2 Components and Operations
2.1 Location
A clean and moisture free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation. Avoid areas with:
• Sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
• Extreme heat.
• Strong electromagnetic elds.
• Dust or high humidity.
If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please regularly maintain your display by cleaning dust,
water, etc. to keep it in optimal condition.
2.2 Ruggedness
The display is designed with rugged features such as vibration, shock, dust and rain/water protection.
However, it is still necessary to provide appropriate protection while operating in harsh environments.
NEVER immerse the unit in water. Doing so may cause permanent damage.
All connectors will corrode if exposed to water or moisture. Corrosion is accelerated if the system’s power
is ON. Please take proper water-resistant measures for cable connections.
The DC jack and cables are sealed and may be operated with water splashing while attached. All port cov-
ers should be in place when no cable is attached.
2.3 Power supply
The display can be powered via AC/DC or DC/DC adapter ( V DC-In).
2.4 Switching ON
The RD B is equipped with a power ON delay to avoid switching ON/OFF the display by accident. In
order to switch ON the display, the power ON/OFF button must be pressed for approx.  seconds without
interruptions. The green power LED will light green to signalise the operational state.
2.5 Switching OFF
To switch OFF the display, press the ON/OFF button for approx  seconds. The display will switch OFF and
the power LED goes out.
2.6 Display Panel
The panel of the RD B is a :  x  XGA panel with typical  cd/mbrightness, a contrast of :
and a LED backlight.
