3.0 INSTALLATIONS
It is important that your new display is installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions provided in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product
performance and may invalidate your warranty.
When planning the installation the following points must be considered:
• Your Navpixel display is sunlight viewable and visible in direct sunlight..
• If temperatures exceed the normal temperature operating range the display could
overheat and begin to blackout due to the limitations of TFT LCD technology.
• In order to minimize the chances of a malfunction, the following precautions should be
taken during installation:
• The display should be installed in an area where there is proper and adequate
ventilation (min. 15cm clearance) . If it is possible to cool the area behind the
display, it will significantly reduce the risk of a malfunction.
• The display should be mounted at an angle to the sun. We do not recommend
mounting the unit in a flat plane, which increases the surface area exposed to the
sun and leads to increased heat absorption.
IMPORTANT: Your Navpixel display is only waterproof from the front. To maintain
watertight integrity the display must be flush mounted ensuring that the rear casing is
enclosed in a watertight enclosure.
The Navpixel™ Series Marine Display is designed to be mounted in two configurations:
VESA75 / VESA100 MOUNT
The Navpixel™ Series Marine Display is designed compatible with VESA75 and VESA100
mount. By installing the monitor with this kit, the user can adjust the viewing angle to
improve viewability in changing environments. This mounting system has proven to be
successful in supporting an extreme amount of weight in high vibration and
difficult-mount applications.
The back of the monitor includes mounting points that you can use to mount the monitor
as your installation requires.

Page 10
Mounting holes on the Navpixel™ Series Marine Display allow the monitor to be mounted
by rear mounted using VESA75 or VESA100 mount
PANEL (Flush) MOUNT
For installation, there are four tapped mounting holes on the two sides of the unit’s
panel. The mounting hardware packet is included with the product accessories in the
shipping box. This packet includes four (4) stainless steel threaded studs, 3.2 cm and
four (4) mounting lock nuts.
Your monitor can be installed using the mounting lock nuts (supplied) in the vertical
keyways. Make sure that both brackets are in the same orientation.
Preparing the installation site
1. Select an installation site that has sufficient space behind for cable connections and
ventilation.
2. Tape the supplied flush mount template in the required position.
3. Using a jigsaw, carefully remove the shaded portion of the template.
4. Using a suitable file, smooth the edges of the aperture.

Page 11
Installing the display
1. Carefully insert the monitor into the aperture, ensuring that the gasket on the rear of
the fascia lays flat against the aperture edge.
IMPORTANT: The gasket must lay flat against the aperture edge to ensure watertight
integrity.
2. Place the mounting bracket lugs into the keyways and move them to the rear, securing
the bracket to the monitor.
Note: The mounting brackets can be used in either the horizontal or vertical keyways as
required.
3. Using a suitable screwdriver, tighten the mounting bracket screws to secure the
monitor in position.
4. Connect all cables as required - see “Rear connections” below.

Planning the installation
Before you install your display, the following points should be considered:
• Power requirements.
• Display location and mounting options.
• Additional accessories, e.g. keyboard or speakers.
Power requirements
Your Sunlight Viewable display is designed to run on boat’s power systems, with AC/DC
adaptor Navpixel series are equipped with 9~36V DC wide range power input.
For power connection please make sure the power cable is tightly connected by two
screws of the terminal block.
The output pin of AC/DC adaptor should be checked and make sure the polarity of
voltage is connected properly.
Grounding the display
It is important that an effective radio frequency (RF) ground is connected to the display.
You must ground the display by connecting the drain wire (shield) of the power input
cable to the nearest ground point of the boat’s RF ground system.

Page 13
Display location and mounting options
Your display can be mounted using the flush mounting kit supplied. Navpixel
recommends that you power the unit and select a suitable mounting location prior to
installing the display.
When planning the display location, the following points should be considered to ensure
safe, comfortable and reliable operation:
• Convenience- the mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of
the controls and should enable easy viewing of the display.
Power connections
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the battery
isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Navpixel recommends that power is
fed directly to the display via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by
a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to the power connection. If you do not
have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit, you MUST fit an in-line
breaker or fuse to the positive (red) lead of the power cable.
• Installation angle- the display should be mounted at an angle. Mounting it in a flat
plane is not recommended due to increased heat absorption.
• Viewing angle - this LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including
viewing angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays vary slightly
with viewing angle.
• Environment - to prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the display
unit; If the space behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan, it will help in
keeping the unit’s temperature down when mounted in direct sunlight.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY VENTILATE THE UNIT COULD INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although
the display unit is waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is good practice
to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt
spray. DO NOT place the display near to a heat source.

4.0 TOUCH DRIVER INSTALLATIONS
Both AR glass and Resistive touch screen solutions are used for our products. If you
have a customized or tailored product, please check the specifications in this
manual or provide us your third-party specifications.
Resistive Touch Screen
It generally uses a display overlay composed of layers, each with a conductive
coating on the interior surface. Special separator “dots” are distributed evenly
across the active area and separate the conductive interior layers. The pressure
from using either a mechanical stylus or finger produces an internal electrical
contact at the “action point” which supplies the controller with vertical and
horizontal analog voltages for data input. The resistive touch screens are anti-glare
to reduce reflective shine intensity, which will slightly diffuse the light output
throughout the screen. Resistive technology activation can be initiated by; a gloved
hand, fingernail, mechanical stylus or an ungloved finger.
