The Mounting Plate System:
Your Touchscreen is supplied with a mounting plate. The 2 arms are already attached to
the Touchscreen & the plate is wrapped & packed in with the Touchscreen.
YourTouchscreenis supplied withmountingbracket,and a fullrangeof accessories is
includedwiththeTouchscreen andaredetailedintheQuickStartGuide.Installationisa
relativelysimpleprocess but a qualifiedInstallerisrecommended to ensure themounting
bracketisproperly attached tothewall.
The Touchscreen is quite heavy so it is recommended that the Touchscreen only be
attached to a masonary wall using the bolts provided in the Touchscreen accessory box. If
attaching to a plasterboard or timber wall, the wall mounting plate should be attached
directly to wall framing studs. If this is not possible, adequate horizontal timber beams
should be attached to the studs & the mounting plate attached to the timber beams. Your
installer will be able to determine the appropriate size of timber beam based on the size/
weight of your Touchscreen, and span between supporting studs.
TheTouchscreenis normally installed sothatthebottomedgeof theTouchscreenis
approximately 80cm from the floor. This can be varied to suit your needs, particularly if
you have young or disabled users. The mount plate should be positioned in the centre of
the Touchscreen; it is recommended you use removeable tape to mark out the position of
the Touchscreen on your wall so your can accurately locate the mounting plate, ensuring
it is level, & mark the wall for the bolt locations.
Ensurethatyou have consideredthepositionof cabling &powerforuse with theTouchscreen
before you drill the wall to mount the plate. Remember that a few cms of space are
required above the plate to enable the lifting and positioning of the Touchscreen.
Oncethemountplate is installed,theTouchscreenissimply liftedontothe bracket. Ensure
youhavean extra person tocheckthatthe arms are properlyengagedonthe mount plate
while it is being lifted into position.

# Power Cable (supplied)
#USB from Touchscreento PCfortouch data (supplied)
#HDMI for videoor data(supplied)
#VGA + 3.5mmfor data/audio (supplied)
#Coax TV aerialcable (for TVchannels)
Connectorsfor other cableinputtypes (Componentvideo,Composite video,Audio)are
avaible.Thereis also a3.5mmAudio (Line Out)OutConnector thatcanbe used for
supplementarySoundbar or otherSpeakerconnection.There is alsoaUSB input socketfor
slideshowimages.
NOTE:Any USBcableshouldonly be runamaximum distanceof5m unless anamplifieris
used.Thereis almost 2mof USBcabling inside theTouchscreen, so the3m USB cablewe
supplyisthe maximum recommendedunlessyou use an amplifier.Asimple “Active USB
Extender”,available from ComputerAccessory suppliers suchasJaycar, DickSmith,etc
shouldbe used isanexternal USB lengthofmore than 3misrequired.
Similarly,we only recommendamaximumlength of 10mforHDMI and VGAcables(VGAcan
berunlongerunder good conditions).Anamplified HDMI or VGAextendersystem, usually
usingCat5/6 cabling, isrecommendedfor lengths greaterthan10m for optimumresults.
HDMIwillgivea better image qualitythanVGA,hencewhy multiple HDMI inputsare included
onthe inputboard. HDMIcan beused for either data (PC) or Video(DVD, etc)inputs, and
carries both the image & audio signals.
