Precautions
To maximize the life and safe use of your unit, always be sure to follow the
warnings, precautions and maintenance recommendations in this user’s guide.
In a Watercraft or Vehicle:
The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation, or •
system control. Care should be taken to ensure distraction does not occur.
Review all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations to make sure •
the monitor is used properly and safely.
Avoid using the monitor for extended times while the charging system is not •
running, or the monitor could drain the watercraft’s battery.
Cleaning the Monitor:
Use a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or window •
cleaners to clean the display housing.
Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to clean the unit.•
The LX0801PTI, LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI are high-performance, rugged touch
monitors intended for demanding environments, such as those aboard a watercraft.
The monitors feature a AMLCD TFT display with IR touchscreen, bright enough to
be read in daylight. The monitors include several mounting points for front or rear
mounting. The monitors are to be powered directly from circuit breaker protected
and switched 8-32 VDC power aboard the watercraft. The metal enclosure is IP-65,
designed to withstand liquid and dust intrusion. An optional cosmetic bezel is
included with each monitor.
Brightness control• allows you to easily adjust the display to match the
ambient light, from full sunlight to night.
The monitor’s • TFT display is optically bonded to the Touchscreen to
increase contrast ratio. Increased contrast ratio makes it easier to
read information displayed on the monitor.
The monitor’s • autosync function eliminates the need for adjusting the
monitor for the best image - the monitor automatically makes any needed
adjustments whenever it is powered up or the display mode is changed.
The monitor supports • standard VGA signal input:
LX0801PTI is 800 x 600 SVGA (native) and 640 x 480. •
LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI are 1024 x 768 (native), 800 x 600 and •
640 x 480.
The monitor’s IP-65 • enclosure protects from splashed water and dust. It
is designed to withstand shock and vibration for greater endurance and
reliability.
There are several mounting point features incorporated in the design of •
the enclosure to enable installation exibility.
Note: The LX0801PTI/LX1201PTI/LX1501PTI monitors do not have OSD controls
available from the front buttons. All OSD commands can be controlled via USB
cable from the host CPU (see Addendum A).
Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor:
The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation, •
system control or vehicle information. If the monitor will be used for other
purposes, it should be installed in such a way that it will only operate while the
watercraft is not moving.
Review all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations to make sure •
the monitor is used properly and safely.
The installed monitor must not interfere with the driver’s vision.•
Installing the monitor consists of three steps:
Attaching the monitor using one of the mounting interfaces built into the 1.
monitor’s enclosure.
Connecting the monitor to the computer and power source.2.
The back and sides of the monitor include mounting points that you can use to
mount the monitor as your installation requires.
Mounting holes on the LX0801PTI, LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI allow the monitor
to be mounted :
Front mounted using corner mounting holes•
Rear mounted using either VESA or edge mounting holes•
Side mounted using variegated bosses•

Use the proper M4 screws for attaching the monitor to the mounting xture.
Removing Bezel:
If you are ange mounting the monitor, it •
will be necessary to remove the decorative
bezel from the enclosure. As shown, insert a
narrow straight blade screw driver between
the bezel and enclosure near one of the
friction points. Pry upwards gently.
Once the monitor is mounted in place, connect it to the computer (or other
video source) and the regulated DC power supply as follows. Planar does not supply
a power supply. The monitor is intended to be powered from the watercraft’s DC
power system. Power to the monitor (and CPU) is hard switched from the line power
that should be protected by a magnetic hydraulic circuit breaker. DO NOT connect
the USB cable at this time!
Note: This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer.
However, depending on your particular hardware con guration, these
connections may be to a dock or other device rather than directly to
the computer.
Install IRtouch software on computer.1.
As needed, route any data and power cables from the computer to the 2.
monitor.
Make sure the computer is turned o . Connect video cable and USB cable.3.
Connect to the monitor’s power supply.4.
Note: Use a appropriately sized fuse in line to the power source. Also, to
prevent the watercraft’s battery from draining in standby mode, you should install a device that shuts o power to the monitor while the monitor is inactive. (An example is Lind Electronic’s Vehicle Battery Voltage Shutdown Timer - www.lindeletronic.com).
