INSTALLATION General Installation and Mounting Instructions General Installation and Mounting • Our displays are designed for various installation mountings (panel mounting, bracket mounting and VESA mounting). For details please see our installation drawings. • When mounting the display in a confined area, i.e. console, adequate ventilation must be provided to limit the maximum temperature to 55°C.
Cables Only high quality shielded signal cables should be used. Video cables should be kept as short as possible to preserve the quality of the video signal. The maximum signal cable length will depend on the signal type, resolution and frequency, in addition to the quality of the signal output of the video source.
Cable Connections AC Power Input AC operating input voltage is 90-264 VAC Auto-ranging, 47-400 Hz, IEC-320 display connector. Mating power cord is available separately. DC Power Male Connector (24V DC IN) Connect the DC Power input connector to the two pin male connector and secure the cable with the two jack screws.
RGB HD15 Female Signal Connector (RGB IN) The LCD Display RGB input can be connected to a video source using a HD15- male to HD15-male cable available separately. COMPOSITE BNC Connector (COMP 1) Connect the BNC cables (not provided) to the COMP 1 BNC connector on the back of the display as shown below.
Remote Brightness Interface Male Connector (REMOTE BRIGHTNESS) Connect the remote brightness Cable (not provided) to the DB9 male input connector on the back of the unit. The brightness of the LCD Display can be controlled remotely through this interface connector using two push button switches for brightness up and brightness down.
Compass Safe Distance The following is the compass safe distance for the MPC-MI19 19 inch display: Front of unit: 200mm 0.3° deflection Rear of unit: 300mm 0.3° deflection Left side of unit: 0° deflection Right side of unit: 0° deflection...
OPERATION FRONT PANEL DISPLAY USER CONTROLS The operator front panel user controls are described below. Power ON/OFF The POWER Button is used to power the display ON and OFF. Press and hold the POWER Button for 3 to 5 seconds to power the unit ON or OFF. When power is first applied to the display it will power ON automatically.
OSD HOT KEYS The OSD Hot key adjustment is disabled. Hot key 1 Hot key 2 Hot key 1 function is initiated by either the up arrow or down arrow. Hot key 2 function is initiated by either the left arrow or right arrow. Pressing any of these keys will cause a small screen to appear with an adjustment bar.
FRONT PANEL ALARMS Buzzer – Remotely controlled The Buzzer can be activated through a remote switch or through the SCOM (RS232) interface. Remote Backlight Dimming Control NOTE: Use of a Brightness control may inhibit visibility of ECDIS information, particularly when using the night color tables Remote Backlight Buttons The backlight brightness is increased and decreased by pushing the remote Plus and Minus buttons respectively.
OSD FUNCTIONS The OSD settings highlighted in green are the preferred settings. See the shipped OSD configuration in the APPENDIX. Picture : Brightness Increase/decrease panel brightness level, total: 100 steps Contrast Increase/decrease panel contrast level, total: 100 steps NOTE: Use of the Brightness or Contrast controls may inhibit visibility of ECDIS information, particularly when using the night color tables.

ECDIS OPERATION The remote brightness pot must be disconnected for ECDIS operation. This Display has been calibrated for ECDIS operation at the factory and is provided along with an ECDIS Color Calibration CD containing the ECDIS information and color tables. Setting Controls for route monitoring It is important that the display be adapted to lighting conditions on the bridge by selecting the correct color table (Day, Dusk or Night).
The diagram is in the form of an ENC and so can be displayed using any of the three color tables. The color tables should be checked subjectively by means of the color differentiation test diagram as follows: 1. The person carrying out the test should have passed the Isihara color blindness test, or other test used to qualify bridge watch keepers, and should adapt to night viewing for 10 minutes before checking the night display.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS If you experience trouble with your MPC-MI19 LCD display, check the following items before contacting the factory or local dealer: Trouble Troubleshooting Tip • The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer. • The display card should be completely seated in the slot.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (SCOM-RS232) The host interface uses RS-232 standard with the following settings: Data Rate: 9600 bits/sec Data Format: • Start Bit = 1 • Stop Bit = 1 • Data Bits = 8 • Parity Bit = None Flow Control: RTS/CTS (must be connected for proper operation) Message Format Sample:...
Byte 8: The last byte in a message with data is an Inverse Data Checksum. Sum all of the data bytes, then take the low order eight bits of the result and invert each bit such that the sum plus IDCHK equals FF. Response Time The display must initiate a response within 150 msec after receipt of a message from the host.
a. The OSD Brightness Control is set to 50% b. The OSD Contrast Control is set to 50% c. The OSD Saturation Control is set to 50% d. The OSD Hue Control is set to zero e. The OSD Gamma Value is set to 1.0 The OSD Color Temperature is set to USER g.
