INSTALLATION
General Installation and Mounting Instructions
General Installation and Mounting
• Our displays are designed for various installation mountings (panel mounting, bracket
mounting and VESA mounting). For details please see our installation drawings.
• When mounting the display in a confined area, i.e. console, adequate ventilation must
be provided to limit the maximum temperature to 55°C.
• The distance of each electronics unit from the magnetic standard compass or the
gnetic steering compass must not be less than the permitted safe compass distance
ma
of the device. See the safe compass distance later in this section.
• The maximum cable lengths must not exceed the recommended industry
recommended lengths.
• The display must be properly grounded. A short wide cable (braid) gives the best
results.
• For ECDIS applications, the calculated nominal recommended viewing distance is
1,013 mm. (IEC62288, Part 7.5 Screen resolution).
Mounting Instructions
The display can be mounted to a custom mounting bracket (not supplied), panel mounted
or VESA mounted. The following is a list the required mounting hardware (not supplied):
Panel mounting x4 - 6.2mm Dia. holes left and right sides
Panel mounting x4 – m6 inserts on rear top and bottom
VESA mounting x4 – m4 inserts on rear cover
Bracket mounting x8 – m6 inserts, 4 per side on rear cover

Mating Side
Cables
Only high quality shielded signal cables should be used. Video cables should be kept as
short as possible to preserve the quality of the video signal. The maximum signal cable
length will depend on the signal type, resolution and frequency, in addition to the quality of
the signal output of the video source.
DC power input connector assembly
The mating two pin DC Power connector, two contacts and back shell are available
separately. For installation follow the followi
ng procedure.
1. Select the smallest compression insert that will fit over the DC power wires
2. Insert the wires through the compression insert.
NOTE: Wires must be properly sized to support the current related to the input
voltage being used and the length of the wires.
3. Solder the contacts to the +24 VDC wire and the 24 VDC return wire.
4. Insert the contacts into the connector housing noting the proper polarity.
5. Open the back shell by removing the two cover screws.
6. Assemble the connector and back shell as shown below

ECDIS OPERATION
The remote brightness pot must be disconnected for ECDIS operation.
This Display has been calibrated for ECDIS operation at the factory and is provided along
with an ECDIS Color Calibration CD containing the ECDIS information and color tables.
Setting Controls for route monitoring
It is important that the display be adapted to lighting conditions on the bridge by selecting
the correct color table (Day, Dusk or Night).
The controls should only be used for
In-addition to the external backlight brightness controls readily available to the mariner, the
LCD Display has internal controls, under the On Screen Display (OSD), available for
service engineers. These controls are the contrast and video brightness adjustments.
fine adjustment within the appropriate color table.
NOTE: Use of the Video Brightness and Contrast controls may inhibit
visibility of ECDIS information, particularly when using the
night color table
s
To ensure that the controls are always set to a level above that at which information will be
lost, the black-adjust symbol BLKADJ (ref. IHO document S-52) shall be used as follows:
1 First set the backlight brightness to the calibrated position. Look at the black-
adjust symbol. Then either:
2A If the center square is not visible, turn up the backlight brightness until it just
appears.
2B If the center square is clearly visible, turn down the brilliance
square disappears, then turn the backlight brightness back up until the inner
square is just visible again.
(If the above adjustment is not successful, select a more appropriate color table and repeat
this procedure.)
The “black level” is now correctly set. If a brighter display is required use the backlight
brightness control, but it is better not to re-adjust the controls unless lighting conditions on
the bridge change.
Note that the bl

Color Differentiation Test Diagram Test
A multi-purpose color differentiation test diagram is illustrated in the IHO ECDIS
Presentation Library, Part I, section 15.4. It consists of 20 squares eac
of four main background colors and each having a diagonal line in one of six foreground
colors. Each diagonal line is two pixels wide.

h colored
with one
The diagram is in the form of an ENC and so can be displayed using any of the three color
tables.
The color tables should be checked subjectively by means of the color differentiation test
diagram as follows:
1. The person carrying out the test should have passed the Isihara color blindness
test, or other test used to qualify bridge watch keepers, and should adapt to night
viewing for 10 minutes before checking the night display.
2. The controls should be s
et to their calibrated settings.
3. Under the current ambient condition, display the appropriate color differentiation test
diagram. Select each table and ensure that:
- Each foreground diagonal line is clearly distinguished from its background.
- The foreground lines representing yellow, orange, magenta (purple), green,
blue and grey may be clearly identified.
Grayscale Test
The Grayscale test is a visual test that is used to determine the color tracking of the display.
It requires judgment on the part of the operator to use.
The Grayscale shall consist of at least 8 steps from black to white on the screen. The
