Thank you for purchasing NEXCOM’s industrial-grade VMD 1000, the sun-
light readable touch screen LVDS display panel designed to be the ultimate
interactive display monitor for your VTC series, unleashing the multimedia
capabilities of your VTC series.
The VMD 1000 connects to the VTC series with a special LVDS cable that
integrates LVDS signals, USB connection, and power supply, all in one rug-
ged, easy-to-connect cable. With this connection made, VMD 1000 acts as
a remote power switch of VTC series (thanks to its power on/off button).
Additionally, it has built-in USB ports, audio/mic inputs and outputs, 2 au-
dio speakers onboard for built-in stereo sound, available automatic bright-
ness adjustment (controlled by an onboard light sensor), and much more.
The specially designed touch screen, which is readable even under bright
sunlight, makes it easy to use many functions of the VTC series. Moreover,
the front panel is IP54-compliant, which means that it is dust protected
and water-splash resistant. Furthermore, the 4 rubber protectors can be
installed on the 4 corners as protection cushions.

RoHS Compliance
NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status Update
RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg)
< 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent
Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) <
0.1% or 1,000ppm, and Polybrominated diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.1% or
1,000ppm.
In order to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established
an engineering and manufacturing task force in to implement the intro-
duction of green products. The task force will ensure that we follow the
standard NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS
components and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest
industry quality levels for which NEXCOM are renowned.
The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and
suppliers will ensure that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.
How to Recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products
For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the
suffix “(LF)” will be added to the compliant product name.
All new product models launched after January 2006 will be RoHS compli-
ant. They will use the usual NEXCOM naming convention.
Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can
get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep
small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
▪A Philips screwdriver
▪A flat-tipped screwdriver
▪A grounding strap
▪An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-
mended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections
NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital
infrastructure. We are committed to providing green
products and services, which are compliant with Eu-
ropean Union RoHS (Restriction on Use of Hazardous
Substance in Electronic Equipment) directive 2002/95/
EU, to be your trusted green partner and to protect
our environment.

Handling Precautions
▪Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
installing or fixing a component inside the chassis.

or fixing a component inside the chassis. Alternatively, discharge any
static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or
the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.
▪Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or
stress the circuit board.
