CONFIGURATION: Configuring a Monitor
After any cold start, the display will default to color video. For a
monochrome display, access the video option by executing the following
menu sequence starting from the MAIN menu:
MONITOR SETUP
SERVICE MODE
Password

HARDWARE TEST
REMOTE VIDEO
Select MONOCHROME for a monochrome display.
CAUTION
When Solar 8000 processing unit or SolarView remote
display controller is cold started, the video selection
defaults to color. Red and blue hues will not be
distinguishable on a monochrome display. Reselect
monochrome in the SERVICE MODE menu.
In most cases the brightness will require no additional configuration
because the default video amplitude level is STANDARD (0.7 volts) for
the Solar 8000/View display and set in the factory for the Solar 7000
display.
If the connected display requires more than 0.7 volts amplitude, the
processing unit will need to be programmed. Refer to the owner's manual
of the display connected to the Solar 8000 processing unit or SolarView
remote display controller for the signal amplitude specification.
The video amplitude adjustment will also affect the contrast and
brightness of the display. First, adjust the contrast and brightness to
medium range according to the owner's manual supplied with the
display. Next, adjust the video amplitude as described below.
Adjust the video amplitude if the brightness of the screen appears dull or
requires more than standard 0.7 volts. Access the REMOTE VIDEO
AMPLITUDE option by executing the following menu sequence starting
from the MAIN menu:
MONITOR SETUP
SERVICE MODE
Password
Enter day and month from monitor screen with leading zeros.
