Unpacking
Unpack the unit from the shipping container and inspect all articles for shipping damage. If you find any damage,
notify the shipping carrier immediately for claims adjustments. Compare the shipping box contents to the packing slip.
Contact PANORAMAdtv sales representative if there are any unexplained shortages.
Power Requirements
The unit is equipped with a world standard power supply that is capable of operating on 90-264 VAC @ 50-60 Hz.
Power consumption is 23 watts (standard) and 32 watts with all three SDI options installed.
Power Supply LED Indication: The green Power LED at the center of the front panel glows green to indicate the unit
is connected to mains power and an operating voltage is present. Individual displays are turned on or off from their
respective ON/OFF switches located on the unit rear.
Cooling and Airflow
No special physical mounting considerations are necessary regarding unit heat dissipation except under adverse
conditions. Provided the ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius
(104 degrees Fahrenheit), adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the MON3-3. If the
above temperature is exceeded, allow a 1RU (1.75”/25mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation.
Rack Mounting
The unit rack mounts in a standard EIA-310-D specification 19”/483mm rack and needs 3RU (5.25”/133mm) of space.
(See Figure-2a, page 8 for unit dimensions.) Allow sufficient space at the unit rear for connector and cable clearance
(approximately 4”/102mm). The MON3-3 weighs approximately 12 pounds (5.44 kg) and rack mounts from the front
panel support rails. Rear support is not required.
LCD Monitor Viewing Position: To obtain the best operator’s viewing angle, mount the MON3-3 as nearly
“straight on” to the operator’s position as possible (0 degrees left/right or up/down). Good image quality is
assured if viewing angles are between +/- 45 degrees from the center axis in the horizontal plane (left/right).
In the vertical axis, good image quality is obtained between 10 degrees looking down and 30 degrees looking
up. The MON3-3 displays are mounted in a rotating cylinder that allows you to adjust the display angle +/- 30
degrees to provide optimum operator viewing angles. Due to the nature of LCD’s, there are certain anomalies,
which can cause the displayed video to appear incorrect. If the viewer is outside the optimal LCD display
viewing range, the contrast ratio, brightness, and color saturation will not be or may not appear to be, a true
representation of the displayed video. Additional anomalies such as loss of resolution, apparent reversed
video effect, and frame/field strobe effect with the CCFT backlight may also be observed. The LCD used in
the MON3-3 is optimized for viewing from the 12 o’clock position. That is from approximately eye height and
upwards. Typically, the MON3-3 is mounted at or above eye height and viewed by looking upwards into the
display. Going beyond the specified viewing area can cause anomalies as mentioned, above.
NOTE: In PAL mode operation, the LCD driver discards every seventh line of active video so an entire video
frame fits within the display screen. This is normal with most LCD’s currently on the market.
General Installation Recommendations
EMI Interference: To ensure EMI interference is kept to a minimum, terminate all unused connectors.
Recommended Cables: Recommended cable type for Analog or SDI signals is: Belden 1694A.
Static Discharge: As with most electronic equipment, static discharges can damage components within the unit.
Take precautions to ensure your installation environment is not subject to static discharges.
