Introduction

This manual tells you how to connect, adjust and care for your monitor. This manual also
provides technical specifications and instructions for troubleshooting problems you may
experience with your monitor.

Monitor features

The Diamond monitor is an intelligent, microprocessor-based monitor compatible with
most analog RGB (red, green, blue) display standards, including PS/V

®

, PS/2®, Apple

®

Macintosh®, Centris, Quadra, Macintosh II and Power Macintosh products.
It provides crisp text and vivid color graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA (non-interlaced), and

most Macintosh compatible color graphics boards.

쮿

The monitor’s wide auto-scanning compatibility range makes it possible to upgrade
graphics boards or software without needing to purchase a new monitor.

쮿

Digitally controlled auto-scanning is done using an internal microprocessor, for
horizontal scan frequencies between 30kHz and 121kHz, and vertical scan frequen­cies between 50Hz and 160Hz. The microprocessor-based intelligence allows the
monitor to operate in each frequency mode with the precision of a fixed frequency
monitor.

쮿

The monitor contains resident memory for pre-programmed screen display stan­dards and is also capable of storing additional user adjustment parameters.

쮿

The monitor is capable of producing a non-interlaced maximum addressable resolu­tion format of 1800 dots x 1440 lines. This display is well suited for windowing envi­ronments.

쮿

Because of the analog signal inputs, the monitor can display an unlimited palette of
colors that can be manually adjusted to suit your specific needs.

쮿

The monitor has a power management function according to VESA

TM

-DPMSTM stan­dard. To save energy, the monitor must be connected to a system compliant with
this standard. (Refer to your computer and/or graphics board instructions for proper
operation.)

쮿

To ensure the easy installation and operation of this monitor, an on-screen display
(OSD) presents all of the functions for setup and adjustment.

쮿

The monitor complies with the safety standards UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No.950 and
EN60950; FCC Class-B, VCCI Class-B and EN55022 Class-B for EMI; MPR-II; and with

Introduction

the ergonomics standards ISO 9241-3, ISO9241-7 and ISO9241-8. The monitor also
complies with TCO’99 guideline for environmentally friendly use.

쮿

Digital chassis design for lighter, more compact housing and improved display per­formance.

쮿

The world standard DIAMONDTRON tube upgraded with improved focus and con­vergence for supersharp and pure picture images.

쮿

Monitor installation

The

ECOMO 22H99

supports USB and is provided with special software. In this chapter
you will learn more about USB and how to install the monitor under your operating sys­tem.

The USB function under Windows

What does USB stand for?

USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus“ and defines a new interface standard which is
clearly more convenient for the PC user. This increased convenience concerns the con­nection and configuration of peripheral devices. Up to 127 peripherals such as keyboard,
mouse, modem removable drives and digital cameras for videoconferencing can be con­nected to a USB system. With USB, each peripheral device is configured automatically.

The USB standard defines an uniform connector type, making special cables, proprietary
connectors and interfaces and special installation software unnecessary. This eliminates
the all-too-familiar cable spaghetti that can result and the risk of hardware damage due
to an incorrect connection. The fact that all the devices can be connected to each
other—similar to a network—is also a great advantage. It means a high degree of flex­ibility when planning the layout of the devices: Not all peripheral devices have to be con­nected centrally to the computer.

Who can use USB?

The USB function is available to you if your hardware and operating system support USB.
In this case, it is the Windows system that checks the hardware, sets up the USB and
controls the attached devices.

USB support is already integrated in Windows 98. This may be different with older ver­sions of Windows 95, as not all versions support USB.

The USB connection

A USB cable for connecting your monitor to your computer is supplied. The following dia­gram shows the various options possible within a USB system:

If you use the supplied USB cable to connect your computer and ELSA monitor, it is rec­ommended that you place the accompanying ferrous core around the cable. This core
reduces the electromagnetic interference from the monitor which would otherwise det­rimentally effect the signal transmission.

햲

Place the ferrous core around the cable. Make sure that the separation between the
core and the monitor’s USB socket is at least 3 cm.

햳

Squeeze the core closed until it snaps shut.

All under control

Among other things it is possible to configure the monitor conveniently via software. A
program with which you can configure the main display settings directly is included with
your ELSA monitor.

USB monitor installation

When you insert the supplied CD, the ELSA setup program usually starts up automati­cally. After you have specified the monitor type, you can select the component to be
installed in the list and click on

Install

.

If the program does not automatically start after the CD is inserted, you should run it man­ually. Select the CD drive in Explorer and start the CDSETUP.EXE program in the root
directory of the CD.

