EDL Displays, Inc. - Quick Setup Guide

This section describes the installation of the monitor. The monitor is pre-aligned at the factory to user input requirements. However, there may still be the need for some minor adjustments to be made. Those procedures will be provided later in the adjustment section.

Before unpacking, the carton should be inspected for shipping damage. The carton should be carefully opened and the monitor removed. The monitor should then be carefully inspected for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, the shipping carton and all packing materials should be saved for possible inspection by the shipping company. The shipping company should be notified at this time.

Before connecting the monitor, determine the a/c. power that is to be used and that the monitor is configured properly for that voltage. The voltage of the monitor may be changed at the power supply module accessible from the rear of the unit. The power supply must be removed for access to the voltage select switch. The power supply is configured for 110V operation at the factory unless otherwise specified by the customer.

When the monitor is placed in the Calibrate Mode a definite programmed sequence of calibration steps must be followed.

Adjust the vertical position by rotating the contrast control slowly until the picture is set to the desired position. This adjustment should be carefully adjusted to position the center of the image at the center of the phosphor.

To advance to the vertical size adjustment mode, press and release the Degauss/CAL switch.

Adjust the vertical size by rotating the contrast control slowly until the picture is set to the vertical size as desired. This adjustment should be carefully adjusted to position the bottom edge of the image about one-half inch from the bottom of the phosphor.

To advance to the horizontal position adjustment mode, press and release the Degauss/CAL switch.

Adjust the horizontal position by rotating the contrast control and then set the desired horizontal position.

To advance to the horizontal size adjustment mode, press and release the degauss/mode switch.

Adjust the horizontal size by rotating the contrast control and then set the horizontal size to the desired value.

To advance to the horizontal trap mode, press and release the degauss/mode switch.

Make the trapezoid adjustment by rotating the contrast and then set the control to eliminate the trapezoidal effect.

To advance to the pincushion adjustment mode, press and release the Degauss/CAL switch.

Make the pincushion adjustment by rotating the contrast control and then set the control to eliminate any pincushion effect.

To advance to the horizontal pincushion phase mode, press and release the Degauss/CAL switch.

Make the horizontal pincushion phase adjustment by rotating the contrast control and then set the control to the desired adjustment.

To exit the calibration procedure, press and release the Degauss/CAL switch twice at which time the contrast knob will return to controlling the contrast function.

Adjustments to the monitor are made from the monitor remote control. The remote control includes a membrane keypad with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The remote control panel provides monitor select, color balance, geometry and control level information all on the LCD. Monitor adjustment parameters are detailed in Table 1.1. To enter adjustment mode press the key of the monitor desired (in single monitor systems this is #1). Then press the key of the desired adjustment. Press the large up and down arrows for coarse adjustments and the small arrows for fine adjustments. The results of the adjustments are stored in temporary memory until they are saved by pressing F2 from the main menu at which time they are stored in permanent memory.

KEY(S)	FUNCTION

	"VPIN_MAG" bows all horizontal lines but the center out or in.
	"VPIN_CENT" bows all horizontal lines (including center) up or down.
	"VPIN_PHASE" slants all horizontal lines but the center away/toward each other.
	"HPIN" barrels or pincushions (bows) all vertical lines but the center.
	"HTRAP" slants all vertical lines but the center away/toward each other.
	"TILT" rotates the screen clockwise or counter-clockwise about the center.
	"HTILT" slants all vertical lines relative to horizontal lines.
	Vertical focus adjusts focus from center to top; horizontal focus from center to sides.
	Equalizes focus on left and right sides of the screen.
	Adjusts the overall convergence of the horizontal R,G,B lines.
	Adjusts the R,G,B convergence of the center vertical lines relative to outer lines.
	Adjusts the R,G,B convergence of the left edge vertical lines relative to the right.
	Adjusts the overall R,G,B convergence of vertical lines across the entire screen.
	Adjusts gain/contrast level of all colors ("ALL") or each individual color.
	Adjusts brightness/black level of all colors (“ALL”) or each individual color.
	Enters the maintenance mode of the monitor. For EDL technicians only.
