15. What is a “U” or more specifically in a “Rack Mount PCs & Servers”?

A “Rack Unit” or “U” is an Electronic Industries Alliance or more commonly “EIA” standard measuring unit for rack mount type equipment. A “Rack Unit” is equal to 1.75″ in height. To calculate the internal usable space of a rack enclosure you would simply multiply the total amount of Rack Units by 1.75″. For example, a 4U rack enclosure would have 7.0″ of internal usable space (4 x 1.75”).

 

Stealth manufactures products that are designed to fit into standard EIA size rack enclosures. Stealth’s Rack Mount PCs, Displays/Monitors, KVM DIsplays and Keyboards are available in many sizes and configurations. The slim space saving series rack products are available in 1U (1.75″) and 2U (3.5″) in overall height. Since rack space is at a premium these slim products represent significant cost savings to the end user. Standard rackmount products are available in 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U configurations.

Cleaning and maintenance instructions can vary by manufacturer, but generally, you can use a soft, lint-free cloth with a mild cleaning solution to wipe the screen and enclosure. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the Display/Monitor’s protective features.
11. What mounting options are available for rugged industrial Display/Monitors?

Rugged industrial Display/Monitors offer various mounting options to suit different installation requirements. Common mounting options include:

 

Panel Mount: These Display/Monitors are designed to be mounted flush with a control panel or enclosure, providing a sleek and integrated appearance. Panel-mount Display/Monitors are often secured using mounting clips or bolts.

 

Desktop/VESA Mount: Rugged Display/Monitors with VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounting compatibility can be attached to VESA-compliant brackets or arms, allowing for flexible placement on walls, arms, or stands.

 

Rack Mount: Rack-mounted rugged Display/Monitors are suitable for installation in standard server racks or enclosures. They come in various rack-unit (U) sizes.

 

Open Frame: Open-frame Display/Monitors lack an enclosure and are designed for integration into custom-built enclosures or machinery. They are commonly used in OEM applications.

12. Can I switch between different mounting options for my rugged industrial Display/Monitor?

In many cases, it is possible to switch between mounting options, but this may require additional hardware or brackets. Check with our sales specialist to determine the compatibility and availability of interchangeable mounting accessories.

13. Are there thermal management issues with sunlight readable displays?
Yes – any high brightness backlight system will consume a significant amount of power, thereby increasing the LCD temperature. The brighter the backlight, the greater the heat generation. As well, if the LCD is used under direct sunlight additional heat will be generated as a result of sunlight exposure. Temperature issues have been handled through proper thermal management design incorporating passive and active cooling methods. This is extremely important in maintaining overall reliability and long-term operation.
14. What is a NIT?
A NIT is a measurement of light in candelas per meter square (Cd/m2)
For an LCD Display/Monitor it is brightness out of the front panel of the display. A NIT is a good basic reference when comparing brightness from Display/Monitor to Display/Monitor. Most desktop LCD’s or Notebook LCD’s have a brightness of 200 to 250 Nits. These standard LCD’s are not readable in direct or even indirect sunlight as they become washed out. Stealth offers a range of sunlight readable Displays for use in areas of high ambient light.
15. How do I know how many NIT’s I require for my application?
Applications will vary depending on the location of the LCD and how much ambient light is available that could cause the display to become washed out or unreadable. As a rule of thumb; notebooks and desktop LCD’s which are generally used in office light conditions are in the 200-250 nit range. For indoor use with uncontrolled or indirect sunlight it is recommended that a display of 500 nits or more be used. If the application is outdoors or in direct sunlight then at least 1000 nits should be considered.
16. How do I select a Touch Screen Technology for my Display/Monitor?
The four most common touch screen technologies include resistive, infrared, capacitive and SAW (surface acoustic wave). Each technology offers its own unique advantages. Resistive and capacitive touch screen technologies are the most popular for industrial applications. They are both very reliable. If the application requires that operators can wear gloves when using the touch screen, then we generally recommend the resistive technology (capacitive doesn’t support). Otherwise the capacitive technology (better optical characteristics) is more often recommended.
17. Display/Monitor Won't Power On:
  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the Display/Monitor and the power source.
  • Verify that the power source is working correctly by testing it with another device.
  • Look for any visible damage to the power cable or connectors.
18. No Display or Blank Screen:
  • Ensure that the Display/Monitor’s brightness and contrast settings are appropriate.
  • Check if the Display/Monitor is receiving a video signal from the connected source (e.g., computer, camera).
  • Test the Display/Monitor with a different video cable to rule out cable issues.
  • Verify that the Display/Monitor’s input source is correctly selected (e.g., VGA, HDMI, DVI).
19. Image Quality Problems:
  • If the image is distorted or flickering, check the video cable for loose connections.
  • Adjust the Display/Monitor’s resolution and refresh rate settings to match the source device’s capabilities.
  • Inspect the source device for graphics card or output issues.
20. Touchscreen Not Responding:
  • Clean the touchscreen surface to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be affecting touch sensitivity.
  • Ensure that the touchscreen drivers are correctly installed on the connected computer.
  • Test the touchscreen functionality in a different software or application to rule out software issues.
21. Physical Damage:
  • Inspect the Display/Monitor for visible physical damage such as cracks, dents, or broken components.
  • If there is any damage, contact the manufacturer or authorized service provider for repair options.
22. Overheating or Thermal Issues:
  • Ensure that the Display/Monitor’s ventilation is not obstructed, and the cooling system (if applicable) is functioning properly.
  • Display/Monitor the operating temperature of the environment and make sure it falls within the Display/Monitor’s specified operating range.
23. Interference or EMI/RFI Issues:
  • Check for nearby sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI) and relocate the Display/Monitor if necessary.
  • Use shielded cables and connectors to reduce susceptibility to interference.
24. Calibration Problems (for touchscreen Display/Monitors):
  • Recalibrate the touchscreen using the manufacturer’s calibration software.
  • Verify that there are no physical obstructions or damage to the touchscreen surface.
25. Software and Driver Issues:
  • Ensure that the Display/Monitor’s drivers are up to date by checking the manufacturer’s website.
  • Reinstall or update graphics card drivers on the connected computer if necessary.
26. Consult the User Manual and Manufacturer's Support:
  • Review the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps and recommendations provided by the manufacturer.
  • Contact our support team for assistance with complex issues or if the Display/Monitor is under warranty.
