Mounting Your Touchmonitor
N OTE : You will need a 6mm allen socket and torque wrench (Hex) to attach the mounting
brackets.
Your panel mount touchmonitor comes with 6 mounting brackets (and 6
screws). You will need 6 brackets to mount your touchmonitor. Two brackets
attach to the top and bottom and one on each side.
To mount your touchmonitor to a panel, follow the steps below:
1Prepare the opening in the panel (307mm x 398.2mm/12.08" x 15.68"). See
page C-36. Mounting panel thickness must not exceed 13mm.
2Disassemble the 6 brackets and NEMA frame.
3Verify that your touchmonitor will clear the opening as you attempt to front
mount it. The opening will be covered by the bezel flanges.
4Mount the touchmonitor from the front side of the opening in the supporting
panel and temporarily secure it.
5From the back of the panel opening, slip the NEMA frame over the rear
cover. Attach the 6 brackets into the slots. Use 2 brackets on top and bottom
and 1 on each side.
6To secure the touchmonitor, turn the screws clockwise until a firm contact is
made with the NEMA frame. To assure a “flat” mount, screws should be
tightened “cris-cross” and not sequentially, i.e. tighten the upper left corner
screw first then the lower right screw. Torque screws to 35 in lbs. (4 Nm).

the touchmonitor. The touchmonitor can also be turned on and off by
plugging and unplugging the power cable.
Optimizing the LCD Display
To ensure the LCD display works well with your computer, configure the
display mode of your graphic card to output 1024 x 768 resolution, and make
sure the timing of the display mode is compatible with the LCD display. Refer
to Appendix A for more information about resolution. Compatible video modes
for your touchmonitor are listed in Appendix C. Refer to Chapter 3 for more
information on adjusting your touchmonitor’s video characteristics.
