A Planar part number will be modifi ed with an “LF” suffi x designation to indicate RoHS compliance, as shown on the part number label affi xed to the display and on the box containing the display.
• Use only a dry soft cloth or clean room wiper when cleaning the LCD panel surface. • Use a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent to clean the monitor housing. • Use only a high-quality and safety-approved 12V power supply.
The LC17 and LC19 are high performance monitors designed for demanding applications. The monitor consists of a 17" or 19” diagonal flat panel liquid crystal display (LCD) housed in a metal enclosure with an integrated ambient light sensor to facilitate automatic brightness control.

The LC17 and LC19 can be mounted in two manners: rear 100 mm VESA mount and side mounting holes. M4 threaded holes are provided in the sides of the monitor housing for mounting purposes. The blind holes will accommodate 10 mm long screws. See the mechanical outline drawing (LC17: 076-0626-00 and LC19: 076-0627-00) at www.planar.com/support for details.
Start Your Installation Connecting the Display (Figure 1.0) To configure the monitor, please refer to the following figure and procedures. 1. Be sure the computer or video source is turned off. 2. Connect the 12V DC power(1.0). During initial turn on with no video applied, the display will automatically power on with a self test pattern displayed.

How to Use the OSD Menus 1. Press the "Menu" button to pop up the on-screen menu and to select between the four main menus. 2. Choose the adjustment items by pressing the "Select/Auto" button. 3. Adjust the value of the adjustment items by pressing the "+" or "-" button. 4.
Brightness Control The brightness of the monitor may be controlled automatically or manually, and the minimum brightness is adjustable. By default, the monitor is configured for automatic brightness control with a minimum brightness setting of approximately 150 cd/m Automatic Brightness Control In automatic brightness control mode, a photo sensor measures the ambient lighting condition (the illuminance).
To LC17 or LC19 Reference Design for Remote Photo Diode Brightness Control Manual Brightness Control In manual brightness control mode, an externally supplied voltage determines the monitor brightness. To use manual brightness control mode instead of the default automatic brightness control mode: 1.

Minimum Brightness Limit The factory set minimum brightness is approximately 150 cd/m . In most applications the factory setting is desired to maintain the widest dimming range possible. But for applications where 300 cd/m is too low but some dimming is still desired, the minimum brightness limit may be increased. The OSD controls are used to access and change the minimum brightness limit setting, as described in the User Controls section of this manual.
2. To set the minimum brightness visually, one may set the dimming to a minimum (by covering the photo sensor on the front of the monitor if in automatic brightness control mode, or by setting the DIM_INPUT to 5V if in manual brightness control mode) and then adjust the OSD setting to visually give the desired result.

The fans' speed is governed by a temperature sensor adjacent to the photo sensor that is mounted on the front of the monitor. At temperatures above 15°C the fans will turn on at low speed and reach maximum speed at 25°C, thus minimizing the effects of sun loading and high temperatures.
Gloved hand use is OK. Set Up 1. Refer to Planar mechanical outline drawing for the mounting hole locations. 2. Connect the USB cable from display to USB port on computer. 3. Power on computer and install the IR touchscreen driver found on the provided CD. Follow instructions to calibrate the touchscreen.
