How to Use

Preparation for useEnglish-13

P-1 Preparation for installation

Don’t block the holes in the rear of the monitor shown in the

fi gure above. If they are blocked, heat accumulates inside the

monitor, causing breakdown. The upper limit of the operation-

guaranteed ambient temperature when the monitor is installed

in the landscape position is 40˚C. When installing the monitor

in a case or an enclosure, ensure adequate ventilation to keep

the temperature inside the case 40˚C or lower by providing

a cooling fan or ventilation holes in the case. The upper limit

when the monitor is in the portrait or face-up position is 35˚C.

This LCD has a temperature sensor and cooling fan. If the LCD

becomes hot, the cooling fan will turn on automatically. If the

LCD becomes overheated, the “Caution” menu will appear.

If the “Caution” menu appears, stop using the monitor and

allow it to cool. When the LCD monitor is used in an enclosure

or with protection on LCD surface, please check the inside

temperature of the monitor by “HEAT STATUS” (See page 56). If

the temperature is higher than the normal level, set “COOLING FAN” to ON using the SCREEN SAVER function (See page 52).

To avoid the monitor from falling

When installing the monitor using the tabletop stands (option),

take measures to prevent the monitor from falling over in case

of an earthquake or other disaster to lessen the probability of

injury and damage resulting from the fall.

As shown in the fi gure, secure the monitor to a solid wall or

pillar using rope (commercially available) strong enough to bear

the weight of the monitor. [MDT551S: approximately 38.6 kg (with

the optional stands)]

When using screw hooks (commercially available), use ring

hooks, not C-hooks (with opening).

• The effect of the fall prevention substantially depends

on the strength of brackets and base to which the fall

prevention devices is attached. When you cannot ensure

suffi cient strength, provide adequate reinforcement.

• Though the recommended fall prevention is intended to

lessen the probability of injury and damage, it doesn’t

assure its effectiveness against any kind of earthquake or

• Do not sleep where the monitor may topple over or fall in

case of an earthquake or other disaster.

• Before moving the monitor, remove the rope that is

securing the monitor. Failure to do so may result in injury or

breakdown of the monitor.

Determine the installation location

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE LCD MONITOR BY YOURSELF.

can be controlled via a communication. When using CAT5 Tx BOX (option) and CAT5 Rx BOX (option) for connection, they are

connected with each other via RS-485, allowing long-distance communication control. When the CAT5 Tx BOX is connected using a USB cable, it functions as an RS-232C (COM) port by a Windows driver.• Power ON or OFF• Switching between input signals• Volume control and mute• Auto setup• Check of the internal temperature of the monitor, etc.CAUTION: Never connect network devices to the CAT5 IN and OUT connectors. If you do so, they may adversely affect with each other, causing breakdown.NOTE: For connection with a 25-pin serial port connector on the computer, a conversion adapter (commercially available) is required. 1) InterfacePROTOCOL RS-232C/RS-485 (CAT5)BAUD RATE 9600 [bps]DATA LENGTH 8 [bit]PARITY BIT NONESTOP BIT 1 [bit]FLOW CONTROL NONE• For direct connection using RS-232C, use the RXD, TXD, and GND lines. • For RS-485 communication using the CAT5 Tx BOX (option, DP-2CA5-T), transmission and reception must be controlled alternately. Select either of the following two transmission/reception control modes using the COM. MODE switch. LEGACY: DP-1CA5-T compatible mode (The RXD, TXD, RTS, DTR, and GND lines are used.) For a control program, RTS and DTR as transmit control signals of negative logic are used.
