The TFT Monitor Raptor SQ2801 was developed to meet the very demanding requirements in the Air
Traffic Management where system availability and reliability is crucial. Ergonomic criteria have been
addressed to ensure high acceptance from the operators.
Reduced depth and lower weight compared to CRT monitors allow easy installation into workstation
consoles of air traffic control rooms. Considerably lower power consumption and heat emissions are
some of the other advantages over CRT based units.
The TFT technology employed in this design is based on Sharp’s ASV technology and offers very
sharp, undistorted image, right up to the edges. Unlike the CRT counterpart, this technology does not
have problems such as convergence or effects from electro magnetic radiation.
The Raptor SQ2801 is a 28.05“ TFT module with native resolution of 2,048 x 2,048 pixel. Wide
viewing angle of 170° (horizontally and vertically), a contrast ratio of 1000 : 1 and maximum
brightness of 210 cd/m² enable very clear and sharp pictures with color depth of 16.7 million colors.
is backward compatible with Sony’s DDM
The Raptor SQ2801 product has two dual link DVI-D (digital) inputs and one analog input. OSD (on
screen display) allows control of various configurable parameters such as brightness, contrast and
input switching. These parameters can also be controlled via RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces.
Remote control software is available from Tech Source.

1.3 Packaging
NOTE
To avoid permanent damage, great care should be taken to ensure that the monitor is
adequately packed and transported in the correct manner. The original packaging should be
retained and re-used for future transportation purposes. The original packaging has a red
label with two arrows and text “hier oben” (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), which indicates the correct
orientation of the package (i.e. when correctly packed this label should be aligned with the top edge and front glass face of the monitor see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.)
Please note that the monitor (chassis, desktop and panel mount version)
transported in a vertical position. The red label should be at the top of the package. See Fig.

1.4 Instructions for Handling Components Susceptible to Electrostatic
Shocks
Most of the assemblies within the LCD monitor Raptor SQ2801 contain components which can be
permanently damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge. Such resulting damage may or may
not result in total failure of the components or modules affected.
The following precautions must be strictly observed when handling such assemblies (this work should
only be carried out by qualified service technicians):
• When handling electronic components, care should be taken to prevent electrostatic
discharge. Such discharge may occur when handling components or modules without
suitable precautions to ensure adequate grounding.
• This also applies to all (insulated) tools. They must also be discharged to earth at all times.
• When assemblies are removed or added to the system, the unit must always be switched off
and unplugged from the power supply.
• Vulnerable components should always be held by their edges. Avoid touching circuit paths
and contact pins.
1.5 Cleaning
Clean the monitor periodically to keep the monitor clean and extend its life.
Cabinet
Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth dampened with little mild detergent.
NOTE
LCD Panel
TIPS
Never use any solvents or chemicals, such as thinner, benzene, wax, alcohol, and abrasive
cleaner, which may damage the cabinet or LCD panel.
• Clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth such as cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper.
• Remove persistent stains gently with a cloth dampened with little water, and then clean the
LCD panel again with a dry cloth for better finishing.
Optional ScreenCleaner is recommended for cleaning the LCD panel surface.

2 General Installation
Preparation for installing the LCD monitor includes following steps:
• Removal of all packaging materials
• Checking of components for damage
• Comparison of components received with those listed on the delivery note
• Connection to the computer system and power supply
• System integration under consideration of technical and ergonomic aspects
2.1 Removal of Packaging and Checking of Component Parts
After unpacking all delivered components, they should be checked for completeness and for possible
shipping damage (visual inspection). If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact your local
dealer. Have your packing list number, serial number of the unit and a description of the problem
available when calling.
The original packaging should be kept for future shipping of the product.

2.2 Installing the Monitor
The Raptor SQ2801 is currently offered in two versions - desktop version and chassis version. Both
these version are discussed in this section.
The desktop version is a “standalone” unit that can be placed on top of a desktop console. As for the
chassis version, it is easy to integrate it onto the rear of control panel or a console by using two
mounting brackets.
Please note the following for safe and proper operation:
Ambient Temperature
In order for the LCD monitor to maintain an optimum operating temperature while in use, air must be
allowed to circulate freely around the Raptor SQ2801 enclosure. This is especially important for the
rear of the unit. Convection current must be allowed to circulate around the enclosure.
Please bear in mind that increased temperatures may result in on-screen defects and significantly
reduced lifetime of the panel.
EMC – Radiation
The LCD monitor is a piece of equipment designed for integration into an industrial system. The
operator of the entire plant is responsible for maintaining electromagnetic compatibility according to
EMC laws.
Safety Aspects
All voltage and signal connections must adhere to legal requirements.
Ergonomics
The screen comes with anti-reflective glass. However, it should be installed/positioned properly to
allow easy viewing from all sides.
Mechanical Integration
The chassis version is secured into a system by 6 bolts (M6 x 10). These bolts can be used for
attaching mounting angles which allow mounting the monitor in a control panel or a console (see Fig.
4, Page 13). The dimensions in the drawings are all in mm.
