The following symptoms are problems only when pictures are not played back normally.
– A slight electric shock occurs when you touch the monitor.
– The top and/or rear panel of the monitor becomes hot.
– The monitor emits a cracking noise.
– The monitor emits a mechanical noise.
Symptom Probable cause and corrective action Page
The picture becomes
blurred.
• Adjust the picture contrast or brightness by using the adjustment
knobs on the front panel. Or, adjust “CONTRAST” or “BRIGHT” of
“PICTURE SUB ADJ.” in the SET-UP MENU.
