changes to its conte nt at any time, without obligation to notify any person or entity of such revisions
or changes.
Image sticking: If the monitor is operated with static images (logo’s etc) it will inevitably lead to
images sticking on the display (like on old CRT’s). This is not a permanently situation and can be
removed by operating the monitor with a completely black screen.
FCC Warning
Computing devices and peripherals generate and radiate radi o frequency energy, and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions advised by ISIC A/S, it may cause
interference to radio communication.
The DuraMON series, manufactured by ISIC A/S, is designed to comply with the emerging generic
EEC standards, that cover applications in maritime environment.
Classification
The monitor is classified as “protected from the weather” according to IEC 60945 ed.4 (former class
b).
Approvals
Approval according to IACS E10 ed. 5 and IEC 60945 ed. 4, Maritime na vi gation and radio
communication equipment and systems – General requi re m en ts.
ISIC A/S is complying with the WEEE directive within the European Union, stating that electronic and
electric products must be collected separately.
Products are marked according to the directive.

1 Features
Congratulations on your purchase of a DuraMON product. This short form manual is designed to get
you started working with your new DuraMON.
The DuraMON series of monitors are all made as rugged monitors especially designed for the
demanding operating conditions at sea.
The DuraMON series are tested for full comp liance to marine-standards IACS E10 and IEC 60945.
The monitor comes with excellent brightness and contrast levels that ensure a good readability thus
making it very eye-friendly. For the best picture quality, always use a double shielded DVI cable
with ferrites, like the one supplied with the monitor.
Backlight LED technology
Direct dimming control (0-100%) from UP/DOWN buttons.
Full settings control via menu and limited settings over serial link or DDC.
Anti-glare coated glass.
IP65 protection and liquid resistant front.
It is important to notice that, when powered off, the product still consumes some power from the
mains. To cut off the power from the product it is necessary to unplug its power cord from the
mains.

2 General considerations on Installation and
Operation
The DuraMON is designed to work at conditions according to IEC 60945. However, keeping the
temperature and vibration level at a minimum will extend the life time of the product. ISIC
recommend operating this product at normal room temperature (20-25 ° C ), with the lowest level of
vibration and humidity.
Installation of the DuraMON
In order to obtain the best possible operating conditions, please note the following precautions.
- Room for cooling.
When designing the cabinet/console for the Dur a MON, please ensure that air can flow
freely around the cabinet, in order to avoid any unnecessary rise in temperature. If it is
not possib le to have an adequate natural airflow, use a fan to force the airflow to be
higher.
- Mounting positions
To obtain adequate cooling by convection ISI C r e c o mmends tha t the DuraMON is
mounted at least 30 degrees from horizontal. If this is not possible, forced cooling must
be applied directly to the unit in order not to overheat it.
- Sunlight
If the unit can be exposed to direct sunlight, there is a potential risk that the unit can be
overheated. Please take measures to prevent direct sunlight. Do also consider forced
cooling on the back of the unit.

Rev A Dec 2012 Release
18 Appendix A: Pixel policy
ISO 9241-307:2008 guidelines for LCD pixel defects
Introduction
TFT displays consist of a set number of pixels. Each pixel consists of 3 sub-pixels also called dots (one red,
one blue and one green). Every sub-pixel is addressed by its own transistor. As a result, the manufacturing
of glass substrate is very complex.
Due to the nature of this manufacturing process, occasional defects can occur. Pixel defects or failures
cannot be fixed or repaired and may occur at any stage during the service life of the TFT display.
To regulate the acceptability of defects and protect the end user, ISIC A/S complies with the ISO 9241307:2008 standard. This standard recommends how many defects are considered acceptable in a display,
before it should be replaced within the terms of the warranty.

ISIC TFT monitors comply with ISO 9241-307:2008 Class II.
Special agreements about other classifications can be made between ISIC A/S and the customer.
Measurement method/monitoring conditions for pixel defects
In compliance with the ISO-9241-307:2008 standard, the following conditions are observed:
• Final check for pixel fault undertaken right after burn-in, i.e. with pre-heating of the display.
• Surrounding temperature 25ºC ± 5ºC
• Relative air humidity 40–70%
Pixel definition
Every pixel consists of three sub-pixels/dots (red, blue, green).
Every sub-pixel has its own transistor.
The three sub-pixels/dots must be considered as one unit.
