Audience
This service manual is primarily for system / service engineers, distributors and dealers. It carries the
assumption that the reader understands the basic operating concepts.
Purpose
This manual contains reference data for Speco Technologies monitor. It gives information regarding
the operating principles of monitors, as well as technical service and maintenance information.
1. Introduction
The VM-1201, high performance monochrome monitor, display over 1,000 TV lines resolution on a
bright 12-inch picture tube. This combination provides excellent multi-screen displays commonly
produced by picture-in picture and quad units.
All user controls are conveniently located behind a protective front panel door. This monitor can be
placed on a desk or mounted in a standard 12-inch rack (with an optional rack mount kit)
This series are housed in an enameled steel cabinet for ruggedness and durability, and with the exception
of the picture tube, the circuitry is all solid-state. It also feature video loop through connectors with
switchable high-z/75ohm termination.
The VM-1201 is an excellent choice when you require a rugged, compact B/W monitor. The exquisite
and reliable design of this monitor will provide years of trouble-free operation.
