VOLTAGE OF EACH CONNECTOR • Voltage measurement in protect mode Because the relay signal is “L” in the protect mode, voltages of Vcc, Vs, and Va are not output. The protect mode is reset only when the power SW is turned off. Therefore, when measuring the voltage, turn off the power SW, then turn on the power by remote control.
VS AND -VY ADJUSTMENT When the Power Supply and PDP units are replaced, Vs and -Vy must be adjusted. Preparation : Heat-run for 5 minutes with a white pattern in the wide mode. Adjustment : Adjust Vs and -Vy in the no-signal state (Black picture). Test and adjustment points : Refer to the drawing below.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS 1. Installation Environment 1) Do not expose the display directly to vapor or heat. Protect the unit from rain or water. 2) The display uses glass material, and cracks easily. So, do not subject it to vibration and shock.
2. Installation Precautions 1) The support must withstand the weight of the unit. The standards of the country must be met. 2) Special care should be taken in areas where earthquakes occur frequently. (At a magnitude of six, each pipe must withstand a load of 100 to 150 kg). 3) Grounding should be performed.

4. Space Required Around a Plasma Monitor • Make sure that the display is installed where the temperature can be maintained between 0 °C to 40 °C. • Never attempt to tilt the display sideways or backward. • To prevent the power and other cables from being accidentally pulled, make sure that they run along the wall or through corners.
