Introduction

The Simrad MO Series monitors offer a low profile, high brightness solution for displaying video from a variety of sources. The range includes six models; the 16”, 19”, and 24” Touch series, and the 16”, 19” , and 24” Pilot series. The Touch models are suited to both indoor and outdoor (direct sunlight) use, whereas the Pilot series are suited to enclosed helm installations. The Pilot series do not utilize a touchscreen, therefore when connected to a

Marine Processor, require an external controller such as the OP40. All monitors in the range accept video via HDMI, DVI-I and composite inputs.

Display installation

It is recommended that the unit be powered and connected to a video source to assist in selecting a suitable mounting location, prior to irreversible modification of the vessel’s helm station. When planning the display location, the following points should be considered to ensure safe, comfortable and reliable operation:

• Convenience - the mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the controls and should enable easy viewing of the display.

• Viewing angle - the viewing angle influence the viewability of the monitor. The recommended viewing angles relative to perpendicular are shown in the illustrations below.

• Access - there must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connections to the rear connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable. Also ensure there is sufficient access for tightening wing nuts/screws on the mounting brackets, where used.

• Interference - the selected location should be far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers.

• Magnetic compass - mount the display at least 1 metre (3 ft.) away from a magnetic compass.

• Environment - to prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear of the display unit; ensure that there is adequate ventilation, particularly if the display unit is podmounted. If the space behind the display is air conditioned or cooled by a fan, it will help in keeping the unit’s temperature down when mounted in direct sunlight. The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although the display unit is waterproof from the front when installed correctly, it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray.

!

Warning: Damage incurred to monitor through failure to provide adequate ventilation could invalidate your warranty. Do not recess device in to an enclosure shared with a heat source. e.g. engine compartment.

Cutout template

Use the supplied scale template to help mark up the cutout area.

¼ Note: Always check the template dimensions against the physical monitor to ensure dimensions are correct, prior to making the cutout.

Fixing options

The MO series monitors can be dash or bracket mounted (using optional VESA adaptor).

When dash mounting, unit should be fitted using the rear mounted dash mount brackets, and bezel screws from the front. Exclusion of the dash mount bracket will greatly increase

VESA mounting the display

A VESA bracket adaptor is available as an optional part for all display sizes, allowing a variety of wall and free standing bracket mounting options. The fasteners for attachment to the display are included with the bracket.

Monitors mounted using a VESA bracket have IPX2 rating, and should be mounted in an area sheltered from rain and sea spray.

¼ Note: Bracket and monitor shown apply to MO16/19 models. MO24 is fastened with six machine screws.

¼ Note: The monitor should not be tilted forward by more than 15 degrees, as this compromises the IPX2 rating. In fully enclosed helm stations, this limitation may be disregarded.

¼ Note: The bracket mounting points on the monitor are only intended to carry the weight of the monitor - do not install the monitor in such a place where it may be used as a hand hold, or have additional equipment attached to it.

USB connection

Connection using USB is straightforward, as regular off-the-shelf cables may be used, which are available in various lengths (generally up to 5 m). The monitor end must be fitted with a USB type B male plug. The opposite end should suit the device being controlled, which typically will use the common USB type A male plug.

14 |

Connecting the display | MO Series User Manual

¼ Note: Where USB is used, cable length should not exceed 5 m when using regular cables.

Lengths over 5 m may be possible with the use of a USB cable fitted with active boosting.

¼ Note: Do not connect both serial and USB to the same video source.

¼ Note: Ensure any third party video source connected to the MO has an isolated USB connection to avoid potential damage due to incorrect installation, or failure elsewhere in the system.

¼ Note: The preferred method of connection is via serial cable, only serial touch can be configured to work for a specific video input. USB touch is output regardless of video input selection, which can lead to false touches when viewing a different video source.

Connecting NMEA 2000

When connected to a compatible processor, such as the NSO Marine Processor, the display should also be connected to the NMEA 2000 network. This enables the monitor’s home key to bring up the home screen. NMEA 2000 is also used for applying software updates from the processor to the display.

¼ Note: If the monitor is connected to the NMEA 2000 network and the monitor has its key beeps turned on, it will sound for any network alarm when the focus is on that screen.

