Important Information

Warnings and Safety Precaution

The NEC Multimedia monitor PlasmaSync 5000W is designed and manufactured to provide long, troub lefree service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface. The plasma display panel consists of fine picture elements or pixels (cells). Although NEC produces plasma display panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells, there can be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. For operating safety and to a v oid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions.

To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves. The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install the unit in a an enclosure, be sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer for service.

2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.

4. Av oid damage to the power cord , and do not attempt to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages greater than 100240 Volts A C will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not

Precautions

drop.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized NEC Service Center .

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained, authorized NEC dealer.

7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma displays, PlasmaSync monitors can be susceptible to phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in this NEC PlasmaSync monitor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:

• Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver

function during use with a computer input source.

• Display a moving image whenever possible.

• Always power down the monitor when you are finished

using it.

If the PlasmaSync monitor is in long term use or continuous operation take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of phosphor burn:

• Lower the Brightness and Contrast le vels as much as pos-

sible without impairing image readability.

• Display an image with many colors and color gradations

(ie. photographic or photo-realistic images).

• Create image content with minimal contrast between light

and dark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.

• Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.

Contact NEC affiliates on authorized dealer for other recommended procedures that will best suit your particular application needs.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Application

These specifications cover the communications control of the PlasmaSync 5000W by external equipment.

Connections

Connections are made as described below.

2) Connector on the external equipment side: Serial port (RS-232C) connector See the specifications of the equipment that is to be connected for the type of connector and the pin assignment.

3) Wiring

Use a crossed (reverse) cable.

Wire the cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the two devices. These data line pairs are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side r eady), and R TS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).

Communication Format

Command 1 Unit ID 1 Unit ID 2 Command 2 Data length Data Check sum

Command 1

Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to distinguish each command. In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and data of the supported equipment have been received. When the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this indicates that unsupported commands and data have been received.

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2

Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the equipment that is to be connected. 60H is used for the PlasmaSync 5000W and 80H is used for external control equipment such as a personal computer.

1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal

2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal

Command 2

Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to distinguish each command.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK

1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd parity are used together for a check of the received data. The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of sent or received data comprising the sum total of Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data Length, and Data.

Total 208H

▲

2) Error Processing

• When the communication interval is vacant for more than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be recognized.

If, at this time, meaningful data cannot be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as valid data).

• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive da ta err or, the check sum error, and the receive data are all taken in.

Running Sense

Communications Flow

The PlasmaSync 5000W regularly transmits a Running Sense command at an interval of approximately 1 second. (Running Sense command: 1FH 60H E0H 88H 00H E7H) This command is used to recognize optional equipment. The return of an ACK is not required when external equipment such as a personal computer has been connected. Note that destruction of this data is recommended when it is taken in.

When various commands are to be sent from external equipment such as a personal computer, the PlasmaSync 5000W is always receive enabled. Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the PlasmaSync 5000W in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the command is recommended.
