Scan device changes

a) The Pioneer badge need no longer be removed during installation.

¶ In this manual, the frame of the handwriting device that houses the sensor is referred to as a scan device.

b) Instead of a 3 m RS-232C cable, a 1.4 m hard-wired USB cable is supplied.

1. The cable exit has been modified. ] See page 10.

¶ An RS-232C connector is no longer provided.

¶ The absence of connectors on the rear panel makes it possible to use fittings for installation on sloping surfaces.

2. Power is supplied through USB bus power.

¶ The scan device is not provided with a power switch or a DC connector.

¶ An AC adapter and a power cable are not provided.

¶ Power consumption has been reduced from 6 V, 1 A to 5 V, 0.5 A (max.).

c) New design

Set the mode switch in accordance with whether you will use the special pen or other device to input characters and lines on the screen.

PEN Mode:

In this mode, the special accessory pen can be used to write on the screen. Using the special pen allows the drawing of more clearly delineated characters and lines.

NORMAL Mode:

In this mode, your finger or other object can be used to write on the screen. This mode will produce lower screen definition, however, compared to drawing with the dedicated input pen.

If pen operation becomes difficult:

The pen may fail to operate properly if the holes in rear

end of pen are blocked. Also, the pen may begin

operating erratically when the battery becomes depleted.

In this event, change the battery at your earliest

opportunity.

Confirming Battery Life:

When the small button is depressed fully, an LED

indicator will light. If the indicator fails to light, or lights

only dimly, the battery is depleted and should be

replaced.

2.1 Installation Site

The installation site precautions for the handwriting device are the same as those for the PDP-504CMX/PDP-50MXE1/

PDP-50MXE1-S. For details, refer to “Installation Site Requirements” in the Technical Manual of the PDP-504CMX/PDP-

50MXE1/PDP-50MXE1-S.

2.2 Installation Conditions

For information on calculation of heat generation and heat dissipation, installation site and installation on uneven

surfaces, refer to “Installation Conditions” in the Technical Manual of the plasma display.

Installation is physically possible, but not recommended since the table top may not be too unstable to offer good support during pen input. Possible. Recommended standard product.

The handwriting device, if installed, blocks access for speaker installation brackets.

2. Installation Site

2.2.2 Special installations

Special installation conditions for the handwriting device are the same as for the plasma display. Refer to “Special

Installation” in the Technical Manual of the plasma display.

¶ Calculate the distance between the monitor and surroundings (wall, etc.) based on the maximum dimensions of the

scan device.

¶ The handwriting device can be tilted in the range between horizontal, upward-facing position and the 25° downward-

facing position. The following cautions are required in its installation.

Facing upward

¶ When the handwriting device is installed horizontally so that it faces upward, the user may tend to rest a hand on or

lean against the handwriting device frame. As imposing a weight on the frame may deform it, cause malfunction or

damage it, it is required to prevent it using a guard, etc. If you install a guard, however, you need to take ventilation of

the plasma display monitor in consideration.

¶ When the handwriting device is tilted, the user should watch the screen obliquely and, in this case, the position of the

pen tip and that of the displayed pointer may look deviated. Note that the calibration in the detailed setting mode of

the driver cannot be adjusted correctly unless it is performed from the actual direction of the user’s view. The

adjustment may sometimes be easier when it is performed in simplified setting rather than in the detailed setting

mode.

¶ When the handwriting device is installed horizontally so that it faces upward, the risk of causing damage or

malfunction by dropping a foreign object on the screen increases. The foreign object may for example include a liquid

(juice, coffee, detergent, etc.) spilt on it, the hem of the user’s necktie or shirt in contact with it, and dust that may

cause sensor malfunction. Also, someone may use the horizontal screen in place of a table. Always take their

prevention in consideration when installing the handwriting device horizontally.

2. Installation Site

2.2.3 Installation precautions

a) Installation of multiple systems

Since the dedicated handwriting pen of the system is designed to function as a switch by emitting ultrasound waves,

mutual interference may occur when more than one system is installed in proximity (the interference may also be

observed even when the areas are separated with a simple tool such as partitions). In this case, it is required to use the

systems in NORMAL mode.

Some of the installation examples in which mutual interference is expected are shown below.

¶ Adjacent installation

¶ Adjacent booths delimited with simple partitions

¶ Back-to-back installation across a simple partition

b) Exposure to direct sunlight

Normal lighting is not a problem, but installation in a location exposed to strong lighting and intense direct sunlight will make the plasma display difficult to view and make toucth screen device operation unstable. Installation in such a location will also make remote control operation erratic. Note that whereas normal fluorescent lighting does not emit infrared radiation, incandescent lamps emit a large amount of infrared radiation. When the system malfunctions due to the presence of strong lighting, move the light source away or change its orientation to prevent malfunction. Also, when equipment generating IR rays (electric stove, IR LAN, etc.) is located near the handwriting device, its operation is usually normal but may sometimes be rendered unstable under certain installation conditions. This needs to be checked in individual installations.

c) Ultrasonic waves

When equipment using ultrasonic waves (ultrasonic humidifier, ultrasonic-sensor door, ultrasonic eyeglass cleaner, etc.) is used near the handwriting device, its operation is usually normal but may be rendered unstable under certain installation conditions. This needs to be checked in individual installations.

3. Installation Procedures

3.1 Unpacking

3.1.1 Plasma display monitor (PDP-504CMX/PDP-50MXE1/PDP-50MXE1-S)

¶ Any transportation of the unopened unit in its packaging should be done by two or more persons. To avoid injury or

damage, do not lift the package by its packing bands.

¶ When transporting or storing the unit, always position it vertically - never horizontally. Horizontal transportation or

storage invalidates the product warranty.

¶ In transportation or storage of products in original packing, never stack more than four units high. This warning is also

indicated on the upper face of the carton.

¶ For transportation or storage, observe the warnings and instructions on the upper face of the carton.

¶ Plasma display monitor is mode off grass. Please take precations to prevent it from being dameged.