Connecting HDMI cable

All hardware devices must be turned off prior to connecting or disconnecting the HDMI cable.

Troubleshooting tips

Issue Possible Cause

No picture - red LED ON LED on continuously indicates no (compatible) video is available on currently selected source.

Confirm that the correct video input is selected.

Check that the video signal cable is properly connected to the display. Test cable with ‘known good‘ equipment.

Check display settings of the video source - ensure the resolution is supported by the display.

Ensure brightness is turned up to a suitable level.

No picture - red LED OFF Make sure power is connected to an appropriate DC voltage source, and that the fuse is fitted or breaker is switched on. After pressing power button, the red LED should blink as monitor starts up, followed by momentary display of the logo on the screen.

Image persistence

Picture quality & image stability

Image persistence occurs when a ghost of an image remains on the screen after the screen image has been changed. Unlike a CRT monitor, an LCD monitor’s image persistence is not permanent. To erase an image ghost, turn the monitor off for several hours. To avoid this condition, do not leave the monitor displaying the same image unnecessarily, for an extended period of time.

Check for video cable condition; is shield intact, and does cable not exceed maximum distance for video standard.

Check the signal source is outputting a compatible resolution at a supported frequency.

Monitor may be receiving incorrect/bad sync signals from source.

Video compromised by interference from other equipment.

Supply voltage has dropped below 10 V. Will restore at >11 V.

Low level backlight

Slight distortion in text or graphics

Display is present but

“bars” appear or roll across screen

Vertical shaded bars on screen image

Unit has been subject to excessively hot direct sunlight for an extended period and/or unit enclosure is too hot. Automatic thermal protection has been enabled.

Not working in native resolution, where possible adjust the video source to output correct resolution.

Cleaning and maintenance

If the display requires cleaning, use a damp soft cloth (e.g. microfibre) with a mild, nonabrasive glass cleaner. Ensure cloth is regularly washed or replaced.

¼ Note: Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow the screen to air dry.

¼ Note: Never use acidic, ammonia based, or abrasive cleaning products to clean the display.

These products will damage special coatings on the glass.

¼ Note: To prevent damage caused by lightning strikes, it is recommended to disconnect the display from the power source during intense storms, or when the product is not in use for extended periods.

Display removal

The display’s top and bottom bezel trim must be removed in order to undo the fasteners holding unit in place by the mounting flange. The bezel trim have been designed to be very low profile, and therefore fully conceal the locking tabs that keep them from being accidentally disengaged from the mounting flange. To release the locking tab, it is necessary to gently lever the centre of the bezel trim away from the mounting flange. To remove the cover, simultaneously slide it sideways; to the right for the top cover, and to the left for the bottom cover.

The mounting brackets should be loosened in reverse order to fitting. To remove the brackets, depress the locking tab before sliding brackets upwards.

Replacing the gasket

The foam gasket on the rear of the display bezel is available as an optional accessory, should the factory installed item be damaged.

Fit the two lengths of foam gasket in to the rebated channel on the back of the displays mounting flange. Only remove backing paper from the side to be stuck to monitor, and only remove a small amount at a time.

Ensure the gasket ends of the two halves overlap and make contact.

¼ Note: take care not to stretch gasket when applying. Only pull gasket minimum amount required to lay it on straight. The backing paper on outside of gasket will help prevent stretch, and should only be removed when display is ready to install in to dashboard.

Replacing the filters

Where displays are installed in an unsealed enclosure, air intake filters should be inspected yearly, and replaced if noticeably fouled. If vessel is subject to major works involving spray painting or sanding, it is recommended that the monitor either be removed, or completely covered in a clean fabric drop cloth.

¼ Note: MO24 models require five filter elements, whereas the MO16 and MO19 require three.

The filter accessory kit includes five elements, to cover requirement for all models.

Other maintenance

Only qualified service personnel should perform any repairs that require opening of the case.

!

Warning: Some components in the display unit operate on high voltages. Repairs require specialized service procedures and tools only available to service technicians - there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the display unit cover or attempt to service the equipment. Any attempt to do so may make the warranty invalid.
