Getting Started and Care
Your Argonaut R515/R515-HT monitor has been engineered for trouble-free use in the marine
environment. Please retain this reference guide for relevant installation, wiring, care information, and
operation adjustment (Button Controls).
Surface Mounting
The R515/R515-HT monitor has been designed for an easy, secure and sealed installation. For surface
mount installations, please note the following steps:
1) Locate a suitable installation mounting surface. The surface should be flat and allow at least
enough room for the outside bezel face to fit (14.45” x 11.70” W x H). Note that the thickness of
the display is 1.35” so make sure there is enough clearance to mount in your desired
location. Make sure there is sufficient clearance behind the surface for cabling passage (.75”
minimum recommended). Rear surface space should also allow clearance to install mounting
screws from the rear; however, the display can be installed without using mounting screws, if
necessary.
2) Once mounting location is identified, carefully align the mounting template to the surface in the
exact location desired and secure lightly with tape. Mark the centers of the 4 top centered VESA
pattern mount holes. Mark the connector clamp bracket outline and outside edge of the
template. Once all holes are marked, surface may be drilled and cut accordingly.
3) Monitor can now be seated against the surface. In some installations, a bead of marine caulking
may be desired to help prevent any water intrusion to the mounting surface openings or the
unsealed cable clamp (R515 model).. This bead of caulking/adhesive can be placed upon the outer
edge of the back cover and may also be sufficient to secure the monitor in place without screwing
into the enclosure from behind the surface. Take care not to allow sealant to penetrate the gap
between the front bezel and rear cover as this may prevent opening the monitor if service is ever
needed. Another approach is to lay down a thin layer of weather stripping flush to the monitor
edge. This strip can be sealed at the edges with caulking. In general, after positioning/sealing is
complete, screw monitor down to surface (Note: screw type is M5 stainless steel machine
thread). Different length screws may be required depending on bulkhead thickness. In all
installations, where water contact can occur with the display, caulking sealant should be placed
around the screw and connector clamp bracket openings. Once secured to the surface, take care
not to over tighten mounting screws.
Optional Flush Mount Kit
Flush mount kit includes machined aluminum mount plate, poron shock pad, oversize polycarbonate face
plate, stainless fasteners and mounting template. Please refer to the detailed instructions provided with kit
and it is recommended to utilize a professional installer.

Optional RAM Mount Kit
The RAM mount kit includes surface base, swivel arm and monitor mounting base plate. Secure square
monitor mounting base plate to adapter plate using four stainless steel M5x12 pan head screws, flat and
lock washers provided (Note: RAM logo should be oriented upside down).. Tighten securely but do not
over tighten. Attach circular RAM base to mounting location. Secure monitor with swivel arm to surface.
NOTE: DO NOT EXPOSE REAR CABLE CLAMP TO WATER WITH R515 MODEL. IF REAR OF
MONITOR COULD GET WET, THE R515-HT WITH SEALED CABLE CLAMP SHOULD BE USED.
Quick-start Instructions
1.) The Power cable should be connected as described on page 3.
2.) Connect the signal input cables to signal output devices (for example PC, camera, black box, etc.).
3.) Press the power (Button 7, Page 4) to turn on the monitor. The Power indicator will light up.
4.) Monitor Press input signal source hotkey (Button 5, Page 4) to display desired input signal.

Wiring
NOTE: THE POSITIVE WIRE IS RED AND THE NEGATIVE WIRE IS BLACK.
The standard input cables include VGA, DVI, RCA/S-Video, and DC Power cable. All cables exit the rear
of the monitor through a waterproof cable clamp. Note that the input cable ends are not waterproof and
should be placed or installed in a dry, protected area. DO NOT PULL CABLES TIGHT TO
PREVENT EXCESS STRAIN AND POSSIBLE BREAK IN CABLE CLAMP SEAL. Contact your
Argonaut Dealer if additional cable lengths are required in excess of standard provided.
Power
The R515/R515-HT monitor is designed for 12 Volt power input through an Argonaut supplied power
regulator. The correct regulator should be specified at time of ordering for connection to either a 12 volt or
24 volt system. The regulators accept a range of voltage (either 9 to 18V or 19 to 32V) and provide a steady
12 volts to the monitor. NOTE: ANY DIRECT CONNECTION OF THE MONITOR TO 12 OR 24
VOLT POWER WITHOUT FIRST RUNNING THROUGH THE ARGONAUT SUPPLIED
REGULATOR COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE MONITOR AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY. DO NOT CONNECT THE REGULATOR TO VOLTAGE EXCEEDING THE
SPECIFIED RANGE AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE REGULATOR. DO NOT CONNECT THE
MONITOR DIRECTLY TO A/C POWER (110-220V) POWER AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
DISPLAY AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO AVOID IMPROPER
CROSSING WIRES (POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE) AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DISPLAY
ELECTRONICS.
Care & Precautions
Care: The LCD has a special coating to prevent reflection. Clean with soft clean cloth dampened with fresh
water to remove residue. Follow up with alcohol and lens cleaning wipes if desired. If water has collected
in screen bezel, wipe dry before covering/storing. NOTE: DO NOT ALLOW SALT WATER
DEPOSITS TO REMAIN ON GLASS SURFACE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS (REMOVE SALT
DEPOSITS WITH FRESH WATER). LONG TERM SALT DEPOSITS MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE SCREEN SURFACE. We recommend our optional custom fit
canvas cover to protect the display for extended periods in direct sunlight. Additional Precautions:
Do not operate in temperature extremes (below 32°F (0° C) or above 104 °F (40° C)). Do not put
pressure or contact directly on screen surface. Do not connect directly to power source without using
the regulator supplied. Do not reverse power wires. Do not expose to submersion or high pressure
water. Do not pull or strain cabling as this can break the cable clamp seal.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXPOSE THE BACK SIDE CABLING FOR R515 TO DIRECT WATER
CONTACT AS THE CABLES ARE NOT SEALED WATERPROOF. THE R515-HT MODEL
DOES HAVE SEALED WATERPROOF CABLES.
