Page 10: Technical Specifications
vsm Under Monitor Display (UMD) Technical Specifications Status LEDs Rear-view 1 Red: Blinks: Life-pulse/Incoming data. 2 Green: Light, internal voltage OK. Addressing the UMDs Each UMD has rotary encoders on the rear side of the UMD for applying a unique address in each RS422-chain. Valid addressing for each unique UMD can be done between 0...EF [hex] which will be 0...239 [dec].
Page 11: Connectors
vsm Under Monitor Display (UMD) UMD SD ½ - 19”: Connectors 7.4.1 Power All UMDs work with 12V low ripple direct current (12VDC). The power consumption of the 12V-line depends on the amount of pixels illuminated and also if text is displayed inverted. We suggest to only using the enclosed capsuled single power supply for each UMD.
Page 12 vsm Under Monitor Display (UMD) RS422 is a differential signal transfer. Each Tx and each Rx line has both a positive and a negative pole. It is therefore absolutely necessary that twisted pair is used for Tx and Rx is used. UMD connections can easily be done by preconfigured standard shielded network cable (CAT5 or higher standard).
Page 13: Cleaning The Display
vsm Under Monitor Display (UMD) Cleaning the Display The best way to clean the finger-print-save UMD-front is to use a soft cloth and smooth window-cleaner-fluid. Do not expose the window-cleaner directly to the UMD, but to the cloth and then wipe softly over the UMD-front. Do not use polish remover, oil, alcoholic- or gasoline based cleaner for the UMDs as this will destroy the plexiglass front cover.
