Introduction
The Ultra HD resolution Planar EP Series LCD displays offer best-in-class reliability with the stunning image quality of 4K resolution. The displays come standard with commercial-grade features - such as 4K@60Hz support through both HDMI and DisplayPort and HDCP 2.2 compliance - which are required for digital signage, corporate, and control room environments.
Also available in touch versions, Ultra HD Planar EP Series displays bring interactivity to the 4K immersive experience.
Caution: This manual is intended for use by qualified service persons and end users with experience installing LCD displays.
Safety Information
Before using the Planar EP Series, please read this manual thoroughly to help protect against damage to property, and to ensure personnel safety.
- Be sure to observe the following instructions.
- For your safety, be sure to observe ALL the warnings detailed in this manual.
- For installation or adjustment, please follow this manual's instructions, and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Safety Precautions
- If water is spilled or objects are dropped inside the display, remove the power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Contact your dealer for inspection.
- If the display is dropped or the chassis is damaged, remove the power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Contact your dealer for inspection.
WARNING! Wall mounts must be secure.
- If the display is hung on a wall, the wall must be strong enough to hold it. Simply mounting it to wallboard or wall paneling won't be adequate or safe.
Caution: The screen could be damaged by heavy pressure.
- Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier pressure will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted where viewers cannot touch the screen or insert small objects in the openings that will create hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.
Caution: The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects.
- The polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass on the LCD screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.
- If the power cord or plug is damaged or becomes hot, turn off the main power switch of the display. Make sure the power plug has cooled down and remove the power plug from the outlet. If the display is still used in this condition, it may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Contact your dealer for a replacement.
Important Safety Instructions
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use the display near water.
6 Clean the LCD screens with an LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes.
7 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
9 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from any of the displays.
10 Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
11 Unplug all displays during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
12 You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing your system.
13 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when any of the displays have been damaged in any way. For example, if the AC power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into a display, the displays have been exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate normally or have been dropped.
14 Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
15 Wall mounts must be secure. The wall must be strong enough to hold all displays, brackets and cables.
16 Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier pressure will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted where viewers cannot touch the screen or insert small objects in the openings that will create hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.
17 The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects. The polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass on the LCD screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.
Recommended Usage
In order to get the most out of your LCD, use the following recommended guidelines to optimize the display.
Burn-In Versus Temporary Image Retention
Burn-in causes the screen to retain an image essentially forever, with little or no way to correct the problem. Under normal use, an LCD will not experience burn-in, as plasma displays do, nor will it retain images in any way.
Normal use of an LCD is defined as displaying continuously changing video patterns or images. However, LCDs can experience temporary image retention when recommended usage guidelines are not followed.
What is Temporary Image Retention?
Temporary image retention (TIR) can occur when a static image is displayed continuously for extended periods of time (12 hours or longer). An electrical charge differential may build up between the electrodes of the liquid crystal, which causes a negative-color video image (color-inverted and brightness-inverted version of the previous image) to be retained when a new image is displayed. This behavior is true for any LCD device from any LCD manufacturer.
TIR is not covered under warranty. See standard warranty terms and conditions for details. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid TIR:
- Use the LCD to show a screen saver, moving images or still pictures that change regularly. When using high-contrast images, reposition the images frequently.
- Turn off the LCD when it is not in use. To use your source computer's Power Options Properties, set up your computer to turn off the display when not in use.
Warranty Coverage
The following models are warranted for 24 x 7 usage:
- 50": EP5024K, EP5024K-T
- 58": EP5824K, EP5824K-T
• 65": EP6524K, EP6524K-T
Planar recommends turning off the power for 4 hours per day for optimal performance.

Important Waste Disposal Information
Please recycle or dispose of all electronic waste in accordance with local, state, and federal laws. Additional resources can be found online at http://www.planar.com/about/green/.
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is to notify consumers in areas subject to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2012/19/EU that the product was placed on the market after August 13, 2005 and must not be disposed of with other waste. Separate collection and recycling of electronic waste at the time of disposal ensures that it is recycled in a manner that minimizes impacts to human health and the environment. For more information about the proper disposal of electronic waste, please contact your local authority, your household waste disposal service, or the seller from whom you purchased the product.

