Chapter 1 - Introduction The M-Series are high performance TFT flat panel monitors specifically designed for harsh industrial environments including Class I & II, Division 2 Hazardous Locations. The monitors accept standard analog VGA or Digital DVI inputs. They can display VESA video modes up to 1680 x 1050 at 75Hz with 16 million colors. An optional 5-wire analog touch screen is available that offers both RS-232 and USB interface capability.
Supported PC Video Modes The M-Series monitors support the following video modes: Note: The highlighted PC display modes produce the best image quality on the size monitors as follows: - M1200 - M1500 - M1700 & M1900 - M220W Mode 640 x 350 @ 70Hz 640 x 400 @ 70Hz 720 x 400 @ 70Hz 640 x 480 @ 60Hz 640 x 480 @ 72Hz 640 x 480 @ 75Hz 800 x 600 @ 56HZ 800 x 600 @ 60Hz 800 x 600 @ 72Hz 800 x 600 @ 75Hz 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz 1024 x 768 @ 70Hz 1024 x 768 @ 75Hz 1280 x1024 @ 60Hz 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz 1600 x 1050 @ 75Hz
Specifications Front Panels The M-Series monitors have NEMA 4/4X/12 sealed front panels when mounted in an appropriate NEMA rated enclosure. See Chapter 2 for more details on installation and selection of an appropriate enclosure. All five sizes have very similar front panels with different dimensions. M1500 M1200 M1700 M1900 M2200W Figure 1.
The standard front panels are powder coated aluminum. The optional Stainless Steel front panel is type 304 and will not contain a logo pocket or logo on the front. The window area is clear polycarbonate when ordered without a touchscreen. The touchscreen option is chemically strengthened glass covered by a polyester overlay. The polyester overlay has better resistance to chemicals than the polycarbonate window.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB PORTS UNLESS THE POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF AND THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS Chapter 2 - Installation of Computer Panel Mount M-Series Unit installation The panel mount versions of the M-Series are intended to be mounted in and used where NEMA 1, NEMA 4/4x and NEMA 12 type enclosures are employed. Enclosures made of heavier gauge metal work better because they won’t deform or bend as easily when the monitor’s sealing gasket is compressed.

Rack Mount Unit Installation The M1900 with a rack mount front panel is intended to be mounted to a 19.0” wide rack in a NEMA Type 1 or better enclosure. The unit can be mounted using standard rack mount hardware (not supplied) via the eight (4 each side) counter-bored holes in the front of the panel. The front panel is intended to be mounted in a vertical height of 9 U (16.0”) on the rack. This unit is not NEMA sealed when mounted like the panel mount versions.
Connecting Power to the M-Series Connecting power to the Panel Mount and Rack Mount M-Series units: The M-Series units are powered from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz or optionally from 24 VDC. Damage will occur if 100-240 VAC power is connected to an M-Series unit equipped with the 24 VDC input power option. ePC-Series equipped units with the 24 VDC option will have a “-24” suffix in their model number such as M1500-24 or M1900T-24.
NOTE: WHEN USING USB CONNECTION FOR THE TOUCHSCREEN THE USE OF THE USB RETENTION BRACKET IS REQUIRED FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR NONHARDAOUS NOTE: TO PREVENT INADVERTENT DISCONNECTION OF VIDEO AND/OR SERIAL TOUCHSCREEN CABLES ASSURE THAT THE THUBSCREWS ARE SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED. WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOW TO BE FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.
Protective Cover Installation (Optional if desired) Step 1: Gather the parts of the protective cover; top shell, bottom shell, label insert, and wire tie. The picture shows wire tie (top), label insert (right), bottom shell (left), and top shell (lower right). Step 2: Insert your pre-wired connector (with the screws facing up) into the bottom shell. (See manual for cable wiring instructions).
Connecting Power to Enclosed (-EN) units: The enclosed M-Series units are powered from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz only. Because these are stand alone Type 1 devices and do not require an additional NEMA type enclosure, a different type power connection is required. These units use a more standard IEC type power cord like found on most computers. There is a retention clip that can be utilized to help retain the cord from falling out. A US three prong cord is supplied.
NOTE: WHEN USING USB TOUCHSCREEN CONNECTION THE USE OF THE USB RETENTION BRACKET IS REQUIRED FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR NONHARDAOUS LOCATIONS. NOTE: TO PREVENT INADVERTENT DISCONNECTION OF VIDEO AND/OR SERIAL TOUCHSCREEN CABLES ASSURE THAT THE THUBSCREWS ARE SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED. WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOW TO BE FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.
Turning on the Computer and Monitor With power applied to the monitor and all cables connected you may power up the computer and press the POWER button on the rear of the monitor. The POWER LED will switch from off to green. The monitor will perform an automatic self configuration and begin displaying an image. If no image appears, it may be because the monitor has the wrong video input selected. Press the UP button on the rear of the monitor to change between VGA and DVI-D inputs.
Chapter 3 - Monitor OSD and Settings On Screen Display (OSD) Controls The OSD controls are used for making adjustments to the monitor’s settings and are located on the back of the monitor. They consist of a single LED and five push buttons whose functions are described in the tables below.
Button and LED Functions BUTTON FUNCTION DISPLAY Pressing this button once wakes the monitor up. Pressing the POWER button again turns off the back light inverter and puts the monitor in a reduced power state but the touch screen remains active. It is important to note that this switch does not disconnect power from the monitor.

OSD Message Displays OUT OF FREQUENCY The following OSD message will appear if the horizontal or vertical refresh rate of the incoming video signal is outside the range of the monitor. NO SIGNAL When the monitor is first turned on it performs a set of self diagnostics. If no incoming video signal is detected immediately following self diagnostics, the following message will appear. This message will remain displayed indefinitely until a valid signal is detected. The LED remains green.
POWER SAVER MODE The following message appears when the monitor is on but in DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) mode. This occurs after a valid incoming video signal is no longer preset or when the PC has signaled the monitor to enter the POWER SAVER MODE. The message is displayed for 5 seconds and then removed. The LED remains amber. The “PC” POWER SAVER MODE message indicates the monitor is setup to receive incoming video through the 15-pin analog VGA input connector.
