The VT181CH, VT181CH-IR, and VT181CHE-IR are part of a series of LCD replacement displays for the Honeywell TDC Universal Stations (US) Classic Style furniture.
The VT181CH displays are offered as chassis tray mount models and as flush mount models. The flush models mount to the Vartech Systems replacement console bezels or the Honeywell replacement console bezel for systems which have been upgraded to the 19" Sony monitor. The chassis tray models mount in the same method as the original CRT displays.
The VT181CH and VT181CH-IR displays are for stations that have EPDG video board and EPDG I/O Adapter board. These displays replace the 20" Aydin or Intecolor CRT displays. The VT181CH-IR is supplied complete with a replacement console bezel and new flat IR touch frame which is compatible with the original 20" touch frame being replaced.
The VT181CHE-IR displays are for stations that have PDG video board and PDG I/O Adapter board. The PDG I/O Adapter board must be Honeywell PN 51109394-100. The VT181CHE-IR replaces the 20" Electrohome and Aydin CRT displays. The VT181CHE-IR is supplied complete with a replacement console bezel and new flat IR touch frame which is compatible with the original 20" touch frame being replaced.

1) Restores the user adjustable parameters for the signal currently being display back to the factory defaults.
2) Press the buttons simultaneously to restore to factory default state all the user adjustments for the signal currently being displayed. This is useful if a picture set-up has become lost or confused. The Reset option can also be accessed even if the OSD has been lost.

Yes/No. If an input signal changes, it is first measured and compared with stored selections. If its parameters are already stored, they are installed. If they are stored, the “Auto Centering” selection is checked and if set to “No” the best fit is displayed. The user can then center the picture using OSD auto setup. If Auto Centering is set to “Yes”, centering is performed automatically, which may take more than 15 seconds. This could cause a prob­lem if using Windows, wherein a resolution change is displayed only for 15 seconds and reverts to its previous selection if no acknowledgement is entered. For this reason, the default state is “No”. NOTE this control only configures Analog Graphics inputs.

CLEANING AND MAINTANENCE
CLEANING AND MAINTANENCE

Cleaning
Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth dampened (not soaked) with a mild (non-abrasive) glass cleaner. Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to avoid scratching it with accumulated grit.
Note:
The solvent should be applied only to the cloth, and not directly on the monitor screen.
Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow the screen to stand dry. Special care should be taken when cleaning a touch screen or polycarbonate shield that is installed over the screen. Abrasive and certain chemical cleaners can easily damage the surface.
Never use alcoholic or ammoniac cleaners to clean the polycarbonate shield or a touch screen.
Note:
For best results cleaning a monitor with the optional antireflective tempered glass display shield, a solution of denatured alcohol is recommended to thoroughly clean the display.
Other Maintenance
Qualified service personnel should perform all maintenance, except for the power cord replacement described above.
