HOW TO USE EXTERNAL CONTROL

ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
The Multi-Format Monitor has two external control terminals. One is the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal, which allows the monitor to be controlled by the MAKE(make contact) or TRG. (trigger contact) method selected in the function setting.

• MAKE (make contact system): Controls functions either by short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th terminal) or stable disconnection (terminal open) of the controlled terminal.
• TRG. (trigger system): Controls the function by instantaneously (one second) short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th terminal) the controlled terminal.
• MAKE or TRIGGER are selected from REMOTE SYSTEM in the setup menu.

The other terminal used for remote control is the RS-485 terminal, and this allows the monitor to be controlled by serial communication.
NOTE: Control priority is in the following order; 1 MAKE/TRIGGER terminal

2 RS-485 terminal > 3 front panel buttons. When trigger contact is on, the front panel buttons can be operated.

HOW TO USE THE MAKE/TRIGGER TERMINAL

1. The TRIGGER (trigger contact) system switches each setting by instantaneously (approx. 1 second) short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th terminal) the controlled terminal.
2. TALLY (1st terminal) and EXTERNAL CONTROL (14th terminal) must be controlled with the MAKE (make contact) system even under the TRIGGER (trigger contact) system.
3. Activating each with “R-” or without “R-” setting in the AREA MARKER menu is possible. Refer to “AREA MARKER” on page 14 for details.

Operation

1. Short-circuit EXTERNAL CONTROL (14th terminal) to GND (15th terminal) to activate the external control.
2. Under the MAKE system, controls each function by short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th terminal) or stable disconnection (terminal open) of the controlled terminal.
3. Under the TRIGGER (trigger contact) system, controls each function by Pulse Control, that is by instantaneously (approx. 1 second) short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th terminal) the controlled terminal.

NOTES:

• When using INPUT A (the 2nd pin) through INPUT F (7th terminal), only the terminal in use should be short-circuited, the others must be disconnected.
• Under the TRIGGER system, multiple terminals cannot be short-circuited to GND (15th terminal). Be sure to short-circuit the single terminal to GND.

HOW TO USE THE RS-485 TERMINAL
You can control the monitor from the controller (exclusive for this monitor) or your PC via the RS-485 terminal. For details on operating the monitor from the PC, consult the service center.

1. Cable
   Prepare a straight cable with a D-sub connector (9-pin, male) and a D-sub connector (9-pin, male)

2. Communications Specifications

   • Baud Rate: 4800/9600/19200 (factory pre-set; 4800)
   • Data Bits: 8 bits
   • Parity: No parity
   • Stop Bits: 1
   • Communication Cord: ASCII Cord

3. Commands
   Format

Communication Procedures
The following is the communication procedures.

1. Starting the communication
   Receives the connection command (!XXBCN1Cr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@XXBOKCr) to the PC

2. Performing the external control
   Receives the control command (!XXXXCr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@XXBOKCr) to the PC

   • The monitor repeats these receiving and sending if necessary.

3. Terminating the communication
   Receives the termination command (!XXBCN0Cr) [ Sends the monitor’s status (@XXBOKCr) to the PC

   • Hand-shake communication is used. This means that after sending a command to the monitor, the PC must receive a status return from the monitor before sending the next command.
   • When the monitor is controlled by a PC via RS-485, a conversion adapter (RS-232p[RS-485) is also required.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Solutions to common problems related to your monitor are described here. If none of the solutions presented here solve the problem, unplug the monitor and consult a JVC-authorized dealer or service center for assistance.

The following are not malfunctions:

• You may see two horizontal lines on the monitor. They are the shadows of the “damper lines” that are necessary for composing the monitor. These lines are not a malfunction.
• About CRT tube reflection (when Zoom mode is used.) The screen might appear as brownish-white. This is due to a reflection of part of the image on the CRT caused by certain signal sources, and it is not a malfunction.
• When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be colored. This is due to the structure of the cathode ray tube and will disappear when another image is displayed.
• You may sometimes experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup of static electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.
• The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality appears on the screen as well.
• If two or more monitors are operated next to each other, their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon is due to mutual interference; it is not a malfunction. Move the monitors away from each other until the interference disappears or turn the power off on any monitor that is not being used.

When black vertical lines appear on the screen
Black vertical lines may appear on the screen if the aperture grill is tilted as a result of being shaken or jolted during shipment.
In this case, try tapping the monitor on the side. If this does get rid of the lines, follow the procedure below.

1. Display a white screen, so that the problem area can be seen clearly.
2. Maximize the “CONTRAST” and “BRIGHT” adjustments, then place a bright white rectangle on the area.
3. After a while, the lines should disappear.

SELF-CHECK INDICATIONS
When the screen goes blank, and one or more of the INPUT SELECT A through F buttons on the front control panel starts blinking…

This monitor has a self-check function, which allows it to detect malfunctions and alert you. This makes troubleshooting easier. Whenever a problem occurs, a combination of “self-check indicators” (INPUT SELECT A through F buttons) will blink and the monitor’s power automatically turns off. If this happens, follow the steps below and contact your dealer to resolve the problem.

1. Check which indicators are blinking.
2. Turn off the main power switch on the back of the monitor.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord from the AC outlet.
4. Contact your dealer with the information about which indicators are blinking.

NOTE: If you turn on the monitor’s power immediately after turning it off (or after a short-term power failure), the self-check indicators may blink, and no image may be displayed. When this happens, turn off the power, and wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again. If the self-check indicators have stopped blinking, you can use the monitor as usual.
