Installation
General
This section describes the installation of the monitor. The monitor is pre-aligned at the factory to user input requirements. However, there may still be the need for some minor adjustments to be made. Those procedures will be provided later in the Calibration Procedures section.
Unpacking
Before unpacking, the carton should be inspected for shipping damage. Open the carton carefully and remove the monitor. Carefully inspect the monitor for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, save the shipping carton and all packing materials for possible inspection. Notify the shipping company and EDL Displays at this time.
Mounting
The Model 30281 is available in Desktop, Panel Mount and VESA Mount versions.
Desktop
The Model 30281 DT is provided with a sturdy desk stand and yoke assembly. This may be used as a moveable stand-alone configuration. The rubber feet may be removed from the base and permanently attached to a sturdy mounting surface. The yoke assembly may be removed from the stand and attached to a customer-supplied structure.
Panel Mount
The Model 30281 PM is intended for custom installations. It may be mounted from the front of an opening in the customers console or from the rear. Referring to figure 2 there are four 0.25-inch (6mm) mounting holes provided. If these holes are not appropriate, additional holes may be drilled without compromising the integrity of the structure. Care should be taken to assure no shavings fall into the display assembly.
The panel mount version may be supplied with front panel OSD buttons, a wired remote controls box, or an infrared hand-held remote control. The choice will depend on the desired installation configuration.
VESA Mount
The Model 30281 VM is similar to the Desktop unit, but is provided with a reinforced rear mounting plate designed to accept a standard VESA mount support, in lieu of the desk stand. This VESA mounting plate is configured with 4-6mm x 1.0 threaded holes on a 200mm x 200mm square pattern.
SIGNAL INPUT CONNECTIONS
The Model 30281 LCD Monitor accepts the following input types:
- Analog input via 5 BNC connectors
- Analog input on one DVI-I connector
- Digital input on each of two DVI connectors
Provided the correct cable is used, the monitor will automatically sense adapt to any analog or digital signals applied. In the case of analog signals on the BNC input, the monitor will automatically sense and adapt to the sync type (sync-on-green, composite separate sync, or separate horizontal and vertical syncs).

Recommended Use
Safety Precautions and Maintenance
- DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
- Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.
- Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.
- Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.
- Do no place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor.
- The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.
- The inside of the fluorescent tubes located within the LCD monitor contains mercury. Please follow the bylaws or rules of your local municipality to dispose of this tube properly.
- Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
- When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
- If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the monitor.
- If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet is damaged.
- If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.
- Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.
- Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
- For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
- Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
- Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches and no further away than 228 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is 24 inches for 30281.
- Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feat away. Blink often.
- Position the monitor at a 908 angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
- If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
- Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
- Adjust the monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
- Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
- Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.
- Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).
- Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
- Adjust the brightness until the background raster disappears.
- Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
- Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
- Use the preset Color Setting.
- Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufficient contrast.