Configuring the display with a USB monitor

After the installation you will find the USB monitor in the Control Panel under Display
Properties. Select

Configuration using sliders is easy and intuitive. The resulting effects are displayed
immediately.

If you want to make display corrections in small increments you can use the arrow keys
(a) instead of the mouse to change the values gradually.

Feel free to experiment and try out the different possibilities. The settings are only saved
when you confirm them by pressing

After switching on

Plug&Play

Modern graphics boards and the

ECOMO 22H99

can communicate using the DDC (Dis-

play Data Channel). The

ECOMO 22H99

can send its parameters to the graphics board
and, in turn, the graphics board ensures that the monitor operates at the highest possible
refresh rate for the resolution selected. This means that you will immediately get a pic­ture that requires only minor adjustment. Check the fine tuning of the picture and make
adjustments for the relative light levels within your working environment.

You will now find out what settings are possible and how to solve any problems.

Language

The

An optimized working environment

You have already taken a significant step towards this goal: you have acquired a monitor
with technology guaranteeing optimized ergonomics and a minimum of stress at your
place of work. Equally important is the overall arrangement of your working environment,
which includes some basic rules about working with a monitor.

The ELSA ECOMO 22H99 complies with the latest EU ergonomics guidelines (90/270/
EEC) for work places with monitors, which came into effect on the 1.1.97.

Monitor picture quality

The screen must display a stable picture. How can you check this? Simply focus on a
fixed point next to your screen. If you can see a perceptible flickering of the picture, you
can try and adjust the brightness and contrast to stabilize the picture. If this does not
help, then try to increase the display refresh rate with your graphics card driver.

Tips for an ergonomic working environment

Lighting in your working environment

The lighting in your place of work should not perceptibly flicker. Avoid placing monitors
directly next to windows and be sure that there is the possibility to reduce the intrusion
of strong sunlight such as with a blind. When arranging desks, make sure that the direc­tion of view is parallel with the lighting. The direction of view to the monitor should be
parallel to the windows. Glare and reflections can be reduced by an anti-reflective layer
(Lambda/4 anti-reflection) on the screen.

You can check whether or not your place of work meets these basic rules:

쮿

Are you facing a window when looking at your monitor?

쮿

Does your monitor screen show any reflections from windows or lighting?

An optimized working environment

ELSA ECOMO 22H99

24

The work desk

The top of the work desk should be at a height of 72cm. The desk top should be around
80 cm deep and of sufficient length. There should be a suitable separation between the
operator and the monitor which, for a 17" monitor, is recommended to be at least 45cm
and for a 21“ monitor, should be about 80cm.

The seating position

The seating position is most important for work in comfort and without problems. A rule
of thumb is: sit with a straight back and ensure that your arms and legs are bent at appro­ximately 90°. Your feet should also rest flat on the floor.

It is important that you frequently shift your seating position – to practice the so-called
"dynamic sitting" – and that you stand up once in a while.

The monitor position

The

ECOMO 22H99

can be tilted and swiveled so
that you can set up the monitor position to your
liking.

When swiveling or tilting, please support the
monitor with both hands

When selecting the monitor position, be sure not to place it directly on the computer hou­sing.

Cleaning your monitor

When cleaning the monitor, please follow these guidelines:

쮿

Always unplug the monitor before cleaning

쮿

Wipe the screen and cabinet front and sides with a soft cloth

쮿

If the screen requires more than dusting, apply household window cleaner to a soft
cloth to clean the monitor screen

Do not use benzene, thinner or any volatile substances to clean the unit as the finish may
be permanently marked. Never leave the monitor in contact with rubber or vinyl for an
extended period.

will automatically reduce
power consumption in three stages if the monitor is connected to a graphics board com­plying with VESA DPMS. You can set the delay time before the monitor enters the power
saving mode using the on-screen menu.

The following table gives you an overview.

Factory settings

To minimize the need for adjustment, the factory has preset popular display standards
into the monitor. Picture size and centering are automatically adjusted if any of these dis­play standards is detected. All the factory presets may be overwritten by adjusting the
user controls. The monitor is capable of automatically storing up to 12 additional display
standards. The new display information must differ from any of the existing display stan­dards by at least 1kHz for the horizontal scan frequency or 5 Hz for the vertical scan fre­quency or the sync signal polarities must be different.

Appendix

TCO '99

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your
choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase
has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for
encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem,
as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmen­tally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture.
Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equip­ment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels,
that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external)
environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital
to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and
thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for interna­tional and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was
developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional
Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conserva­tion) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability,
emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire
safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy met­als, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents,
among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is
obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where
the company implements its operational policy.

