Step 2 - Connecting the Monitor

Once the monitor is mounted in place, connect it to the computer (or other

video source) and the regulated DC power supply as follows. Planar does not supply a power supply. The monitor is intended to be powered from the watercraft’s DC power system. Power to the monitor (and CPU) is hard switched from the line power that should be protected by a magnetic hydraulic circuit breaker. DO NOT connect

the USB cable at this time!

Note: This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer. However, depending on your particular hardware configuration, these connections may be to a dock or other device rather than directly to the computer.

1.Install IRtouch software on computer.

2.As needed, route any data and power cables from the computer to the monitor.

3.Make sure the computer is turned off . Connect video cable and USB cable.

4.Connect to the monitor’s power supply.

Note: Use a appropriately sized fuse in line to the power source. Also, to prevent the watercraft’s battery from draining in standby mode, you should install a device that shuts off power to the monitor while the monitor is inactive. (An example is Lind Electronic’s Vehicle Battery Voltage Shutdown Timer - www.lindeletronic.com).

12VDC system: 4A slow blow fuse

24VDC system: 2A slow blow fuse

5.Turn on power to the computer and monitor. The monitor then turns on as soon as it receives a video signal from the computer, and its LED turns green.

Also, the first time the monitor is powered up, it automatically displays a test pattern of repeating colored screens (black, white, red, green, and blue) until a video signal is detected.

Note: For best results, adjust the display mode of the computer to a resolution of 800 x 600 (LX0801PTI) or 1024 x 768 (LX1201PTI and LX1501PTI) and a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
