1.Overview
The LCD monitor SCD 1897 has been developed and constructed especially for industrial
applications. This monitor can be used in applications where a standard CRT-device would be
unsuitable,duetospaceorenvironmentalrestrictions.
ItscompactenclosureopensupawidespectrumofpossibleapplicationareasfortheSCD1897,
ranging from air-conditioned computer rooms behind a switchingcabinet door, tothe immediate
vicinityofmachineryinaspecialprotectiveenclosure.Asisthecaseforallindustrialsystems,the
monitorhasbeendesignedtowithstandtheparticulardemandsplaceduponsuchequipment,e.g.,it
isimmunetoelectromagneticradiationandcanwithstandalargetemperaturerange.
Thetrend-settingLCDtechnologyinthismonitorhasrelegatedpicturegeometrydistortionandcolour
patchestothepast.Evenatthelowrefreshrateof50Hz.thescreenremainsflicker-free.TheSCD
1897thusfulfilseventhestrictestergonomicrequirements.Picturesoflowerresolutionareexpanded
tofillthescreen.
TheSCD1897cansimultaneouslydisplayupto16millioncoloursenablingrealisticcolourimages
and videos to be displayed. The LCD-monitor contains special hardware to convert a standard
analogueVGAvideosignalforthedisplaycontroller.CompatibilitywithconventionalCRTmonitorsis,
thus,guaranteed.
ItisveryeasytoadjustthemonitorsettingsusingtheclearlydesignedOSD(OnScreenDisplay).The
“AutomaticAlignment”functiondoesawaywiththeneedtocarryouttediousadjustmentssuchas
picture position and phase. At the press of a button, the monitor performs these alignments
automatically.
TheSCD1897isequippedwithanactive18.1”TFTdisplaymodulewithamaximumresolutionof
1280x1024 pixels. The integrated power management system VESA DPMS, allows a significant
reduction in power consumption when the synchronisation signal from the computer has been
switchedoff,comparedwiththatunder“normal”operation.
Threebasicversionsofthismonitorareavailable:
1.asastand-alonechassis SCD1897-C(CTwithtouch-screen)

1.2.1. Instructions for Handling Assemblies Susceptible to
ElectrostaticShock
Most of the assemblies within the SCD 1897 LCD-monitor contain components which can be
destroyedbyelectrostaticvoltages.Itisalsopossiblefortheassembliestobedamagedinsucha
waythattotalfailuredoesnotoccur.
If you (as an authorised service technician) are handling such assemblies then the following
precautionsshouldbeobserved:
• Whensuchassembliesarebeinghandled,ameansofelectrostaticdischargemustbeavailable.
Thiscanbe,forexample,anearthedobject,whichcanbetouchedtodischargeelectrostatic
voltages.
• Thisappliestoalltoolsused(insulated).Theymustalsobedischargedatanearthedobject.
• Whenassembliesareremovedoraddedtothesystem,theunitmustalwaysbeswitchedoffand
thepowersupplycabledisconnected.
• Vulnerableassembliesshouldalwaysbeheldbytheiredge.Avoidtouchingtracksandcontact

PreparationforinstallingtheLCD-monitorincludethefollowingpoints:
• Removalofallpackaging
• Checkingofcomponentsfordamage
• Comparisonofcomponentsreceivedwiththoseonthedeliverynote
• Connectiontothecomputersystemandpowersupply
• Buildingintoyoursystem,bearinginmindtechnicalandergonomicaspects
2.1. RemovingthePackagingandCheckingIndividualParts
After unpacking all the delivered components, they should be checked for completeness and for
possibletransportdamage(visualinspection).Ifanydeficienciesarefoundthenpleasecontactthe

Theoriginalpackagingshouldbekeptforfuturetransportation.
2.2. InstallingtheLCD-Monitor
TheSCD1897-C(CT)canbemountedbehindafrontplateusingtwofixingbrackets.
