Northstar 8000i 15" Monitor Installation Manual
5 Mounting the Northstar 8000i 15 Inch Monitor
Choosing the best mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display for the 8000i
System should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see
the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is
high-contrast and anti-reflective, and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results, install
the 8000i 15" Monitor out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare
from windows or bright objects.
NOTE: The LCD itself is the front panel. There is no plastic lens in front of the LCD. It has a
special bonded anti-reflective and scratchproof film on the LCD front to assure no fogging
and best contrast. DO NOT hit the lens with sharp or heavy objects, since expensive LCD
damage may occur.
The 8000i system is designed to allow full operation of the unit from a USB mouse or other
pointing device. If the mounting location means that the unit is not easily within reach of the
user in the helm chair you may wish to also install a 8000i Remote Keypad or third party USB
Trackball to the helm chair.
Leave sufficient clearance space behind the 8000i 15" Monitor to connect all relevant cables.
Good ventilation is required behind the mounting panel. Poor ventilation may cause the
8000i 15" Monitor to overheat, which, in turn, will cause the unit not to run at optimum
performance. For overall width and height requirements, please see specifications (see "15
inch Monitor Specifications" page 36) .
The 8000i system requires the use of the touch screen or external mouse. If the unit is to be
mounted outdoors and may experience conditions that would require the Touch Screen to
be disabled (e.g. Hail, Snow) we recommend that a waterproof pointing device (e.g. 8000i
Remote Keypad or Waterproof USB mouse) is connected to the system.
NOTE: The touch screen will only work with Northstar 8000i processors
Viewing Angle
The viewing angle can influence the viewability of the 8000i 15" Monitor. The best angle is
from the top to slightly below perpendicular. Lower than perpendicular and the screen
image will fade slightly. See following diagram.
