DESCRIPTION
The PMCS15A, PMCS17A, and PMCS19A are super-high resolution color monitors. All monitors have
computer-grade picture tubes. The PMCS15A and PMCS17A produce horizontal resolution of 700 TV
lines and PMCS19A produces 800 TV lines. Standard high resolution monitors produce only about 350
TV lines.
The monitors automatically detect the power supply input (90-260 VAC, 50/60 Hz).
Models
PMCS15A Super-high resolution color monitor, 15-inch (38.10 cm)
PMCS17A Super-high resolution color monitor, 17-inch (43.18 cm)
PMCS19A Super-high resolution color monitor, 19-inch (48.26 cm)

If the installation requires a second video input, connect a video cable to the BNC video input labeled V2 IN.
b. Looping Operation Only - Connect a video cable to the BNC connector labeled V1 OUT. If the in-
stallation requires a second video output, connect a video cable to the BNC video output labeled
V2 OUT. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
2. Impedance Switch Setting
a. Terminating Operation Only - Set the termination switch to 75Ω position.
b. Looping Operation Only - Set the impedance switch to the V1-HI and V2-HI positions. Refer to
Figures 2 and 3.
3. Plug the power cord (provided) into the AC INLET connection on the back panel. Plug the other end
of the cord into a power receptacle.