ELSA ECOMO 22H99

32

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a cer­tain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or
more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the
user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of
the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good
usability.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this prod­uct. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements
Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires,
casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire.
Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances.
Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chem­ically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants
containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health
effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio­accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and
researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25
grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine.
Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are avail­able.

Cadmium* *

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating
layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic
in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generat­ing layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not con­tain any cadmium.

Mercury* *

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages

the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states

ELSA ECOMO 22H99

33

that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present
in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may
be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are some­times used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby dam­age the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of
ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a con­sequence.

Lead* *

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors.
Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The rele­vant TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been
developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms
** Lead, cadmium and mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

the warranty conditions provided by law and in accordance with the following conditions:

1 Warranty coverage

a) The warranty covers the equipment delivered and all its parts. Parts will, at our sole discretion, be

replaced or repaired free of charge if, despite proven proper handling and adherence to the operat­ing instructions, these parts became defective due to fabrication and/or material defects. Also we
reserve the right to replace the defective product by a successor product or repay the original pur­chase price to the buyer in exchange to the defective product. Operating manuals and possibly sup­plied software are excluded from the warranty.

b) Material and service charges shall be covered by us, but not shipping and handling costs involved

in transport from the buyer to the service station and/or to us.
c) Replaced parts become property of ELSA.
d) ELSA are authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g. firmware updates) beyond repair and re-

placement of defective parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current technical state. This

does not result in any additional charge for the customer. A legal claim to this service does not ex-

ist.

2 Warranty period

The warranty period for ELSA products is six years. Excepted from this warranty period are ELSA color
monitors and ELSA videoconferencing systems with a warranty period of 3 years. This period begins at
the day of delivery from the ELSA dealer. Warranty services do not result in an extension of the warranty
period nor do they initiate a new warranty period. The warranty period for installed replacement parts
ends with the warranty period of the device as a whole.

3 Warranty procedure

a) If defects appear during the warranty period, the warranty claims must be made immediately, at

the latest within a period of 7 days.
b) In the case of any externally visible damage arising from transport (e.g. damage to the housing), the

transport company representative and ELSA should be informed immediately. On discovery of dam-

age which is not externally visible, the transport company and ELSA are to be immediately informed

in writing, at the latest within 7 days of delivery.
c) Transport to and from the location where the warranty claim is accepted and/or the repaired device

is exchanged, is at the purchaser's own risk and cost.
d) Warranty claims are only valid if the original purchase receipt is returned with the device.

4 Suspension of the warranty

All warranty claims will be deemed invalid

a) if the device is damaged or destroyed as a result of acts of nature or by environmental influences

(moisture, electric shock, dust, etc.),
b) if the device was stored or operated under conditions not in compliance with the technical specifi-

cations,

ELSA ECOMO 22H99

38

c) if the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially to non-observance of the system de-

scription and the operating instructions,
d) if the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not authorized by ELSA,
e) if the device shows any kind of mechanical damage,
f) if in the case of an ELSA Monitor, damage to the cathode ray tube (CRT) has been caused especially

by mechanical load (e.g. from shock to the pitch mask assembly or damage to the glass tube), by

strong magnetic fields near the CRT (colored dots on the screen), or through the permanent display

of an unchanging image (phosphor burnt),
g) if, and in as far as, the luminance of the TFT panel backlighting gradually decreases with time, or
h) if the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with 3a) or 3b).

5 Operating mistakes

If it becomes apparent that the reported malfunction of the device has been caused by unsuitable soft­ware, hardware, installation or operation, ELSA reserves the right to charge the purchaser for the result­ing testing costs.

6 Additional regulations

a) The above conditions define the complete scope of ELSA’s legal liability.
b) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as any refund in full or in part. Com-

pensation claims, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g. injury to

persons or damage to private property are specifically covered by the product liability law, or in cas-

es of intentional act or culpable negligence.
c) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequential detriments, are excluded.
d) ELSA is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in cases of slight and ordinary negligence.
e) In the case that the intentional or culpable negligence of ELSA employees has caused a loss of data,

ELSA will be liable for those costs typical to the recovery of data where periodic security data back-

ups have been made.
f) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not transferable.
g) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the case that the purchaser is a merchant.

If the purchaser does not have a court of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany or if he

moves his domicile out of Germany after conclusion of the contract, ELSA’s court of jurisdiction ap-

plies. This is also applicable if the purchaser's domicile is not known at the time of institution of

proceedings.
h) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The UN commercial law does not apply

to dealings between ELSA and the purchaser.
