Mounting
The M101 can be conveniently flush or pedestal mounted (with optional Bracket/RAM mount kit). Flush Mounting: Refer to the mounting template and instructions
included in the packaging. RAM Mounting: Attach the diamond shaped mounting ball plate to the back of the M101 bracket using screws with lock washers. Take
care to tighten just snug, not over tighten. Attach the circular mounting ball plate to your desired location. Attach the adjustable arm to the circular and diamond
shaped mounting plates. Adjust the display angle as desired. Note: As an added precaution to avoid accidental detachment, secure the adjustable clamp with cable
wrap or bungee cord.
Wiring
Power: The M101 monitor is designed for 12 Volt power input. NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT DIRECTLY TO A 24 VOLT POWER SOURCE AS THIS WILL DAMAGE
THE DISPLAY AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. If you need to connect directly to a 24 volt system, please consult with your dealer or Argonaut and we can supply
you with an optional 24 volt DC-DC converter. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO AVOID IMPROPER CROSSING WIRES (POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE) AS THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE DISPLAY ELECTRONICS. For added protection, you may add an inline DC-DC converter to assure steady, clean power under all circumstances.
Input Cabling: Attach either the standard or waterproof (optional) power, 2 HDMI cables and VGA cable to monitor connectors and to PC or alternate input device.
Button Panel Control (Refer To Attached Graphic)
The side mounted button panel allows convenient control over monitor settings, signal input and brightness. From top to bottom, functions are as follows:
1.)
LED: This indicator light remains green when connected to power and turns flashing red when connected signal input cables. NOTE: LED will change to
solid red when the monitor is connected to USB for touch screen input to PC.
2.)
Power Button: Powers screen on/off.
3.)
Menu: Opens on screen display menu for monitor control settings. Note: We recommend maintaining the optimal factory settings and only making specific
adjustments for special circumstances.
4.)
Up Button: Allows movement to up menu item (s)
5.)
Down Button: Allows movement to down menu item (s)
6.)
Exit/Signal Select: Allows Menu exit/close. Is also a hot key to change input signal between HDMI1, HDMI2 and VGA.
7.)
Brightness Control Gradient: Allows brightness control to maximum at top and minimum at bottom. Note that LED brightness automatically dims according
to your screen brightness to avoid a bright LED during night operation.
Maintenance & Care
When not in use for extended periods of time we recommend turning off power to the M101 and disconnecting power input. For cleaning the display, do not use
harsh chemicals or Windex glass cleaner. We recommend cleaning with fresh clean water (distilled is ideal) and a clean soft terry or micro fiber cloth. Do not allow
salt water residue to remain on the glass as it may damage the antireflective optics.
