3. Installation
3.1 Connection.
The image displays various connectors including a main 'All in one' connector, USB Touch, VGA Input, Reserved, Power In, Video 1, CCD, and Audio In.
Power supply: main power supply. Connect this line to 10A fused vehicle's power battery.
VGA input: computer or any device with VGA input.
USB Touch: touch controller HMI USB client.
Audio input R: Audio input Right channel.
Audio input L: Audio input Left channel.
Video input AV1: Composite Video input 1.
CCD Input: Composite Video input with *auto-switch and * auto-start feature.
Auto-switch: the monitor will automatically switch to the CCD input when composite Video signal is present on CCD input. The monitor will return to the previous input once the signal isn't present.
Auto-start: the monitor will automatically power on and switch to CCD input when signal is present. The monitor will turn to power-off automatically when the signal isn't present.
Typical connection:
This diagram illustrates a typical connection setup. It shows a car battery (12/24V) connected via a 5A fused line to a power distribution point. From this point, connections are made to a PC/DEVICE which has RS232, USB, and VGA ports. The monitor is also connected to this distribution point, with inputs labeled AV1 (VIDEO), AV2 (DVD), and CCD (CAMERA).
