Mechanical Structure
The 8.8” Color Display’s compact design makes it suitable for con-
sole or switchboard installation. 2 LEDs and 1 photo element are
integrated into the device front next to the transflective TFT-display
and touch surface. The photo element serves for the automatic
dimming. The front plate is made of 5 mm thick, black anodized
aluminum (AlMg1) with an integrated, glare free glass pane. The
front plate’s remaining surface is coated with a 0.25 mm thick wa-
ter tight and UV-light resistant plastic film.
A 2 mm thick flat gasket, made from cellular rubber EP, is located
in the support surface between the device and console. This
achieves a protection class of IP 67. On the rear side, the device
electronics are enclosed by a powder coated housing made from 2
mm thick AlMg1. An opening is located behind the plastic covering,
allowing access to a serial interface (D-SUB 9) and DIP switches
for configuring the device. Three plug connectors (CuZn, nickel-
plated) for communication buses CAN 1, CAN 2, and CAN 3, one
video input, one RS232-connection (e.g. for GPS), as well as one
remote control connection and one cable bushing (M16, brass)
with a led out round cable (power supply and external signaling)
are also located
on the rear side. The device’s rearside protection
class is IP 22.
