Installation Instructions
Preparing for Installation
Important! Perform the following steps BEFORE Installation of the monitor into the
panel.
1. Ensure that sufficient power is available.
2. Ensure that sufficient space is available to allow for proper air flow into and out of the unit.
3. Ensure that the air temperature around the unit (top and bottom) will not exceed the rated
specifications of the unit.
ꢀ The maximum rated temperature of the HIS-RL17 is 50°C (122°F).
ꢀ Also, remember that even though this product is designed to operate at
50°C, the life span of any electronic device is shortened when it is con-
sistently operated at high temperatures. Therefore it is wise to take
steps to keep the temperature of the ambient air around the unit as low
as possible.
4. Ensure that the ambient humidity of the air around the unit does not exceed the rated
specifications for the unit.
ꢀ The maximum rated humidity for the HIS-RL17 is 90% non-condensing.
5. If the display will be mounted far from the computer using long cables or extender de-
vices, the full configuration should be bench-tested prior to final installation for easy trou-
bleshooting.

Setting the Timing Mode
Setting the timing mode of your computer graphics adapter (or other video source) is impor-
tant for maximizing the quality of the screen image and for minimizing eye strain. The timing
mode consists of the resolution (example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency;
example 60 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OSD (On-screen Display) controls to
adjust the screen image.
For the best picture quality set your LCD display timing mode to:
VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz
Please refer to the computer graphics adapter manufacturer’s manual for instructions on set-
ting the resolution and timing mode. In Microsoft Windows, these settings may be found at
this location:
ME, 2000, XP: Control Panel > Display > Settings
Vista: Control Panel > Personalization > Display Settings

Cleaning
CAUTION! DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS SUCH AS PAPER TOWELS OR
DIRTY SHOP RAGS ON THE DISPLAY AS IT WILL SCRATCH THE PROTECTIVE
COATING. ALWAYS USE A SOFT CLOTH, PREFERABLY MADE OF COTTON.
Resistive Touchscreen Model
Any standard glass cleaner can be used to clean the touchscreen. Always spray the
glass cleaner on the cloth or towel and then clean the touchscreen. Glass cleaner
sprayed directly on the monitor could possibly leak inside a non-sealed unit and
cause damage.
Vinegar or ammonia will not hurt the touchscreen. Again, spray the cloth and then
clean the touchscreen.
Tempered Anti-Reflective Glass Window
Use any standard glass cleaner as long as there is no abrasive or oily content. The
anti-reflective coatings are physically part of the surface of the glass and resist deg-
radation to the Military Specifications.
Acrylic Window
Monitors with acrylic protective windows can be cleaned in the same manner as the
touchscreen or glass window.
