Summary
The Proxicam LCD Monitor (SKU: PXLCD) is a ruggedised 7-inch Human Machine Interface (HMI) that provides operators with a full-colour live view of up to four connected AI cameras. It delivers immediate visual and audible notifications during pedestrian proximity events to maintain site safety and situational awareness. Encased in a die-cast aluminium body with an IP66 waterproof rating, the display ensures continuous and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
1. How do I unlock the monitor to access system settings?
To prevent unauthorised tampering, the PXLCD is secured with a password. Press and hold the Menu/Lock button on the front bezel for 5 seconds to enable the on-screen keyboard. Enter the 8-character alpha-numeric password, which is printed on a sticker that is attached to the face of the LCD panel. The sticker MUST be removed before deployment.
2. What should I do if the screen remains completely blank during operation?
Verify if the monitor has been configured to Stand-By Mode. In this mode, the display remains blank to reduce operator distraction and will only activate during a pedestrian detection event or when a reverse gear external trigger activates the screen. Also, ensure the power supply is stable between 10V-32V DC.
3. Can the PXLCD monitor issue multi-staged escalating alarms?
Yes. When the Proxicam AI Camera is configured with layered detection zones (Green, Yellow, Red), the PXLCD monitor will automatically increase the frequency of the audible alert as a pedestrian moves closer to the machine and breaches higher-priority zones.
4. How many cameras can be viewed simultaneously on the PXLCD?
The monitor supports dynamic display layout options including single, split, triple, and quad views, allowing the operator to monitor up to four Proxicam AI cameras at once.
5. Will the monitor glare blind operators during night shifts?
No. The PXLCD features ambient light sensing capabilities and automatic screen dimming. Ensure Auto Dimming is toggled to YES in the setup menu so the display can automatically adjust its brightness in low-light conditions.
6. The rear camera view does not automatically display when the machine reverses. How do I fix this? Ensure the Reverse Trigger Input (AUX wire) on the harness is properly connected to a positive 12V/24V reverse signal from the machine. Next, verify in the Triggers menu on the monitor that the Rear Display priority is correctly assigned.
7. Is the PXLCD monitor protected against dust and water?
Yes. The monitor is enclosed in a robust die-cast aluminium body and achieves an IP66 rating, providing complete protection against high-pressure water and dust ingress in harsh environments.
