3.0 INSTALLATION
It is important that your new Stealth Marine / All Weather LCD Monitor is installed and operated
in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to do so could result in poor
product performance and may invalidate your warranty.
When planning your installation the following points must be considered:
• Your Stealth LCD Monitor is sunlight viewable and visible in direct sunlight.
• If temperatures exceed the normal operating temperature range the display could overheat and
begin to blackout due to the limitations of TFT LCD technology.
• In order to minimize the chances of a malfunction, the following precautions should be taken
during installation:
• The display should be installed in an area where there is proper and adequate ventilation
(min. 15cm clearance) . If it is possible to cool the area behind the display, it will significantly
reduce the risk of a malfunction.
• The display should be mounted at an angle to the sun. We do not recommend mounting
the unit in a flat plane, which increases the surface area exposed to the sun and leads to
increased heat absorption.
IMPORTANT: Your Stealth LCD Monitor is only waterproof from the front. To maintain a
watertight seal the display must be flush mounted ensuring that the rear casing is enclosed in a
watertight enclosure.

Stealth Marine / All Weather LCD Monitors are designed to be mounted in two configurations:
VESA75 / VESA100 MOUNT
The Stealth Marine / All Weather LCD Monitors are designed to be compatible with VESA75 and
VESA100 mounts. By installing the monitor with this kit, the user can adjust the viewing angle to
improve visibility in changing environments. This mounting system has proven to be successful
in supporting an extreme amount of weight in high vibration and difficult-mount applications.
The back of the monitor includes mounting points that you can use to mount the monitor as your
installation requires.
PANEL (Flush) MOUNT
For installation, there are four tapped mounting holes on the two sides of the unit’s panel. The
mounting hardware is included with the product (see page 5). This includes four (4) stainless
steel threaded studs, 3.2 cm and four (4) mounting lock brackets.
Your monitor can be installed using the mounting lock hardware (supplied) in the vertical
keyways. Make sure that both brackets are in the same orientation.

Installing the display
1. Carefully insert the monitor into the aperture, ensuring that the gasket on the rear of the fascia
lays flat against the aperture edge.
IMPORTANT: The gasket must lay flat against the aperture edge to ensure a watertight seal.

2. Place the mounting bracket lugs into the keyways and move them to the rear, securing the
bracket to the monitor.
Note: The mounting brackets can be used in either the horizontal or vertical keyways as
required.
3. Using a suitable screwdriver tighten the mounting bracket screws to secure the monitor into
position.
4. Connect all cables as required - see “Rear connections” on the next page.

Preparation and Planning for the installation
Before you install your display, the following points should be considered:
• Power requirements.
• Display location and mounting options.
• Additional accessories, e.g. keyboard or speakers.
Power requirements
Your Sunlight Viewable display is designed to run with 9~36V DC wide range power input.
For the power connections please ensure the power cable is tightly connected by two screws of
the terminal block. Confirm that the polarity is correct.
Grounding the display
It is important that an effective radio frequency (RF) ground is connected to the display. You
must ground the display by connecting the drain wire (shield) of the power input cable to the
nearest ground point.
Display location and mounting options
Your display can be mounted using the flush mounting kit supplied. Stealth recommends that you
power the unit and select a suitable mounting location prior to installing the display. When
planning the display location, the following points should be considered to ensure safe,
comfortable and reliable operation:
Convenience - The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the
controls and should enable easy viewing of the display.
Power connections
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the battery isolator
switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Stealth recommends that power is fed directly to the
display via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker
or fuse, fitted close to the power connection. If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse
in your power circuit, you MUST fit an in-line breaker or fuse to the positive (red) lead of the
power cable.

Installation angle - Tthe display should be mounted at an angle. Mounting it in a flat plane is not
recommended due to increased heat absorption.
Viewing angle - This LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance, including viewing
angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays may vary slightly with the
viewing angle.
Environment - To prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the display unit. If the
space behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan it will help in keeping the unit’s
temperature down when mounted in direct sunlight.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY VENTILATE THE UNIT COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although the
display unit is waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is good practice to mount it in
a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray. DO NOT place
the display near to a heat source.
