Precautions
• When installing the monitor on the wall, consult your dealer.
• Route the power cord and connection cables along the floor corners to avoid walking on them.
• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distance of space (minimum) around the monitor (see
diagram below).
• When installing the monitor near the ceiling or similar location, the remote control may not work correctly
because of possible effects, such as reflections, from the surroundings. If this happens, move the monitor
where it is free from these effects.
• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
(slightly variable depending on the ambient conditions of the installation place).
• Do not install the monitor in such a way that the monitor and other AV equipment affect each other
adversely. (For example, if a disturbed image or noise due to electromagnetic interference occurs, or if the
infrared remote control malfunctions, change the installation place.)
• Do not install the monitor in such a way that the ventilation holes of the internal cooling fans are blocked.
Blocking the holes may cause high inside temperature and may damage the unit.

Position of the internal cooling fans
• Fan A stops when you set the speed of the fans to
“LOW” (see “COOLING MODE” on page 16).
• Fan B is always in operation while the power is on.

Outline of the motion sensor

Installation and connection

By connecting the supplied motion sensor, you can set the monitor to perform the specified operation when
the sensor detects the motion of human around the monitor. The status of the monitor returns automatically to
that before detecting human if the sensor does not detect any motion for a certain period of time.
The sensor is the pyroelectric infrared-ray-detection type.

The motion sensor can be attached to either of 24 screw holes on the main unit (5 screw holes on the top and
bottom, and 7 on the right and left side). Choose an appropriate position according to the installation place of

NOTE
• The detection area above is reference. The
actual detection range may differ depending
on temperature, size of the moving human,
color of cloth, moving speed and direction, etc.
• The sensor can detects only a moving human
in the detection area.
• The sensor detects the motion of a human
more sensitive if the human is close to the
motion sensor.
• Do not touch the light-receiving part of the
sensor directly. It may reduce its sensitivity.
• Glass between the sensor and human much
reduces the sensitivity.

The bottom and the right side have screw holes at the same positions
as those on the top and the right side, respectively.
Cord cramp (supplied)

Double-sided adhesive
tape

Stick the supplied cord cramp on the
back of the main unit and lace the
sensor cable through the cramp.

Angle of the sensor
You can adjust the vertical angle of the motion sensor.
Change the screw holes on the sides of the sensor to upper
ones and adjust the angle.

Change the screw holes to upper ones.

How to Use External Control
About the external control
This monitor has the following external control terminals:
• RS-232C terminal: Controls the monitor by external control equipment (a personal computer or a dedicated
controller) (see “Using the serial communication” on page 21).
• RS-485 terminals: The following external control systems are available.
(1) Serial communication: Controls the monitor by external control equipment (a personal computer or a
dedicated controller) (see page 21).
(2) IR OUT system: Controls other equipment through the monitor by using the remote control supplied
with the equipment.
(3) MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal
to the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (see page 22).
(4) TRIG. (trigger system): Controls the function by inputting the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal (see page 22).
• LAN terminal (10BASE-T): Controls the monitor from a PC in the network through the web browser (see

The following are not malfunctions.
• When a still image is displayed for a long time, it may remain indistinctly on the screen after the picture
has changed. Though the remaining picture will disappear after a while, there may be a case that it
remains for a long period depending on the length of time the still image was displayed for. This is due
to the characteristics of the LCD display and is not a malfunction.
• The red spots, blue spots and green spots on the panel surface are a normal characteristic of LCD
displays, and not a problem. The LCD display is built with very high precision technology; however, be
aware that a few pixels may be missing or constantly lit.
• The following symptoms are problems only when pictures or sounds are not played back normally.
– A slight electric shock occurs when you touch the monitor.
– The top and/or rear panel of the monitor becomes hot.
– The monitor emits a cracking noise.
– The monitor emits a mechanical noise.

Troubleshooting (cont.)
Self-diagnostic indication
When something abnormal occurs with the monitor, this function informs you of the condition of the monitor
with the self-diagnostic lamps, allowing for smooth service work.
“TEMP. OVER” appears here.

Self-diagnostic lamps

If the monitor screen turns off and the selfdiagnostic lamps light or flash
If the self-diagnostic lamps light or flash in red, check
the following before consulting the dealer where you
purchased the monitor.
• If the self-diagnostic lamp 1 lights, lamp 2 flashes,
and lamp 3 lights.
This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the
rear and top. If this happens, switch off the main
power using the power switch (set to “‡ (off)”),
unplug the AC power cord, then clean the intakes
by referring to the instruction on page 3.
After cleaning, switch on the monitor’s main power
again. If the self-diagnostic lamps do not go off,
consult your dealer immediately.

If the monitor screen dims a little and “TEMP.
OVER” appears (or flashes)
If “TEMP. OVER” appears or flashes at the left top of
the screen, check the following before consulting the
dealer where you purchased the monitor.
“TEMP. OVER” appears to warn you of internal heat
buildup, which is usually caused by accumulated
dust around the intakes or by improper installation. If
the cause of the internal heat buildup is eliminated,
this indication disappears and the screen returns to
normal brightness.
• If “TEMP. OVER” flashes in yellow
This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the
rear. If this happens, switch off the main power
using the power switch (set to “‡ (off)”), unplug the
AC power cord, then clean the intakes by referring
to the instruction on page 3.
– After cleaning, switch on the monitor’s main
power again. If “TEMP. OVER” still flashes, this
problem may be caused by improper installation
or improper location of the monitor. In this
case, consult your dealer immediately to solve
this improper installation and to improve the
circumstances around the monitor.
• If “TEMP. OVER” appears in red
“TEMP. OVER” will be shown for about two
minutes, the monitor will shut off automatically,
then the self-diagnostic lamps light in red. If this
happens, switch off the main power using the
power switch (set to “‡ (off)”), unplug the AC power
cord, then consult your dealer immediately.

If the trouble still persists, follow the procedure below:
1 Check which lamps are lit or flashing.
On the Self-diagnostic Report Sheet (below), check the box next to “Lights” or “Flashes” of the
corresponding lamp or lamps.
• Only one lamp may light or flash, or all three lamps may do so.
2 Switch off the POWER switch on the back of the monitor.
3 Unplug the power cord.
4 Call your dealer and tell them which lamps are lit or flashing. (Copy and fax the Self-diagnostic Report
Sheet below.)
NOTE
• If you switch on the main power immediately after switching it off (or after recovering from a brief power
interruption), the self-diagnostic lamps may light (or flash), and no image may appear on the screen. In
this case, switch off the main power again, wait for about 10 seconds, then switch it on again. If no selfdiagnostic lamps light or flash, you can operate and use the monitor as usual.
