Introduction
About Planar’s Mariner Touch Monitors
The LX0801PTI, LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI are high-performance, rugged touch
monitors intended for demanding environments, such as those aboard a watercraft.
The monitors feature a AMLCD TFT display with IR touchscreen, bright enough to
be read in daylight. The monitors include several mounting points for front or rear
mounting. The monitors are to be powered directly from circuit breaker protected
and switched 8-32 VDC power aboard the watercraft. The metal enclosure is IP-65,
designed to withstand liquid and dust intrusion. An optional cosmetic bezel is
included with each monitor.

Features
Brightness control• allows you to easily adjust the display to match the
ambient light, from full sunlight to night.
The monitor’s• TFT display is optically bonded to the Touchscreen to
increase contrast ratio. Increased contrast ratio makes it easier to
read information displayed on the monitor.
The monitor’s• autosync function eliminates the need for adjusting the
monitor for the best image - the monitor automatically makes any needed
adjustments whenever it is powered up or the display mode is changed.
The monitor supports• standard VGA signal input:
LX0801PTI is 800 x 600 SVGA (native) and 640 x 480.•
LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI are 1024 x 768 XGA (native), 800 x 600 and•
640 x 480.
The monitor’s IP-65• enclosure protects from splashed water and dust. It
is designed to withstand shock and vibration for greater endurance and
reliability.
There are several mounting point features incorporated in the design of•
the enclosure to enable installation flexibility.
Note: The LX0801PTI/LX1201PTI/LX1501PTI monitors do not have OSD controls
available from the front buttons. All OSD commands can be controlled via USB
cable from the host CPU (see Addendum A).

Installation
Before Installing
Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor:
The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation,•
system control or vehicle information. If the monitor will be used for other
purposes, it should be installed in such a way that it will only operate while the
watercraft is not moving.
Review all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations to make sure•
the monitor is used properly and safely.
The installed monitor must not interfere with the driver’s vision.•
Installing the monitor consists of three steps:
Attaching the monitor using one of the mounting interfaces built into the1.
monitor’s enclosure.
Connecting the monitor to the computer and power source.2.
Installing the touchscreen driver software.3.

LX0801PTI/ LX1201PTI/ LX1501PTI - IP-65 Touch Monitors User’s Guide (020-0982-00A) 11
Step 1 - Mounting the Monitor
The back and sides of the monitor include mounting points that you can use to
mount the monitor as your installation requires.
Mounting holes on the LX0801PTI, LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI allow the monitor
to be mounted :
Front mounted using corner mounting holes (1)•
Rear mounted using either VESA, 3 hole RAM style, or edge•
mounting holes (2, 3)
Side mounted using variegated bosses (4)•

Removing Bezel:
If you are flange mounting the monitor, it•
will be necessary to remove the decorative
bezel from the enclosure. As shown, insert a
narrow straight blade screw driver between
the bezel and enclosure near one of the
friction points. Pry upwards gently.

Step 2 - Connecting the Monitor
Once the monitor is mounted in place, connect it to the computer (or other
video source) and the regulated DC power supply as follows. Planar does not supply
a power supply. The monitor is intended to be powered from the watercraft’s DC
power system. Power to the monitor (and CPU) is hard switched from the line power
that should be protected by a magnetic hydraulic circuit breaker. DO NOT connect
the USB cable at this time!
Install IRtouch software on computer.1.
As needed, route any data and power cables from the computer to the2.
monitor.
Make sure the computer is turned off . Connect video cable and USB cable.3.
Connect to the monitor’s power supply.4.
Note: Use a appropriately sized fuse in line to the power source. Also, to
prevent the watercraft’s battery from draining in standby mode, you
should install a device that shuts off power to the monitor while the
monitor is inactive. (An example is Lind Electronic’s Vehicle Battery
Voltage Shutdown Timer - www.lindeletronic.com).
Turn on power to the computer and monitor. The monitor then turns on as5.
soon as it receives a video signal from the computer, and its LED turns green.
Also, the first time the monitor is powered up, it automatically displays a test
pattern of repeating colored screens (black, white, red, green, and blue) until a
video signal is detected.
Note: For best results, adjust the display mode of the computer to a resolution
of 800 x 600 (LX0801PTI) or 1024 x 768 (LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI) and a
refresh rate of 60 Hz.
Note: This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer.
However, depending on your particular hardware configuration, these
connections may be to a dock or other device rather than directly to
the computer.
12VDC system: 4A slow blow fuse
24VDC system: 2A slow blow fuse

Note: The Mariner design does not have a power switch that turns off the power to
the monitor. This is because the vast majority of marine installations utilize a
circuit breaker to turn power on/off to electrical devices.

Turning the Monitor On and Off
The monitor’s power button can control power to the display and CPU. It is
not designed to electrically isolate the monitor or CPU from the supply. Use
an appropriately sized (4A slow blow 12VDC/2A slow blow 24VDC) magnetic
hydraulic circuit breaker to switch line power on/off.
Note: Be sure to configure the computer’s power options, including how the
computer responds, when the button is pressed. See Windows on-line
help for details. The monitor goes into standby whenever the computer is
put into sleep or into hibernation.
Using the Touchscreen
The touchscreen allows you to operate the computer by touching
the screen with a finger or stylus, rather than using a mouse or keyboard.
Navigating the Touchscreen
To click an item, tap the item once.•
To double-click an item, tap the item twice rapidly.•
To drag an item, touch the item, and then drag it along the screen to the•
new location.
To move the cursor, touch the screen and move the cursor as needed.•
Cleaning the Monitor
Clean the monitor’s touchscreen periodically to keep the display image bright
and sharp, and to keep the touchscreen functions working properly.
• Always turn off the monitor before cleaning.
• Clean the touchscreen with a dry soft cloth. If this does not clean
the screen adequately, preferably use Sparkle or Glass X cleaners.

LX0801PTI/ LX1201PTI/ LX1501PTI - IP-65 Touch Monitors User’s Guide (020-0982-00A) 19
If these optimal cleaners are not available use water or mild glass or window cleaner
(that does not contain ammonia) applied to the cloth and not to the display.
• Clean the monitor housing with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent.
• Never apply abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to the monitor.
