Welcome CARROLL TOUCH
iv Modular Flat Panel Mounting and Environments Guide
Audience
This guide is intended for analysts who need to determine how to use
and/or adapt an infrared scanning touch system to the needs of their
particular application.
Organization
Chapter 1, “Introduction,” contains a brief technological overview of
the ways in which scanning infrared touch systems function. The
chapter goes on to list environmental factors affecting touch, such as
temperature, ambient light, chemicals, particulate contaminants,
moisture, shock and vibration.
Chapter 2, “Flat Panel Mounting Techniques,” illustrates four separate
mounting schemes, each of which is designed to increase the
functionality of the touch system in reaction to a different environment.
The mounting methods include simple, typical NEMA/4,
anti-shock/vibration, and industrial/medical.
Chapter3, “Bezel/Filter Assembly,” shows themodular flat panel bezel
and filter and its standard manufacturing material, along with its
chemical properties.
Chapter 4, “Sealing and Coating,” discusses the concept of sealing,
along with an explanation of how to seal the modular flat panel touch
system. The concept of coating and reasons for it are explained, along
with Carroll Touch conformal coating.
The Glossary defines terms that are unique or whose usage is unique to
touch.
