ASSEMBLY NOTES
This controller is designed for monitors and custom display projects using 1280x768 or 1600x1200,
resolution TFT LCD panels with a VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, WSXGA and UXGA signal
input. The following provides some guidelines for installation and preparation of a finished display
solution.
Preparation: Before proceeding it is important to familiarize yourself with the parts making up the
system and the various connectors, mounting holes and general layout of the controller. As much
as possible connectors have been labeled. Guides to connectors and mounting holes are shown in
the following relevant sections.
1. LCD Panel: This controller has TTL and LVDS interface logic on the Board for different kind of
TFT LCD panel. For the other type of LCD interface like Panel Link interface and etc, this board
can accommodate a daughter board instead of on-board LCD interface. Due to the different signal
timing and electrical characteristics from each LCD panel manufacturer, for selecting LCD
interface type and resolution, put jumper marked J5 on the right position following LCD panel
specification. For selecting DC power level, put jumper marked J19 on the right position. Supplied
power level depends on LCD panel specification.
2. Controller: Handle the controller with care as static charge may damage electronic components,
Make sure correct jumper and switches settings to match the target LCD panel
3. LCD connector board: Different makers and models of LCD panel require different panel signal
connectors and different pin assignments.
4. LCD signal cables: In order provide a clean signal it is recommended that LCD signal cables
should not longer than 30cm. If loose wire cabling is utilized these can be a made into a harness
with cable ties. Care should be taken when you place the cables to avoid signal interface.
Additionally it may necessary in some systems to add ferrite cores to the cables to minimize
signal noise.
5. Inverter: This will be required for the backlight of an LCD, some LCD panel have an inverter
built in. As LCD panels may have 1 or more backlight tubes and the power requirements for
different panel backlights may vary it is important to match the inverter in order to obtain
optimum performance. See application notes for more information on connection.
6. Inverter cable: Different inverter models require different cables and different pin assignment.
Make sure the correct cable pin out to match the inverter. Unsuitable cable pins out may
damage the inverter.
7. AV cable: Standard composite or S-video cables can be used. Reasonable quality cables
should be used to avoid image quality degradation.
8. OSD Button: See Operational Function section.

9. 3 Color LED: This LED shows the state of controller.
Green – Normal state
Off – Off mode (Can’t find video signals)
Amber – DPMS mode
10. Power switch: This switch is located on OSD button board.
11. Power input: Proper power is required to supply power for the controller, the Inverter and the
LCD panel
12. VGA Input Cable: As this may affect regulatory emission test result, a suitably shielded cable
should be utilized.
EMI: Shielding will be required for passing certain regulatory emissions tests. Also the choice of
video board and power supply can affect the test result.
Consideration should be given to:
Electrical insulation.
Grounding.
EMI shielding.
Heat & ventilation
Caution: Ensure that the adequate insulation is provided for all areas of the PCB with special
attention to high voltage parts such as the inverter.

up as this may cause serious damage.
CONNECTION
1. LCD panel & Inverter: Connect the inverter (if it is not built- in the panel) to the CCFT lead
connector of the LCD panel.
2. LVDS type panels: Plug the signal cables direct to J100 of the controller board for 1
channel interface panel or J11 for 2 channel interface panel. Plug the other end of cables to
the LCD connector board
3. Inverter & Controller: Plug the inverter cable to J10, 16 of the controller board and another
end to the connector on the inverter.
4. Function switch & Controller: Plug the OSD switch mount cable to J2 of the controller
board and another end to the OSD board.
5. Jumpers: Check all jumpers J12 (External power Setting), J11 (Input power Setting) and
J19(Target Panel Power setting) are set correctly. Details referring the jumpers setting table
(in the following section)
6. VGA cable & Controller: Plug the VGA cable to the connector J6 of the controller board.
7. DIV-D Cable & Controller: Plug the DVI-D Cable to the connector J3 of the controller board.
8. S/C Video Cable & Controller: Plug S-Video Cable to the connector J1, C-Video Cable to
the J8
9. Power supply to Controller: Plug the DC 12V/18V power in to the connector J2 or DC 24V
power in to the connector J22 of controller board.
10. Power on: Switch on the controller board and panel by using the OSD switch mount.
General:
If you use supplied cables & accessories, ensure that they are correct for the model of the
panel and the controller.
If you make your own cables & connectors, refer carefully to both the panel & inverter
specifications and the section in this manual, “Connectors, Pin outs & Jumpers” to ensure
the correct pin to pin wiring.
PC Setting:
The controller has been designed to take a very wide range of input signals however to
optimize the PC’s graphic performance we recommend choosing 60Hz vertical refresh rate –
this will not cause screen flicker.

APPLICATION NOTES
USING THE CONTROLLER WITHOUT BOTTONS ATTACHED
This is very straightforward:
Firstly setup the controller/display system with the buttons. With the attached controllers
and display system active make any settings for color, contrast and image position as
required then switch everything off.
Remove the control switches, the 7-way cable.
Refer to inverter specifications for details as to fixing brightness to a desired level, this may
require a resistor, an open circuit or closed circuit depending on inverter
INVERTER CONNECTION
There are 3 potential issues to consider with inverter connection:
Power
ON/OFF
Brightness (DIM-ADJ)
Inverter power: This should be matched with the inverter specification.
Inverter ON/OFF: This is a pin provided on some inverter for ON/OFF function and is used by this
panel controller for VESA DPMS compliance. If the inverter does not have on/off pin or the on/off
pin is not used DPMS will not operate. Pin 5 should be matched to the inverter specification for the
ON/OFF pin.
Brightness Dimming control: NCB400 controller boards are analog dimming control method.
And it is important to consider the specifications for the inverter to be used.

TROUBLESHOOTING
General
A general guide to troubleshooting of a flat panel display system it worth considering the system as
separate elements, such as:
► Controller (jumpers, PC settings)
► Panel (controller, cabling, connection, panel, PC settings)
► Backlight (inverter, cabling, connection, panel, Pc settings)
► Cabling
► Computer system (display settings, operating system)
Through checking the system step by step cross with instruction manuals and a process of
elimination to isolate the problem it is usually possible to clearly identify the problem area.
No image:
► If the panel backlight is not working it may still be possible to see just some image.
► A lack of image is most likely to be caused by incorrect connection, lack of power, failure to
provide a signal or incorrect graphic card settings.
Image position:
If it is impossible to position the image correctly, the image adjustment controls will not move the
image far enough, then test using another graphics card. This situation can occur when a graphic
card is not close to standard timing or when something is in the graphics line that may affect the
signal such as a signal splitter (please note that normally a signal splitter will not have any adverse
effect).
Image appearance:
► A faulty panel can have blank lines, failed sections, flickering or flashing display.
► Incorrect graphic card refresh rate, resolution or interlaced mode will probably cause the image
to be the wrong size, to scroll to, flicker badly or possibly even no image.
► Incorrect jumper settings on the controller may cause everything from incorrect image viewing
to total failure.
CAUTION: Do not set the panel power input incorrectly.
► Sparkling on the display: faulty panel signal cable.
Backlight:
Items to check include: Power input, controls, inverter and Tubes generally in this order.
If half the screen is dimmer than the other half:
► Check cabling for the inverter.
Also:
► If system does not power down when there is a loss of signal.
