■ LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The PWB’ s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder. The
alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread. Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an
accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity
is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may
exceed the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean
and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.

When mounting the monitor, be sure to use a wall-mount / ceilingmount bracket they comply with the VESA-compatible mounting
method. SHARP recommends using M6 screws and tighten the screws.
Note that screw hole depth of the monitor is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Loose
holding may cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. The screw and hole should come
together with over 5/16 inch (8 mm) length of thread. Use the bracket
which applied UL1678 standard, and which can endure at least 4 times
or more the weight of the monitor.

Advanced operation
This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic
communication procedure is the same as in the “One-to-one connection
with a PC” section.
<ID numbers>
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor. This allows you to
control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (using the
remote control) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.
[Example]
ID number: 1
ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands
like “Set the volume of the monitor with ID 4 to 20”.
When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID
numbers, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID numbers.
PN-525U CONNECTION, ADJUSTMENT, OPERATION, AND FUNCTION
2 – 10
ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from
the PC. They can also be connected as shown below.
[Example]
ID number: 3 ID number: 2 ID number: 4 ID number: 1
<Commands for ID control>
The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.
ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4
IDST: A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the
parameter field.
Example: IDST0001
OK 001
1
The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.
Note: You can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST
command with the Repeater control.
For example, using the command “IDST001
+” automatically sets
the ID numbers, as shown below.
[Example]
ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

<Repeater control>
This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command. This function is called
repeater control. You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.
[Example]
Set 1Set 2Set 3Set 4
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to PC1 DIGITAL”.
PN-525U CONNECTION, ADJUSTMENT, OPERATION, AND FUNCTION
2 – 11
<Repeater control command>
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of
the parameter to “
+”.
Example:
VOLM030
+ 1 Sets volume of all monitors to 30.
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific
set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance.
When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause
is that the monitors could not receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not send a new command.
Example:
(When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)
VOLM030
+
WAIT
OK 001
OK 002
OK 003
1
OK 004
If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending a new command only
after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.
Example:
VOLM??? +
WAIT
10 001
20 002
30 003
Volume settings for all monitors are returned.
30 004
Note:
• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK),
the ID designation is canceled.
• Commands that use parameters consisting of more than four characters can not be controlled by repeater control.
<Communication interval>
• After OK or ERR is returned, you must send the following commands.
To set a timeout for the command response, specify 10 seconds or
longer.
• Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the command
response and the transmission of the next command.
