3.0 INSTALLATION
It is important that your new display is installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions provided in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product
performance and may invalidate your warranty.
When planning the installation the following points must be considered:
•
Your MarinePC display is sunlight viewable and visible in direct sunlight.
•
If temperatures exceed the normal temperature operating range the display could
overheat and begin to blackout due to the limitations of TFT LCD technology.
•
In order to minimize the chances of a malfunction, the following precautions should be
taken during installation:
•
The display should be installed in an area where there is proper and adequate
ventilation (min. 15cm clearance) . If it is possible to cool the area behind the
display, it will significantly reduce the risk of a malfunction.
•
The display should be mounted at an angle to the sun. We do not recommend
mounting the unit in a flat plane, which increases the surface area exposed to the
sun and leads to increased heat absorption.
IMPORTANT:
Your MarinePC display is only waterproof from the front. To maintain
watertight integrity the display must be flush mounted ensuring that the rear casing is
enclosed in a watertight enclosure and the front is sealed with a waterproof gasket.
The MarinePC MPC-SL19 is designed to be mounted in two configurations:
VESA75 / VESA100 MOUNT
The MarinePC MPC-SL19 is designed compatible with VESA75 and VESA100 mount. By
installing the monitor with this kit, the user can adjust the viewing angle to improve
viewability in changing environments. This mounting system has proven to be successful
in supporting an extreme amount of weight in high vibration and difficult-mount
applications.
The back of the monitor includes mounting points that you can use to mount the monitor
as your installation requires.
