2. Panel PC Description
The Wave PERFORMANCE Monitors are a series of rugged TFT LCD Display Panel PCs available in 18.5", 19", 21.5",
24", 27" and 32" display sizes and with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 and Celeron CPUs. All our Panel PCs are built following a
modular approach and can be console mounted or equipped with a stand (hinge).
Each Panel PC is constituted by the following set of components:
Display Unit (DIU) - Front end of the Panel PC consisting of the glass (optionally: touch) and display panel in the
aluminum frame.
Electronics Unit (ELU) - Back end of the Panel PC consisting mainly of power supply, motherboard, SSD, and memory.
DIU and ELU are modular and easily separable to ensure efficient configuration, maintenance, and repair.
Optional accessories are a hinge (tiltable stand), panel mounting kits and HMI units (operator panels).
Each Panel PC presents the following materials and features:
The Front, Display Frame and Cover are made of Marine Grade Aluminum allowing to reduce weight while eliminating
corrosion problems.
The electronics include a specifically designed Power Supply, a high-quality Display Controller, a Backlight LED driver,
and a custom-made Interface Board.
The Panel PCs use identical Power Supply which can be supplied with 90-264 VAC, 18-36 VDC or as a multipower
combination depending on configuration.
Pixel pitch on all displays varies from 0.213 to 0.311 mm both in X and Y direction depending on the display size (see data
sheet). Pixel pitch equals 1.07 m viewing distance with a viewing angle of 1 minute of arc as required in IEC 62288 section
7.5.1 for the 27" Panel PC, 0.96 m for the 24" Panel PC, 0.86 m for the 21" Panel PC, 1.02 m for the 19” Panel PC and 0.74
m for the 18.5" Panel PC. Nominal viewing distance in a normal environment is 1.0 m.
Each Panel PC complies with the following international Standards and Requirements:
All our Panel PCs have been tested by international accredited testing labs and found to comply with the requirements of
the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) as well as the selected requirements of IEC 60945, IEC
60533, IEC 60529, and selected MIL standards.
The 19", 21ʺ, 24" and 27" Panel PCs have also been tested according to IEC 62288, IEC 62388, and IEC 61174 and are
thereby ECDIS approved.
All our Panel PCs are approved in compliance with the international standard IEC 60945:2002 (Clause 4.4 Equipment
category b, protected from the weather (formerly class B)), Maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and
systems - General requirements - Methods of testing and required test results.

3. Product Identification
On the backside there are three markings identifying the Panel PC.
Display Unit (DIU) P/N and serial number
Electronics Unit (ELU) P/N and serial number
Complete Panel PC P/N and service tag number
Upon request we can assign an additional customer specific P/N.
Please see separate document for details about product numbering.
4. Packaging and Delivery
Please check the delivered goods immediately on receipt with respect to damages caused by transportation and inform the
delivering freight carrier immediately, on site, about any visible transport damages. Additionally, inform us immediately in
writing, at the latest within 5 workdays, about any visible transport damages. At reception, the delivery includes the
following items:
Wave PERFORMANCE Monitor (Panel PC)
AC power cable
DC power plug (optional)
DP cable (optional)
5. Mechanical Dimensions
For panel cut out drawings and mechanical dimensions of Panel PCs see data sheets.
6. Compass Safe-distance:
Every panel PC is tested in order to determine the minimum safe distances at which it should be installed from both the
steering and the standard magnetic compasses, so not to significantly affect the accuracy of these compasses. A safe
distance takes into account both the constant effect on a magnetic compass by the presence of magnetic material, but also
any variable effect due e.g., electrical circuits or the opening/closing of drawers or panels. Thus, provided that a Panel PC
is not placed in a position nearer to the center of the magnetic compass than the recommended safe distance, the Panel PC
may be installed or removed without any need for adjustment of that compass.
The safe compass distances are mentioned on every Panel PC and/or in the corresponding datasheet.

Use in ECDIS applications:
If the Panel PC is to be used in an ECDIS application, the appropriate ECDIS color table must be integrated into the ECDIS
software. The ECDIS color table is provided as a .csv file that lists the RGB values required to produce each color token.
The color table is provided along with the calibration data.
10. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is possible to control the Panel PC backlight (brightness) and buzzer via Ethernet using SNMP.
An SNMP agent must be installed using the following procedure:
Microsoft .Net Core 3.1 is required to run the NorthSNMP agent. Make sure it is installed or install from this link:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/thank-you/runtime-desktop-3.1.6-windows-x64-installer
Download and install the SNMP agent according to the procedure below:
1. Create folder "c:\program files\NorthInvent\NorthSNMP" and copy files from NorthSNMP.zip to the folder.
2. Run the install.bat found in NorthSNMP.zip to install the service.
Then open Windows firewall on UDP port 161 either by running the below commands in PowerShell or by using the
Windows Defender graphical interface.
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "UPD161 SNMP IN" -Direction Inbound -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 161 -Action Allow -Profile Any
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "UPD161 SNMP OUT" -Direction Outbound -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 161 -Action Allow -Profile Any

Control
Command
Get backlight value
snmpget ‐v2c ‐cpublic localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.30329.1.1.3.2.0
Set backlight 55%
snmpset ‐v2c ‐cpublic localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.30329.1.1.3.2.0 i 55
Turn on buzzer
snmpset -v2c -cpublic localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.30329.1.1.5.24.0 i 1
Turn off buzzer
snmpset ‐v2c ‐cpublic localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.30329.1.1.5.24.0 i 0
The backlight setting interval is 0-100% where 100% is max brightness.
11. System Utility and API
