Introducing the Planar LX1200TR Touch Monitor  
The LX1200TR is a high-performance, rugged touch monitor intended for demanding  
environments, such as those inside motor vehicles. The monitor features a 12.1-inch diagonal liquid  
crystal display, with SVGA resolution, bright enough to be read in full sunlight. The monitor also  
includes stereo speakers, and a sturdy magnesium enclosure that can withstand shock and  
vibration.

Features  
The brightness control allows you to easily adjust the display to match the ambient light, from  
full sunlight to night, even while wearing gloves. Its convenient dial design also enables you to  
quickly hide the information on the screen when needed (“screen blanking”).  
The monitor’s transflective display uses reflected light from the environment — even direct  
sunlight —to provide a bright image that can be easily viewed under any lighting conditions.  
The monitor’s autosync function eliminates the need for adjusting the monitor for the best  
image— the monitor automatically makes any needed adjustments whenever it is powered up  
or the display mode is changed.  
Two Type A USB connections are available for connecting peripheral devices such as a  
keyboard, mouse, or USB drive.  
The monitor supports standard VGA signal input — native 800 x 600 SVGA resolution —  
as well as 1024 x 768 XGA and 640 x 480 VGA.  
The monitor’s magnesium enclosure is splash-resistant, and designed to withstand shock and  
vibration for greater endurance and reliability.

Installing the LX1200TR  
Installing the LX1200TR monitor consists of three steps:  
1. Mounting the monitor using the mounting interface built into the monitor’s back cover —  
see below.  
2. Connecting the monitor to the computer and power source — see page 8.  
3. Installing the touch screen driver software — see page 11.  
Before Installing  
Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor.  
The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation, system control, or  
vehicle information. If the monitor will be used for other purposes, it should be installed in such  
a way that it will only operate while the vehicle is not moving (such as when the parking brake is  
in use). Review all applicable state and local laws and regulations to make sure the monitor is  
used properly and safely.  
The installed monitor must not interfere with the driver’s vision.  
Step 1 — Mounting the Monitor  
The back of the LX1200TR includes a mounting interface that you can use to mount the monitor on  
a swing arm or other LCD monitor fixture, as follows.  
IMPORTANT:  
FOR BEST RESULTS, USE THE MOUNTING HOLES AROUND THE EDGES OF THE MONITOR.  
1. Mount the fixture in its planned location according to the instructions included with the fixture.  
2. Attach the monitor to the fixture using the attachments on the back of the monitor, shown in  
the following diagram.  
Notes:  
Use only a Planar-approved mounting bracket for in-vehicle use.  
Mounting bracket and hardware are not included with the monitor, and must be  
obtained separately.  
Use the proper M4 x 0.7 screws for attaching the monitor to the mounting fixture.  
For low-vibration environments, the back of the monitor includes a VESA Standard  
100mm mounting pattern.

Step 2 — Connecting the Monitor  
Once the LX1200TR is mounted in place, connect it to the computer (or other video source) and the  
12 VDC power supply as follows.  
Note:  
This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer. However,  
depending on your particular hardware configuration, these connections may be to a  
dock or other device rather than directly to the computer.  
1. As needed, route any data and power cables from the computer to the monitor.  
2. Make sure the computer is turned off.  
3. Connect the 12 VDC power supply cable to the monitor’s power supply.  
Notes:  
Use a 5-Amp fuse in line to the power source.  
Also, to extend battery life, you should install a device that shuts off power to the  
monitor while the monitor is inactive. (An example is First Mobil Technologies’  
Voltage Armor product. www.firstmobiletechnologies.com.)

4. Connect the power supply and power interrupt cables (for the All-In-One power switch, if your  
computer or docking station is so equipped) to the connectors on the bottom of the monitor.  
See the following diagram for connector locations.  
Notes:  
If needed, connect an audio cable to the audio port on the monitor, and to the  
headphone or audio line output connector on the computer.  
If an external keyboard or other USB device will be used with the monitor, plug it into  
either of the monitor’s Type A USB connectors.  
Two USB devices can be connected to the monitor.  
The following figure shows typical connections.

5. Turn on power to the computer. The monitor then turns on as soon as it receives a video signal  
from the computer, and its LED turns green.  
Also, the first time the monitor is powered up, it automatically displays a test pattern of  
repeating colored screens (black, white, red, green, and blue) until video a video signal is  
detected.  
6. The LX1200 monitor is Windows plug and play compatible. Install the monitor’s driver software  
and configure the monitor’s touch screen as needed — see below.  
Note:  
For best results, adjust the display mode of the computer to a resolution of 800 x 600,  
and a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
