Installing the LX1200TR monitor consists of three steps: 

1.  Mounting the monitor using the mounting interface built into the monitor’s back cover — 

see below. 

2.  Connecting the monitor to the computer and power source — see page 8. 

3.  Installing the touch screen driver software — see page 11. 

Before Installing 

Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor. 

•  The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation, system control, or 

vehicle information. If the monitor will be used for other purposes, it should be installed in such 
a way that it will only operate while the vehicle is not moving (such as when the parking brake is 
in use). Review all applicable state and local laws and regulations to make sure the monitor is 
used properly and safely. 

•  The installed monitor must not interfere with the driver’s vision. 

Step 1 — Mounting the Monitor 

The back of the LX1200TR includes a mounting interface that you can use to mount the monitor on 
a swing arm or other LCD monitor fixture, as follows.

Notes: 

Use only a Planar-approved mounting bracket for in-vehicle use. 
 
Mounting bracket and hardware are not included with the monitor, and must be 
obtained separately. 
 
Use the proper M4 x 0.7 screws for attaching the monitor to the mounting fixture. 
 
For low-vibration environments, the back of the monitor includes a VESA Standard 
100mm mounting pattern.
