User’s Manual

INSTALLATION

This section describes the unpacking and installation of the monitor.

UNPACKING

Before unpacking, the shipping carton should be inspected for damage. Then, the carton should be carefully opened and the monitor removed. The monitor itself should be carefully inspected for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, the shipping carton and all packing materials should be saved for possible inspection by the shipping company, and the shipping company and EDL Displays should be notified immediately.

NOTE: EDL recommends saving the packaging for re-use in case the monitor should ever have to be shipped to a new location.

CHECKING PACKAGE CONTENTS

All EDL monitors are supplied with a User’s Manual and with cables and other optional accessories as specified by the customer at the time of order. The contents of the package should be checked against the packing list to ensure that all items are present.

MOUNTING

Rack Mounting

The 30xx-RM monitors are designed to be mounted without slides in an EIA 19” rack cabinet. The hole pattern on the monitor’s front panel allows mounting the unit on rack rails that have either a “Wide” or a “Universal” hole pattern.

NOTE: About “Universal” vs. “Wide” hole spacings on EIA rack cabinet rails.

The mounting rails that run vertically along the inside edges of the front and rear openings of EIA rack cabinets can be of two types. “Wide” rails have holes spaced 0.5” and 1.25” on centers, in a repeating pattern. These rails are prevalent in Europe. “Universal” rails have holes spaced

0.5” 0.625” and 0.625” on centers, in a repeating pattern. Thus the “Universal” rails have a hole pattern that contains the “Wide” pattern but provides an additional hole at the midpoint of the pattern. “Universal” rails are most prevalent in the U.S.

Before installing the monitor in a rack, ensure that the following conditions for installation are met:

EDL Displays 3000 Series LCD Monitors

• Adequate ventilation must be available within the rack cabinet to ensure that monitor is not exposed to ambient temperatures above 50°C.

• The relative humidity of the air within and around the rack cabinet should not exceed 85%.

• Following installation, there must be sufficient clearance around the ventilation holes in the monitor’s rear enclosure to allow good circulation. Whenever possible, avoid mounting the monitor in the uppermost part of the rack cabinet.

• Power and earth ground should be accessible when the monitor is installed in the cabinet.

NOTE: To provide maximum comfort for the user, the monitor should be mounted so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level, and so that light from nearby windows, overhead fixtures, etc. does not reflect off the screen.

Installation in the rack cabinet is easy and should proceed as follows:

• Before positioning the monitor on the rack rails, identify the holes in the rails that will match up to the holes in the monitor’s panel and install clip nuts in those holes. Please refer to the appropriate outline drawing for the locations of the holes in the monitor panel.

• If there is no access to the monitor from the rear of the cabinet following installation, power, ground and video connections should be made prior to installing the monitor on the rails. Please refer to the following sections of the manual for connection guidelines.

• Position the monitor on the rails and run screws through the front panel holes into the pre-installed clip nuts.

NOTE: The monitor must be positioned on the rack rails in such a way that the top and bottom edges of its panel fall midway between rail holes spaced

0.5”.

Console or Panel Mounting

The 30xx-CM monitors are designed for mounting on a console panel. Before installing the monitor on a panel, ensure that the following conditions for installation are met:

User’s Manual

• Adequate ventilation must be available within the console to ensure that monitor is

not exposed to ambient temperatures above 50°C.

• The relative humidity of the air within and around the console should not exceed

85%.

• Following installation, there must be sufficient clearance around the ventilation holes

in the monitor’s rear enclosure to allow good circulation.

• Power and earth ground should be accessible when the monitor is installed in the

console.

Installation on a console panel should proceed as follows:

• Refer to the appropriate outline and mounting drawings in Appendix F for dimensions

and locations of mounting holes.

• Make a rectangular cut-out in the console panel to accommodate that part of the

monitor’s enclosure that projects backward behind its front panel. The monitor must drop into this cut-out in such a way that the back surface of its front panel rests against the front surface of the console panel on all four sides.

• Drill holes around the periphery of the cut-out just made in the console panel. The

holes should be located in such a way that they will align with the mounting holes on the monitor.

• Power, ground and video connections can be made prior to installing the monitor in

the console panel, or afterwards, if there is sufficient access to the rear of the console. Assess the situation before making final installation of the monitor.

• Position the monitor in the console panel cut-out and install screws through the

mounting holes to secure the monitor.

VESA Arm or Yoke Mounting

The 30xx-VM monitors are designed for mounting to an articulated arm that provides a mounting flange with a VESA standard hole pattern. Please refer to mounting instructions supplied with the VESA arm to be used.

EDL Displays 3000 Series LCD Monitors

85-265 VAC

MAKING VIDEO INPUT CONNECTIONS

All EDL 3000 series monitors accept analog RGB video signals at an HD-15 connector.

When connecting the monitor to an analog signal source, it is necessary to use a cable that terminates on the monitor end with an HD-15 connector that mates to the monitor’s connector, and on the source end with an HD-15 connector or with some combination of three to five BNC connectors, as appropriate to the source. (See cable descriptions in the appendices for details. Cables are available from EDL.)

Provided the correct cable is used, the monitor will automatically sense and adapt to the sync type (sync-on-green, composite separate sync, or separate horizontal and vertical syncs).

Please refer to the following figure for location of the HD-15 connector on the monitor’s rear panel.

MAKING POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS

AC Power

A monitor equipped for operation on AC power should be connected to a single-phase power source providing 115 to 230VAC nominal (85 to 264VAC) at 47 to 66Hz, or 400Hz.

User’s Manual

Connection is made by way of an IEC power cord at the monitor’s power input connector, or by way of a military style connector, when that option is specified. (See figure above for the location of the input connector on the monitor’s rear panel.)

WARNING: To ensure against fire or shock hazards, the monitor chassis should be connected to an earth ground by a path that is independent of the power cord. While the AC power cord provides a ground wire, the power cord ground can be defeated by use of an extension cord or 3-prong to 2prong AC adapter, and it can be rendered ineffective by improper wiring of the AC receptacle.

NOTE: To minimize ground loop induced “noise” on the video inputs, it is good practice to connect the monitor’s AC power cord to the same receptacle that supplies power to the video source.

DC Power

A monitor equipped for operation from a DC power source should be connected to the DC main using UL approved #10 stranded wire. The wire should use properly color-coded insulation.
