VMD Series User Manual

Preface

Thank you for purchasing NEXCOM’s industrial-grade VMD 1000, the sunlight readable touch screen LVDS display panel designed to be the ultimate interactive display monitor for your VTC series, unleashing the multimedia capabilities of your VTC series.

The VMD 1000 connects to the VTC series with a special LVDS cable that integrates LVDS signals, USB connection, and power supply, all in one rugged, easy-to-connect cable. With this connection made, VMD 1000 acts as a remote power switch of VTC series (thanks to its power on/off button). Additionally, it has built-in USB ports, audio/mic inputs and outputs, 2 audio speakers onboard for built-in stereo sound, available automatic brightness adjustment (controlled by an onboard light sensor), and much more.

The specially designed touch screen, which is readable even under bright sunlight, makes it easy to use many functions of the VTC series. Moreover, the front panel is IP54-compliant, which means that it is dust protected and water-splash resistant. Furthermore, the 4 rubber protectors can be installed on the 4 corners as protection cushions.

RoHS Compliance

NEXCOM RoHS Environmental Policy and Status Update

NEXCOM is a global citizen for building the digital infrastructure. We are committed to providing green products and services, which are compliant with European Union RoHS (Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substance in Electronic Equipment) directive 2002/95/ EU, to be your trusted green partner and to protect our environment.

RoHS restricts the use of Lead (Pb) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Mercury (Hg) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% or 100ppm, Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) <

0.1% or 1,000ppm, and Polybrominated diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.1% or 1,000ppm.

In order to meet the RoHS compliant directives, NEXCOM has established an engineering and manufacturing task force in to implement the introduction of green products. The task force will ensure that we follow the standard NEXCOM development procedure and that all the new RoHS components and new manufacturing processes maintain the highest industry quality levels for which NEXCOM are renowned.

The model selection criteria will be based on market demand. Vendors and suppliers will ensure that all designed components will be RoHS compliant.

How to Recognize NEXCOM RoHS Products

For existing products where there are non-RoHS and RoHS versions, the suffix “(LF)” will be added to the compliant product name.

All new product models launched after January 2006 will be RoHS compliant. They will use the usual NEXCOM naming convention.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

▪ A Philips screwdriver ▪ A flat-tipped screwdriver ▪ A grounding strap ▪ An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections

Preface

as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Handling Precautions

▪ Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are

installing or fixing a component inside the chassis.

▪ If possible, always wear a grounded wrist strap when you are installing

or fixing a component inside the chassis. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.

▪ Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the

components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.

▪ Use the correct screws and do not overly tighten them. ▪ Keep the original packaging and static-protective bag in case the unit

has to be returned.
