Important Safety Instructions

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one blade wider than the
other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the points where they exit from
the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power­supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

16. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

17. Installation should be done only by qualified personnel and conform to all local codes.

18. Unless this unit is specifically marked as NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure, it is designed for indoor use only and it must not
be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.

19. Only use installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum specified load.

20. Only use replacement parts recommended by Pelco.

21. Avoid touching the screen directly with your fingers as the oils from your skin may be difficult to remove from the LCD.

22. Do not apply direvect pressure on the screen.

23. Keep the monitor in a dust-free environment and away from strong electromagnetic fields.

24. Do not use attachments, such as mounts, that are not recommended by Pelco. They may be hazardous.

25. Do not place the monitor on an unstable stand, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious damage to the unit or injury to a
person. Only use mounts recommended by Pelco.

26. A CCC-approved power cord must be used to power this equipment when used in China.

27. A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the LCD panel. Watching the LCD in 4:3 format for a long time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Using a
camera or a system may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by this effect are not covered by the warranty.

The product and/or manual may bear the following marks:

This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is

present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in

the literature accompanying this unit.

Description

The 500 Series high performance LCD monitors are designed specifically for the security industry and provide high quality display of video or
computer signals using multiple inputs. Adjustments of standard monitor display parameters are made using user-friendly, on-screen menus and
front panel controls.

For viewing multiple cameras simultaneously in high-definition quality on the LCD monitor, Pelco recommends using PMVC4 and PMVR2
multiviewers. The PMVC4 can accept up to four composite inputs while the PMVR2 can accept up to two DVI or VGA inputs. Both models can be
mixed and matched and cascaded together (daisy-chained) to put as many as 60 images of varying window sizes on the screen in clear HD
quality. This method eliminates the need of having multiple CRTs or smaller LCD monitors in racks to monitor security video. One or two LCD
monitors and a number of multiviewers can accomplish the same end with less space, less energy, and more versatility.

Installation

MOUNTING

The monitor can be placed on any flat surface (desk or table), or it can be wall mounted.

• For the 23-, 26-, and 32-inch models, Pelco recommends the PMCL-CM or PMCL-CMP ceiling mount and the PMCL-WM1A or PMCL-WM2A
articulating wall mounts. The 32-inch model LCD monitor requires an adapter plate (PMCL-V200) to make these mounts compatible.

• The 37- and 42-inch models use a PMCP-WM wall mount or a PMCP-WMT wall mount. The ceiling mount requires a PMCL-VA adapter
plate for the 37- and 42-inch models. Check the Pelco Web site (www.pelco.com) or contact a sales representative for available mounts as
of the publication date of this manual.

DESKTOP STAND

You can remove the desktop stand by removing the four screws that attach the stand to the back of the monitor (refer to Figure 2).

NOTES:

• RGB is also referred to as VGA or PC connector in the video security market. We use the term RGB in this manual, in the menu, and on the
remote control. The RGB connector is a D-sub 15-pin female plug. RGB is analog but provides a clear, sharp picture. It can carry either
standard or HDTV formats.

• Component is not commonly used in the video security industry. It uses three RCA cables: red, green, and blue for better color separation
and a superior picture over composite. Component is an analog format that can carry standard and high-definition video and is most
commonly found on DVD players. To receive audio, you must connect the DVD output to the audio input.

®

• Digital Video Interface (DVI) provides the best picture. It is used in Pelco products such as Endura

, PMVR2, PMVC4, PL outputs, DVD
players, and satellite boxes. Since the signal received and monitor are both digital, no conversion occurs to degrade the signal. Pelco
recommends using multiviewers (PMVR2, PMVC4) with the 500 Series monitors using DVI. The 500 Series uses a DVI-D interface, so DVI-I
cables will not work. DVI can carry either standard or HDTV formats.
