The MD-224 is the 24 inch version of our marine display series.
Designed for durably reliable service as an ECDIS display
component, the MD-224 has a 16:9 aspect ratio, alongside full
range dimming and optional optical bonding, making it well-suited
not only for ECDIS applications, but for a variety of other bridge
applications as well.
The MD-224 features both AC and DC power inputs, and may be
conveniently installed on any bridge, without the need for extra
hardware.
Moxa’s marine displays are compliant with the most important
industrial marine standards, including IEC 60945, DNV, and
IACS-E10, giving strong assurance of their suitability for marine
applications.

Installing the MD-224
Desktop
The MD-224 comes with optional brackets that allow you to install
the display on a horizontal surface, such as a desktop. Three round
screws are required for each bracket. See the figure for detailed
screw specifications and their torque values.
Place your MD-224 display on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop.
To protect the display from overheating, leave some ventilation
space between the MD-224 and other equipment. Do not place
equipment or objects on the panel, as this might damage internal
components.

Panel Mounting
The MD-224 comes with 14 optional clamp mounts for installation
on a wall (where space has been cut out to accommodate the rest
of the hardware) or into computing stations where a flush mount is
desired. The maximum thickness of the surface to which the
display can be clamped is 11 mm. For a secure mounting, all 14
clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all
four sides of the MD-224. Use the short M4 SUS screws to fasten
the clamp arms to the MD-224 mounting slots, as shown in the
magnified inset in the diagram just below. Next, use the clamps to
fasten the display to its mounting point; please note the torque
value that is shown in the figure inset, below.
VESA Mounting
The MD-224 also comes with an optional VESA mounting kit. Six
flat screws and four round screws are required to fasten the VESA
mounting bracket. See the figure below for detailed screw
specifications and torque values.
An additional four screws (not included in the kit) are required to
mount the display on a VESA rack. For this purpose, use M6 screws
that are between 10 and 12 mm in length.
Connector Description
Extending the Display
The MD-224 comes with both standard VGA and DVI-D interfaces
on the bottom panel. It will automatically detect whether the input
video source is from the VGA or DVI-D interface.
Configuring the Display via the Serial Port
The MD-224 has two serial ports. The for RS-232 port uses a DB9
connector, and the RS-422/485 port uses a terminal block
connector. Either serial port can be used to modify the display
parameters using UART commands. Refer to the MD-224 User’s
Manual for serial port configuration details. The pin assignments
for the ports are shown in the following table:

Powering on/off the MD-224
To power on the MD-224, connect to an AC power source, a DC
power source, or both. Touch the MENU button for 1 second to turn
on the display. Touch the MENU button for 4 seconds to turn off the
display.
NOTE
If only one power input is being connected,
the
INFO button
will be red. This will not affect the functionality and
performance of MD
-224 as long as the power input is
stable.
Grounding the MD-224
Proper grounding and wire routing help to limit the effects of noise
from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground
connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting the power source.
For detailed configuration of the MD-224 Series, refer to the
MD-224 User’s Manual.
