We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the display:

• Position the display within ±40° of the vertical

• If (a) the display is not positioned within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C,

or (c) the display is used in a location with minimal ventilation, then install an external fan to increase

airflow upwards through the chassis

Important Safety Precaution:

Even though the display is rated to operate within the IEC 60945standard of -15 to 55°C for bridge applications,

it is best to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will significantly increase the

lifespan of your display and reduce service costs.

Placement Guidelines

Before installing and mounting the MD-219 display, please read the following notes:

1. The MD-219 series is designed for various installation or mounting methods, including desktop mounting,

panel mounting, and VESA mounting. Please refer to the relevant mechanical drawings in the next sections.

2. Good ventilation is necessary to prolong the life of the product. The chassis heat-sink area MUST keep clear

from other heat generating items, or the motherboard could be damaged. The minimum distance is 150

mm.

3. Keep sufficient space for ventilation improvement, cable inlet or wiring installation, and maintenance

purposes.

4. DO NOT install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), since the heat from inside the unit will not

dissipate effectively, resulting in damage to the LCD panel. We recommend installing the unit in a vertical

position (±30 degrees) for better heat dissipation.

5. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and

under certain circumstances might cause the temperature to increase beyond the recommended value. Be

sure to keep this point in mind when planning the placement of bridge equipment (sun shades, distance

from the windows, ventilation, etc.).

6. Exposure to strong vibration or acoustic noise might affect functionality and expected lifetime. During

system assembly and installation, be sure to mount the display carefully to avoid exposure to amplified

vibrations.

7. For maximum safety, at least two people should work together to lift, place, and fasten the display to its

mounting point. Before you lift or move the display, first verify that any power to the system is turned off.

In addition, make sure you have prepared the correct screws for panel mounting.

Installation Notes

Follow these steps when installing the MD-219:

1. Fasten the mounting kit on the display first, and then mount the display.

2. Connect cables (DVI-D, VGA, Power cord, etc).

3. Power on the MD-219 display, and then power on the computer.

MD-219 Hardware Manual Hardware Connection Description

Desktop Mounting

The MD-219 comes with optional brackets that allow you to install it on a horizontal surface, such as a desktop.

Three round screws are required for each bracket. See the figure below for detailed screw specifications and

their torque values.

Place your MD-219 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, leave some space between

the MD-219 Series and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the MD-219, as this might

damage the display’s internal components.

NOTE

These desktop brackets are intended for temporary use when conducting lab tests, and are not intended to be

used in permanent deployments.

MD-219 Hardware Manual Hardware Connection Description

Panel Mounting

The

MD-219 Series comes with 14 optional clamp

mounts that allow for installation onto a wall (where

space has been cut out to accommodate the rest of

the hardware) or into computing stations where a

flush mount is desired. The maximum thickness

of the surface to wh

ich the display can be

clamped is 11 mm. For a secure mounting, all 14

clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened

into slots o

n all four sides of the MD-219. Use the

short M4 SUS

(stainless) screws to

fasten the clamp

arms to the MD

-219 mounting slot

s, as shown in the

magnified inset in the diagram just below. Next, use

the clamps to fasten the

display to its mounting

point; please note the torque value

s shown in the

figure inset

below.

VESA Mounting

The MD

-219 Series also comes with an

optional VESA mounting kit. Six flat screws

and four round screws are required to fasten

the VESA mounting bracket. See the figure

below for detailed screw specifications and

torque values.

An additional four screws (not included

in

the kit) are required to mount the

display

on

a VESA rack. For this purpose, use M6

screws with a length between 10 and 12

mm.

Safety Precautions

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before ins

talling and/or wiring your MD-219 Series.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes

dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.

If the current goes above the

maximum ratings,

the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and

consequently the outer casing may feel hot

to the touch.

We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat

build-up within the display:

•

Position the display within ±40° of the vertical.

•

Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the display if (a) the display is not

positioned

within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, or (c) the display is used in a

location with minimal ventilation.

Important Safety Precaution

Even though the display is rated to operate within the

IEC 60945 standard of -15 to 55°C for marine

applications, it is best to ensure

that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will

increase the

life of your display and minimize service costs.

Grounding the MD-219 Series

Be sure to ground the MD-219 Series before powering it on. Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects

of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the

grounding surface prior to connecting the power.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well

-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Earth Ground: See the figure shown below for the location of the earth grounding connector. Connect the

grounding wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.
