11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
16. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
17. Installation should be done only by qualified personnel and conform to all local codes.
18. Unless this unit is specifically marked as NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure, it is designed for indoor use only and it must not be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.
19. Only use installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum specified load.

Description

The PMCL300 Series TFT LCD monitors, designed specifically for the security industry, provide a high resolution display of computer signals and composite video. These 17- and 19-inch monitors use a color, thin film transistor (TFT) active matrix LCD panel that automatically adapts to the appropriate input resolution. The RGB and DVI mode settings allow the monitor to seamlessly accept a variety of native resolutions, making the PMCL300 Series compatible with lower resolution products. The PMCL300 Series provides looping composite (BNC) and S-Video inputs. Additionally, these models provide an RGB input to support the use of digital video recorders (DVRs) and PC applications. This multimode functionality makes the PMCL300A Series ideal for applications requiring an RGB display with composite video capabilities. This functionality also incorporates quick panel response time to minimize ghosting in motion video, ergonomic design, and low power consumption. The PMCL300 Series features a folding picture frame-style desktop stand, optional rack mount kits, and VESA®-compliant mounting holes to easily adapt to any VESA-compliant wall mount. These monitors automatically detect and display the correct video format (NTSC or PAL) and are powered by an internal autoranging power supply. The PMCL300 Series uses four long life CCFT (cold cathode florescent tube) backlights to maintain the brightness level over time, eliminating the brightness degradation common in aging CRT monitors. The on-screen display (OSD) menus and front panel controls provide easy configuration of standard monitor display parameters right on the screen. These settings are then stored in the monitor, which eliminates the need for a computer when adjusting basic monitor functions. The PMCL319W offers a wider viewing area than the standard PMCL319A for situations that require a broader viewpoint.

DESKTOP STAND
The monitor comes with a desktop footstand attached, so it can be placed on any flat surface (desk or table). You can manually adjust the PMCL300 Series monitor to the viewing angle you want by repositioning the footstand on the back of the monitor. To detach the stand, remove the four mounting screws from the back of the monitor.

WALL MOUNTING
The monitor can be mounted to a wall using one of the following optional mounts: PMCL-WM, PMCL-WMT, PMCL-WM1A, and PMCL-WM2A
wall mount kits if you want the monitor attached to the wall.

• The PMCL-WM mount has a maximum load capacity of 68 lb (30.8 kg).
• The PMCL-WMT, PMCL-WM1A, and PMCL-WM2A mounts have a maximum load capacity of 90 lb (40.8 kg).

WARNING: Pelco strongly recommends that a professional installer performs the bracket and LCD monitor installation to ensure the proper installation and attachment.

To mount the monitor to a wall (refer to Figure 2):

1. Align the screw holes in the wall mount with the mounting holes in the back of the monitor.
2. Insert four M4 x 0.7 x 12 mm screws (not supplied), and tighten.
3. Refer to the applicable mount manual for instructions on how to attach the mount to the wall.

RACK MOUNTING

The monitor can be mounted in a rack using the PMCL-17ARM, PMCL-19ARM or PMCL- 19WRM rack mount kit (depending on the model). The weight of the mount is 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) and has a maximum load capacity of 22 lb (10 kg).

To mount the monitor in a rack

1. Attach the left and right brackets to the monitor using the eight M4 x 0.7 screws (supplied) with the rack mount kit.
2. Attach the monitor to the rack (refer to Figure 4):
   • Position the monitor brackets against the rack. Align the bracket slots with the holes in the rack.
   • Insert eight screws of an appropriate size (not supplied) through the bracket slots and into the holes in the rack.