Normal Usage Guidelines
Normal use of the LCD is defined as operating in the open air to prevent heat buildup, and without direct or indirect heat sources such as lighting fixtures, heating ducts, or direct sunlight that can cause the modules to experience high operating temperatures. For all modules, do not block fans or ventilation openings. If the LCD module will be installed in a recessed area with an LCD surround or enclosure, ensure adequate openings are applied for proper air flow and ventilation.
At 3000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD module cannot be above 40^ C nor below the minimum ambient operating temperature of 0^ C. If one of these conditions exists, it is up to the installer to ensure that module placement is changed, thermal shielding is provided and/or additional ventilation is provided to keep the display within its nominal operating parameters.
Cooling Requirements
For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when the ambient temperature at the top of the wall is predicted to be above the specified ambient temperature for the panel. Cooling may be done behind the displays and depending on the wall configuration, it may be helpful to place air ducts (AC) at every third display tall.
VESA Mounts, General Description
VESA mounts are used to secure the Planar EP Series for display. The display can be installed using a variety of VESA mounts available through Planar. If you do not have a VESA mount and would like to purchase one, contact Planar.
If you purchased a VESA mount, you should have a received a separate box with mounting supplies and an Installation manual. Follow these instructions carefully.
Keep in mind the following general installation guidelines:
- Screw length is crucial and will vary depending on the type of mount you use. Total screw length will include the penetration length plus the length required by the type of VESA mount in use.
- Mount spacers may be required to accommodate the protruding back panel of the OPS slot.
Caution: Shorter screws will result in insufficient mounting strength and longer screws could puncture parts inside the display.
- Prior to installation, make sure you know where all of the mounting points are located.
- Follow all safety precautions outlined in the VESA Installation manual.
- Verify the parts received with the list shown in the VESA Installation manual.
Cleaning the Display
If dust has collected on the power plug, remove the plug from the outlet and clean off the dust. Dust build-up may cause a fire.
Remove the power plug before cleaning. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock or damage.
Keep the following points in mind when cleaning the surface of the display:
- When the surface of the display becomes dirty, wipe the surface lightly with a soft clean cloth.
- If the surface requires additional cleaning, use LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes, which are available at most electronics stores.
- Do not let cleaner seep into the display, as it may cause electrical shock or damage.

Input Picture Audio OSD Settings Setup Adv. Setup Communication Information Main Source VGA 1080P @ 60Hz Firmware Ver: EPxx24K V0.20 SubMcu: V05.04 NetUart V2031 Serial No.: XXXXXXXXXXXXXUsing the Touch Screen
You can use the touch screen to control your Windows, Mac or Linux operating system. The Planar PS Series is HID compliant, delivering up to 20 points of touch on both Windows and Linux without a driver. Single touch only is supported for Mac operating systems. To achieve more than single touch Mac support, drivers will need to be installed, which can be found on http://www.planar.com/support.
Note: Ensure that you have installed the USB cable on the display to a computer.
Note: If an OPS PC is installed in the OPS slot, the OPS PC will automatically be connected internally to the touch system. The touch functionality is configurable via the Touch Control settings.
LAN Control
The Planar EP Series supports extending access to the RS232 commands over a network connection using a virtual COM port (VCOM). The VCOM driver can be found on http://www.planar.com/support.
Note: RS232 commands over LAN can be achieved by opening a TCP connection to Port 23 to the display. The LAN control functionality is most frequently used by control systems, and they won't be able to use the VCOM drivers
Supported Operating Systems
The utility supports the following operating systems:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8 and 8.1
- Windows 10
Installation
Use the following instructions to install the VCOM driver.
1 Launch the vcomsetup.exe file.
2 You may see a security warning similar to the following example. Click Run to continue.
