Figure 1 1: LCD-KIT Series

The LCD-KIT series LCD monitor is the latest member of IEI’s line of sophisticated LCD
designs, and it has been improved to be RoHS compliant. It is designed to fit industrial
automation, or any other applications that require minimum installation space and
flexible configuration. Flexible analog or digital interfaces are provided for ease of
connection with a management computer. If remote/non-attentive control is preferred,
RS-232 or USB interfaces can be used with customized adapter cables.

1.2 Features

The LCD-KIT series have the following standard features:

 Analog VGA interface supports most general system boards
 350 nits (LCD-KIT170) / 400 nits (LCD-KIT150) high brightness
 Over 50,000 hrs MTBF long lifetime panel
 Advanced thermal and air-flow design
 Supports panel mounting
 12 V DC power input via adapter
 M models have 9~36 V DC power connector
 Long product life support
 RoHS compliant

Page 22

5.1 Installation Precautions

When installing the LCD-KIT series LCD monitor, please follow the precautions listed
below:

 Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of

the LCD-KIT series LCD monitor, installation instructions and configuration
options.

 DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the LCD monitor must be

disconnected when installing the LCD-KIT series LCD monitor, or before any
attempt is made to access the rear panel. Electric shock and personal injury
might occur if the rear panel of the monitor is opened while the power cord is
still connected to an electrical outlet.

 Qualified Personnel: The LCD-KIT series LCD monitor must be installed and

operated only by trained and qualif ied pers onn el. Ma intenanc e , upgr ad es , or
repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with
the associated dangers.

 Mounting: Since the monitor may weigh up to 10 kg (not including a swing

arm or other accessories), please ensure at least two people assist with
mounting the monitor.

 Air Circulation: Make sure there is sufficient air circulation when installing the

monitor. The monitor’s cooling vents must not be obstructed by any objects.
Blocking the vents can cause overheating of the monitor. Leave at least 5 cm
of clearance around the monitor to prevent overheating.

 Grounding: The monitor should be properly grounded. The voltage feeds

must not be overloaded. Adjust the cabling and provide external overcharge
protection per the electrical values indicated on the label attached to the back
of the monitor.

 Anti-static Discharge: The rear panel of the monitor must to be removed to

configure the monitor’s AD board voltage select jumper. When doing so, be
sure the monitor is disconnected from its power source and take all necessary
safety precautions to avoid electrocution and static discharge to the AD board.
The use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is
recommended.

5.2 Unpacking

5.2.1 Packaging

When shipped, the LCD-KIT series LCD monitor is wrapped in a plastic bag. Two
polystyrene ends are placed on either side of t he monitor. The monitor is then pl a c ed i nto
a first (internal) cardboard box. This box is then sealed and placed into a second (external)
cardboard box. The second box is also sealed. A bag containing accessory items is
placed with the monitor in the internal (first) box.

5.2.2 Unpacking Procedure

B Safety Precautions

LCD-KIT

Page 45

WARNING:

The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow thes e pr ecaut ions may result in permanent dam age to
the LCD-KIT Series.

B.1 Safety Precautions

Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:

B.1.1 General Safety Precautions

Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.

 Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the LCD-KIT

Series is opened.

 Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected

whenever the LCD-KIT Series is being installed, moved or modified.

 Do not apply voltage levels that exce ed the specified voltage range.

Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.

 Electric shocks can occur if the LCD-KIT Series chassis is opened when

the LCD-KIT Series is running.

 Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the

LCD-KIT Series.

 If considerable amounts of dust, wa ter, or fluids enter the LCD-KIT Series,

turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
LCD-KIT Series vendor.

 DO NOT:

o Drop the LCD-KIT Series against a hard surface.
o Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature

B.1.2 Anti-s tatic Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take E SD precautions during th e installation of the LCD-KIT
Series may result in permanent damage to the LCD-KIT Series and
severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the LCD-KIT Series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the LCD-KIT Series is opened and an y of the electrical
components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

 Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.

 Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any

grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical

component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.

 Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the

electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.

B.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions

When maintaining or cleaning the LCD-KIT Series, please follow the guidelines below.

B.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning

Prior to cleaning any part or component of the LCD-KIT Series, please read the details
below.

LCD-KIT

Page 47

 Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other

components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.

 The interior of the LCD-KIT Series does not require cleaning. Keep fluids

away from the LCD-KIT Series interior.

 Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the LCD-KIT

Series.

 Turn the LCD-KIT Series off before cleaning the LCD-KIT Series.
 Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the LCD-KIT Series.
 Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used

when cleaning the LCD-KIT Series.

 Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the LCD-KIT Series.

B.2.2 Cleaning Tools

Some components in the LCD-KIT Series may only be cleaned using a product
specifically designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned
in the cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the LCD-KIT Series.

 Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of

cloth is recommended when cleaning the LCD-KIT Series.

 Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol

can be used to clean the LCD-KIT Series.

 Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the

LCD-KIT Series as they may damage the plastic parts.

 Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is

one of the best methods of cleaning the LCD-KIT Series. Dust and dirt can
restrict the airflow in the LCD-KIT Series and cause its circuitry to corrode.

 Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are

excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.

 Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as

foam swabs for cleaning.