12VDC system: 4A slow blow fuse
24VDC system: 2A slow blow fuse
Turn on power to the computer and monitor. The monitor then turns on as 5.
soon as it receives a video signal from the computer, and its LED turns green.
Also, the rst time the monitor is powered up, it automatically displays a test
pattern of repeating colored screens (black, white, red, green, and blue) until a
video signal is detected.
Note: For best results, adjust the display mode of the computer to a resolution
of 800 x 600 (LX0801PTI) or 1024 x 768 (LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI) and a
refresh rate of 60 Hz.
Click continue, you can trust Planar and IRtouch5.
Click on Finish6.
Attach the Planar monitor to the system or install the computer to a
docking station. Attach the USB cable. After the USB cable from the
monitor is attached to the computer it will recognize the touchscreen for
the rst time.
Set Modes11.
When used in rugged environments with software written for touchscreens,
you may nd it easier to use the ‘click on release’ radio button.
Beep 12.
You can set the computer to beep on touch activation if needed.
Auxiliary Power SwitchTurns the CPU o and sends signal to host PC through
power cable.
Brightness Adjust SwitchesEnables brightness adjustment by depressing
one or the other button. Depressing both buttons
simultaneously enables auto sync of the monitor to
the video source.
TouchscreenEnables user to control software and computer with a
touch
Note: The Mariner design does not have a power switch that turns o the power to
the monitor. This is because the vast majority of marine installations utilize a
circuit breaker to turn power on/o to electrical devices.
The monitor’s power button can control power to the display and CPU. It is
not designed to electrically isolate the monitor or CPU from the supply. Use
an appropriately sized (4A slow blow 12VDC/2A slow blow 24VDC) magnetic
hydraulic circuit breaker to switch line power on/o .
Note: Be sure to con gure the computer’s power options, including how the
computer responds, when the button is pressed. See Windows on-line
help for details. The monitor goes into standby whenever the computer is
put into sleep or into hibernation.
Using the Touchscreen
The touchscreen allows you to operate the computer by touching
the screen with a nger or stylus, rather than using a mouse or keyboard.
Navigating the Touchscreen
To click an item, tap the item once.•
To double-click an item, tap the item twice rapidly.•
To drag an item, touch the item, and then drag it along the screen to the •
new location.
To move the cursor, touch the screen and move the cursor as needed.•
Cleaning the Monitor
Clean the monitor’s touchscreen periodically to keep the display image bright
and sharp, and to keep the touchscreen functions working properly.
• Always turn o the monitor before cleaning.
• Clean the touchscreen with a dry soft cloth. If this does not clean
the screen adequately, preferably use Sparkle or Glass X cleaners.
If these optimal cleaners are not available use water or mild glass or window cleaner
(that does not contain ammonia) applied to the cloth and not to the display.
• Clean the monitor housing with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent.
• Never apply abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to the monitor.
If you are experiencing trouble with the monitor, refer to the following. If the
problem persists, please contact your local dealer or our service center.

power-saving mode. (You may also want to disable the computer’s
power-saving feature.)
Problem: Partial image or incorrectly displayed image
Make sure the computer’s image resolution is set to one of these •
resolutions: 1024 x 768 (XGA) (LX1201PTI only), 800 x 600 (SVGA) or 640
x 480 (VGA).
Problem: Image is scrolling
Check and make sure the VGA signal cable (or adapter) is securely •
connected at both ends.
Initiate an auto-sync to solve the problem.•
Problem: The monitor does not appear to respond to the touchscreen
Make sure the USB cable to the computer is securely connected at both •
ends.
An interconnection to the host PC with USB can be exploited by the customer to
create an OSD. Planar has utilized a powerful Pixelworks video IC to enable this
functionality should customers desire increased control functions. Planar does
not provide the programming to do this. Please consult with Planar’s application
engineering team if you have questions about the scale of this undertaking.
