Start Your Installation Connecting the Display (Figure 1.0) To configure the monitor, please refer to the following figure and procedures. 1. Be sure the computer or video source is turned off. 2. Connect the 12V DC power(1.0). During initial turn on with no video applied, the display will automatically power on with a self test pattern displayed. The self test pattern consists of alternating screens of black, white, red, green, and blue. 3.

How to Use the OSD Menus 1. Press the "Menu" button to pop up the on-screen menu and to select between the four main menus. 2. Choose the adjustment items by pressing the "Select/Auto" button. 3. Adjust the value of the adjustment items by pressing the "+" or "-" button. 4. The OSD menu will automatically close if you have left it idle for a pre-set time.

Brightness Control The brightness of the monitor may be controlled automatically or manually, and the minimum brightness is adjustable. By default, the monitor is configured for automatic brightness control with a minimum brightness setting of approximately 250 cd/m2. Automatic Brightness Control In automatic brightness control mode, a photo sensor mounted on the front of the display measures the ambient lighting condition (the illuminance).
Manual Brightness Control In manual brightness control mode, an externally supplied voltage determines the monitor brightness. To use manual brightness control mode instead of the default automatic brightness control mode: 1. set pin 4 (/EXT_DIM) of the external dimming connector (J1) to a logic low 2. apply a 0 to 5V analog input to pin 3 (DIM_INPUT) of the external dimming connector A potentiometer may be used to apply the voltage to the DIM_INPUT, as shown in the figure below.
Minimum Brightness Limit The factory set minimum brightness is approximately 250 cd/m2. In most applications the factory setting is desired to maintain the widest dimming range possible. But for applications where 250 cd/m2 is too low but some dimming is still desired, the minimum brightness limit may be increased. The OSD controls are used to access and change the minimum brightness limit setting, as described in the User Controls section of this manual.
As with any OSD setting, a change to the minimum brightness limit will be permanently stored and will be unaffected by turning off the monitor power. The minimum brightness limit will affect the minimum brightness of both the automatic brightness control mode and the manual brightness control mode identically. Below is a graph showing the impact of various minimum brightness limit settings on the automatic brightness control mode.

Available Options Power Supply and AC Power Cord The LC1502R requires a 12VDC power input. Many users will have the required 12VDC available in their existing system. Alternatively, a power supply that is appropriately rated for the LC1502R is available from Planar. The supply is available with the AC power cord configured with either a European plug or a US plug.
Cooling Kit For outdoor applications, a cooling kit may be desired to prevent excessive heating of the LCD display. In direct sunlight, the front surface of the display (the LCD cell) may reach temperatures well above the ambient temperature.
Touch Screens The LC1502R is available with two different types of touch screen technology: near field imaging (NFI) and capacitive. Both come pre-installed; the touch screen itself is mounted to the front of the monitor and the touch screen controller module is mounted on the back. NFI technology utilizes a thick glass substrate that provides “vandal-proof” protection. Capacitive technology is more rugged than resistive, and is usually the touch screen of choice for heavy use, unattended environments.
Set up 1. Refer to Planar mechanical outline drawing 076-0596-xx for the recommended mounting pattern for this display. 2. Separate the LCD monitor from the touch bezel for mounting. a. Remove the controller cover in order to remove the touch screen controller cable. b. Unscrew the 2 M4 nuts on the side mounting brackets. c. Separate the LCD monitor 3. Mount the touch screen to the inside surface of your device. 4. Install the monitor on the hooks and reconnect the flex cable to the controller. 5.
Capacitive Touch Screen LC1502R with Capacitive Touch Screen The LC1502R with capacitive touch screen – model LC1502RTC – is designed to be installed in enclosures placed in high ambient lighting environments that are protected from extreme environmental conditions. It utilizes a standard 3M capacitive touch screen. Set Up 1. Refer to Planar mechanical outline drawing 076-0587-xx for the mounting hole locations. 2.
Appendix Troubleshooting If you are experiencing trouble with the LCD display, refer to the following. If the problem persists, please contact your local stat or visit Planar Support at www.Planar.com/support. See support contact information on rear cover. For all video image problems, first try using the Auto-Adjustment in the OSD menu. Problem: No image appears on screen.
Going to Sleep This message means the LCD display is under the power saving mode. In addition, the LCD display will go to this sleeping mode when experiencing a sudden signal disconnecting problem. Unsupport Mode This message means the signal of the computer graphic card is not compatible with the LCD display. When the signal is not included in the compatibility mode we have listed in the Appendices of this manual, the LCD display will appear this message.
