• The 7th terminal and the 8th terminal

are connected.

<Specifications of the RS-485 terminal>

Operation

1 Set “PARALLEL TYPE” of “REMOTE SETTING” to “MAKE” or “TRIGGER” in the SET-UP MENU.
2 Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (ENABLE) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled

by the external control.

3 When selecting “MAKE” system: Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to

the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.

When selecting “TRIGGER” system: Operate each function by pulse control, that is short-circuiting the

corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second and opening it.

• When changing the input with MAKE system, only one pin terminal must be short-circuited. (Other pin terminals

must be opened.)

• When selecting the “TRIGGER” system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one

by one.

7 Using the serial communication

You can control the monitor from a personal computer etc. via the RS-485 or RS-232C terminal.

• Consult your dealer for the details of the external control specification.

• “Cr” is 0Dh.

• The commands for starting communication (connection) (No. 1), terminating communication (termination)

(No. 2), and turning on the monitor (No. 13) can be used while the monitor is off (on standby).

*1 Enter the monitor’s ID for “ **.” The initial setting of the monitor’s ID is “00.” When connecting several monitors, “00” is a
command for controlling all monitors at once.
*2 Enter the appropriate data to “xx”.
*3 Displays the information shown when INPUT SELECT button of the current input is pressed (☞ “About the Status
Display” on page 7).
