Basic Assembly Instructions Basic Assembly Instructions Read the section about touchmonitor safety in Appendix D before installing your touchmonitor. Also read the section about designing your kiosk cabinet found in Appendix B. Your touchmonitor is designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. It automatically senses and adjusts for the supply voltage.
Chapter 2 : Installation Connecting the Cables OSD Video (15-pin) USB AC Power Serial (RS-232) Your touchmonitor comes with two touchscreen connector cables: Serial (RS-232) cable and USB cable (For Windows 98 computers only.) 1. Before connecting the cables to your touchmonitor and PC, be sure that the computer and the touchmonitor are turned off. 2. Connect the ferrite end of the video cable to the video connector on your PC. Connect the other end of the video cable to the touchmonitor.
Basic Assembly Instructions ❑ If your PC is running Windows 98 you can connect the USB cable to the USB port. The touchscreen cable connectors should fit snugly into the connectors on your touchmonitor and PC. 5. Power on your PC. After a brief pause the picture should appear. Unless you disconnect the power cord from the monitor or from the wall, your touchmonitor will always remain in power-on mode. 6.

Touchmonitor Controls and Adjustments Chapter 3 Operation Touchmonitor Controls and Adjustments By design your LCD touchmonitor should not require any adjustments. The factory settings will give you optimum video results with most standard PC video display adapters. However, after connecting your touchmonitor, should you notice picture instability, jitter, and/or a lack of good contrast, follow the directions in this chapter to optimize the settings.
Chapter 3 : Operation On-Screen Menus: Quick Glance Main Menu Image Position Basic Adjustment System Image Position Auto-Adjust Basic Adjustments Horizontal Position Horizontal Size Vertical Position Expand/Center Brightness Contrast Color Balance Phase Default Settings Language System OSD Position OSD Turn Off Time Auto-Adjust Elo LCD Touchmonitor User Guide - 16 Auto-Adjust

Care and Handling of Your Touchmonitor Care and Handling of Your Touchmonitor The following tips will help you keep your LCD touchmonitor functioning at the optimal level: Protect your touchmonitor from extremely low or high temperatures (see Appendix E, Technical Specifications). Keep your touchmonitor dry. Do not wash it with a wet cloth or pour fluid into it. Check your touchmonitor for condensation. If condensation develops, do not power your touchmonitor on until the condensation evaporates.
Chapter 3 : Operation Cleaning Your LCD Touchmonitor Prevent damage to your touchmonitor (and PC) by powering off the computer system and disconnecting the touchmonitor from the AC outlet before you clean it. After you finish cleaning, make sure the touchmonitor is completely dry before you reconnect the cables and power it on. Do not apply liquid or aerosol spray cleaners directly on the screen or cabinet.
Appendix A Troubleshooting Problem: Suggestion: No picture Your touchmonitor may not be getting power. Make certain that your powerstrip is plugged into the wall socket and that the PC and touchmonitor are plugged in and powered on. Test power supply by trying different cables, a different wall outlet or plug another appliance into the outlet. Make certain the video cable is properly connected and that it is not damaged. Check for bent pins on the cable connectors.

Touchscreens Appendix B Touch Technology Touchscreens Typically, people communicate with computers using a mouse, a keyboard or a combination of the two. Users who are not keyboard literate or mouse savvy can become frustrated with how long human-to-computer interactions take. Computer literacy is learned. This is complicated by the fact that using a keyboard or a mouse is neither intuitive nor natural for most people.
Appendix B : Touch Technology response to soft stylus stimulation (finger, gloved hand, pencil eraser) that is also sensitive to pressure. For example, a customer in a department store could scroll through a product catalog by increasing or decreasing pressure on an icon. IntelliTouch’s pressure sensitivity increases the intuitive nature of a user/touchscreen interaction by allowing for increased selectivity.
Kiosk Touchmonitors Kiosk Touchmonitors Kiosks are all around us—whether we notice them or not. The stand in the middle of a hotel lobby offering up piles of brochures is a kiosk. The booth in the airport where you buy your pre-flight gum is a kiosk. A kiosk is a small pavilion with one or more open sides. Kiosks function as newsstands, coffee stands and point-of-information booths—and they are everywhere. Adding a touchmonitor to a kiosk brings a new dimension of functionality to it.
Appendix B : Touch Technology Cabinet Design Give some thought as to where you place the touchmonitor. The user should be able to easily reach the screen, so do not place the touchmonitor either too high or too low in the cabinet. ❑ Your touchmonitor and PC need to remain dry. If your kiosk must be located outdoors build a cabinet that protects your touchmonitor and PC from the weather (see Appendix E for touchmonitor environmental specifications).
Appendix C Native Resolution The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is designed to perform best. For Elo LCD monitors, the native resolution is 1024 x 768 for the XGA-15 inch size and 800 x 600 for the SVGA-12.1 inch size. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it. Input Video 12.
Appendix C : Native Resolution As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one to one correspondence of mapping of input video pixels to LCD pixels.
Appendix D Touchmonitor Safety This manual contains information that is important for the proper setup and maintenance of your touchmonitor. Before setting up and powering on your new touchmonitor, read through this manual, especially Chapter 2 (Installation), and Chapter 3 (Operation). 1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, follow all safety notices and never open the touchmonitor case. 2. Your new touchmonitor is equipped with a 3-wire, grounding power cord.
