C H A P T E R INTRODUCTION CHAPTER1 Congratulations on your purchase of an Elo TouchSystems Entuitive touchmonitor. Your new high-resolution touchmonitor combines the reliable performance of Elo’s touch technology with the latest advances in CRT display design. This combination of features creates a natural flow of information between a user and the touchmonitor. Precautions WARNING This monitor is not intended for use as a stand-alone monitor.
About the Product Your CRT touchmonitor is a color display with the following features: • 13.8-inch viewable image 0.28mm dot pitch CDT for 15". • 15.7-inch viewable image 0.27mm dot pitch CDT for 17". • 18-inch viewable image 0.25mm dot pitch CDT for 19". • 20-inch viewable image 0.25mm dot pitch CDT for 21". • Supports a wide range of screen refresh rates with flicker-free picture quality. • Plug and Play functionality automatically adjusts the monitor to its optimum performance.
C H A P T E R INSTALLATION AND SETUP CHAPTER2 This chapter discusses how to install your CRT touchmonitor and how to install Elo TouchSystems driver software. Unpacking Your Touchmonitor Check that the following 5 items are present and in good condition: NOTE: Power cord is not included.
Connecting Your Touchmonitor IMPORTANT: Before connecting the cables to your touchmonitor and PC, be sure that the computer and touchmonitor are turned off.
Connect the Touchscreen Communication Cable Connections on underside Female 9-pin serial or USB type touchscreen connector Serial or USB port Serial or USB cable • Connect the touchscreen cable. Connect one end to the appropriate port on the back of your computer. Connect the other end of the cable to the touchscreen connector on your touchmonitor. The touchscreen cable connectors should fit snugly into the connectors on your touchmonitor and computer.
Connect the Power Cable Connections on underside Power cable Power cable • Your monitor does not include a power cable. You may either purchase a country specific power cable from Elo (www.elogaming.com), or construct your own custom power cable (see Appendix B for details). Connect the power cable to the AC connector on your touchmonitor.
Installing the Driver Software Elo TouchSystems provides driver software that allows your touchmonitor to work with your computer. Drivers are located on the enclosed CD-ROM for the following operating systems: • Windows XP • Windows 2000 • Windows Me • Windows 98 • Windows 95 • Windows NT 4.0 Additional drivers and driver information for other operating systems are available on the Elo TouchSystems web site at www.elogaming.com. Your Elo touchmonitor is plug-and-play compliant.
Installing the Touch Driver for Windows XP, Windows 20001, Me, 95/98 and NT 4.0 NOTE: For Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 you must have administrator access rights to install the driver. 1 Insert the Elo CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the AutoStart feature for your CD-ROM drive is active, the system automatically detects the CD and starts the setup program. 2 Follow the directions on the screen to complete the driver setup for your version of Windows.
You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Elo DOS and Windows Driver Guide as necessary for additional installation information. To run the INSTALL program: 1 Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver install files. 2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list. 3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may use its defaults.

C H A P T E R OPERATION CHAPTER3 About Touchmonitor Adjustments By design, your Elo Entuitive 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 you can further optimize the settings to meet your requirements by following the directions in this chapter.
Touchmonitor Controls You can adjust the screen display by using the plastic knob labeled OSD located on the right-hand side of the touch controller bracket. Using the On Screen Display (OSD) 1 Push the OSD knob to access the OSD. 2 Turn the OSD knob to choose the item you want to adjust. The selected item is highlighted. See figure 3.1 for OSD menu options. 3 Push the OSD knob to adjust the highlighted item.
OSD Adjustments Symbol Function Process Adjusts the horizontal size of the entire screen image. H. Size Adjusts the horizontal position of the entire screen image. H. Position Adjusts the vertical size of the entire screen image. V. Size Adjusts the vertical position of the entire screen image. V. Position Simultaneously changes vertical and horizontal image size. Zoom See Figure 3.3, page 3-16.
Corrects vertical top and bottom linearity. C. Correct V. Moire Clears vertical moire if a series of concentric circles or arcs appear on your screen. Note: Moire is an interface pattern that makes the screen seem to have faint lines. A picture that is rastered or consists of small repeating figures is sensitive to moire interference. Strong colors are also liable to intensify moire. The moire pattern on the screen does not affect the printout of the image.
Degauss If you have moved the display unit, you should perform demagnetization. Demagnetizing takes place automatically when the display unit is switched on, and the unit normally maintains faultless color purity during operation. If you have tilted, swiveled or moved the display unit, you can perform demagnetization. During the process the picture is distorted for a few seconds. After demagnetization, the color impurities have disappeared if caused by stray magnetic fields.

C H A P T E R TROUBLESHOOTING CHAPTER4 Problem Suggestion (s) No picture. Your touchmonitor may not be getting power. Make certain that your power strip is plugged into the wall socket and that the PC and touchmonitor are plugged in and powered on. Test the power supply by trying different cables or a different wall outlet, or by plugging another appliance into the outlet. If the monitor's LED is slowly flashing, the monitor is in standby mode.Push one of the keyboard keys.
Problem Suggestion (s) Picture is not centered. Read about adjusting your touchmonitor picture and make the appropriate adjustments. Readjust your brightness and contrast settings. Verify that your video display adapter settings are formatted for the correct resolution and vertical refresh rates. A problem with your graphics adapter or touchmonitor. Contact your service representative. The monitor is receiving no video signal from the PC.
A P P E N D I X TOUCH TECHNOLOGY CHAPTER4 Touchscreens: An Overview Typically, users communicate with computers by 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.
iTouch Touchscreens Elo built on its IntelliTouch surface wave technology to create its iTouch "touch-on-tube" solution. Elo eliminated the clear glass layer between the viewer and the display. iTouch touchmonitors have been adopted by some of the largest manufacturers in the world in their next generation games. Elo CRT gaming monitors offer consistent features across all sizes: • Touch directly on tube—no touchscreen overlay and no parallax.
A P P E N D I X TOUCHMONITOR SAFETY CHAPTER4 DANGER As this equipment is received it presents an electrical shock hazard that could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified persons should work around this equipment when it is energized. This equipment is intended to be used by a manufacturer only for building-in to other equipment which will provide a proper electrical and fire safety enclosure.
Should you wish to construct your own custom power cable, Elo highly recommends using AMP "Mate-N-Lock" part number 350766-1 and male type contacts, AMP part number 350547-1. After connecting the power cable to the monitor, but before applying power, ensure that the power cable’s black or brown wire connects to the monitor’s brown wire; the power cable’s green wire connects to the monitor’s green wire; and the power cable’s white or blue wire connects to the monitor’s blue wire.
