Elo purchases and resells a variety of monitors, called touchmonitors, with
touchscreens and all related components fully installed. If you already have a
touchmonitor, follow the installation instructions in Chapter 3.
If you do not have a touchmonitor, read this chapter for details on installing
touchscreen components that will convert your monitor into a touchmonitor.
Details are given on mounting the touchscreen, controller, and connecting
cables. While this chapter refers primarily to CRT-based monitor technologies,
much of this information can be applied to other monitor technologies. See “Flat
Panel Display Integration” on page 4-59.
These instructions assume you have purchased an Elo touchscreen installation
kit (P/N 458095-000), and a transient protection cable (PN 899389-000). Only a
minimum of equipment and materials is required beyond what is provided in the
kits.
In brief, adhesive materials are used to fasten the touchscreen to the CRT and
then the assembly is reinstalled in the original enclosure with minor
modifications. If this procedure is not suitable for mechanical, electrical, or
optical reasons, there are other techniques for touchscreen installation that may
achieve the desired results. These techniques often require specialized
equipment or materials, and a complete discussion is beyond the scope of this
manual. See “Installing the Touchscreen” on page 4-40.
