Section 1: Introduction
Product Description
Your new Interactive Digital Signage (IDS) Display combines Elo Touch Solutions reliable performance with the
latest developments in touchscreen technology and display design. This combination of features creates a natural
flow of information between a user and the IDS Display.
This IDS Display incorporates 8-bit+FRC active matrix thin-film-transistor, and digital signage LCD panel to provide
superior display performance. Its output FHD resolution (1920 x1080) is suitable for displaying graphics and
images. Other features that enhance this LCD monitor’s performance are Plug & Play compatibility, built-in
speakers and headphone output capability, Touch On-Screen Display (OSD) controls, and a family of IDS
computer modules.
Elo Computer modules can be installed to the back of the IDS Display to convert it into an IDS All-in-One
touchcomputer.
Precautions
Follow all warnings, precautions and maintenance as recommended in this user manual to maximize the life of your
unit and prevent risks to user safety.
For your health and safety, it is strongly recommended that at least two people handle, lift, and/or move these IDS
Displays.
This manual contains information that is important for the proper setup and maintenance of the IDS monitor. Before
setting up and powering on your new IDS Display, read through this manual, especially the Installation, Mounting,
and Operation chapters.
CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used Batteries According to
the Instructions.

Section 4: Mounting Information
Note: It is strongly recommended that at least two people handle, lift, or move the IDS
Display.
Note: Do not leave the IDS Display facing down for long periods of time as this will cause
permanent damage to the LCD panel.
Mounting Orientations
The following mounting orientations are supported: landscape, portrait, tabletop and tilt.
Landscape Orientation
When mounting the IDS Display in landscape orientation, ensure that the ECM docking bay is on the right side when viewed from the front.

User Manual –IDS ET5503L
UM600482 Rev. B, page 11 of 37
Portrait Orientation
When rotating the IDS Display to portrait orientation, ensure that the ECM docking bay is on the bottom side when viewed from the front. The
IO ports will be located at the bottom.
Tabletop
When the IDS Display is used in tabletop application, support the IDS Display using the VESA mounting pattern on the rear to support the
weight of the IDS Display. Additional support around the edge may also be added if desired to maintain flatness of the touch screen.
Cooling methods must be put in place to ensure that the air temperature beneath the monitor does not exceed the operating specifications.
Refer to the Operating & Storage Conditions section for tabletop mode requirements.

Section 5: Operation
Power
To turn the IDS Display on or off, press the power button once. If a computer module is installed, then the computer module will also turn on with the monitor.
For proper shut down of the computer module, follow the computer modules operating systems normal power off procedure.
The system consumes low power when in SLEEP and OFF modes. For detailed power consumption specifications, refer to technical specifications available
on the Elo website www.elotouch.com.
Touching the screen will bring the system out of MONITOR SLEEP mode.
If long periods of disuse are planned, unplug the AC power cable to save power.
The maximum voltage, frequency and current for the IDS Display are provided in the power ratings table below:
Operating Voltage
Range
Operating Frequency
Range
100 - 240Vac
50/60 Hz
Usage Duty Cycle
In order to save energy and extend life of the display, Elo recommends shutting off the display when not in use. A number of tools, such as
Content Management System (CMS) player applications, Operating System settings and the Real Time Clock feature on the On-Screen
Display Menu (OSD) within the IDS display can be used for this task.
Elo also recommends turning off the display periodically for a period of time between 24 to 48 hours to avoid image retention.
Please refer to the information here.
Touch Technology
When connected to Windows 10 computer, the IDS Display will report the corresponding simultaneous touches:
TouchPro supports up to 40 touch
Infrared support up to 20 touch

Video Information
An LCD panels native resolution is its width and height measured in number of pixels.
In almost all cases, an image displayed on an LCD monitor will look best when your computers output resolution matches the LCD panels
native resolution. See the display specifications on the Elo website www.elotouch.com to find your IDS Displays native resolution. Operating in
other resolutions will degrade video performance and is not recommended.
For computer output resolutions at non-native resolutions, the monitor will scale the video to panel’s native resolution. For smaller input video
resolutions, this involves “stretching” the input image in the X- and Y-dimensions to fit the panel. For larger input video resolutions, this
involves “compressing” the input image in the X- and Y-dimensions to fit the panel. An unavoidable byproduct of the scaling algorithms is a
loss of fidelity when the computers output video image is scaled by the monitor to fit the display. This loss of fidelity is most apparent when
viewing feature-rich images at close distances (for example images containing small-font text).
Your IDS Display will likely not require any video adjustments.
Touch On-Screen Display (OSD)
This monitor uses an easy-to-navigate Touch OSD interface. Use the settings menu in the sidebar to adjust the IDS Display settings
Example of the Popup OSD Menu:
All IDS Display adjustments made through the OSD are automatically stored as soon as they are entered. This feature saves you from having
to reset your choices every time the IDS Display is unplugged or powered off and on or if there is a power failure.
