Connecting the Optional Touchscreen

If your monitor has this optional feature, connect the monitor’s 9-pin D-sub serial port to the computer’s 9-pin RS-232 serial port using the cable that came with the touchscreen package.

Next, connect the male end of the RS-232 cable to the 9-pin serial port at the back of the monitor (see Figure 6).

Note: Follow the instructions included on the enclosed CD for installing the touchscreen drivers on your system. If you have questions, contact your system provider or Planar Systems, Inc. at www.planar.com for the touchscreen driver and installation instructions. Following driver software installation, calibrate your touchscreen to the system following the procedure described on the enclosed CD.

Power Management System

The Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor complies with the VESA DPMS power management standard. This standard provides four power- saving modes, based on the monitor detecting the horizontal or vertical sync signals. The table below describes those four modes.

Mode	AC Input Power	LED Status
	(including AC
	adapter)

On With audio	40 watts maximum	Steady green
Without audio	37 watts maximum	Steady green

Standby	5 watts maximum	Blinking green

Suspend	5 watts maximum	Blinking green

Off	5 watts maximum	Off

When the monitor is in power saving mode or detects incorrect timing, the screen is blank and the power LED indicator blinks.
