Basic Assembly Instructions
Read the section about touchmonitor safety in Appendix D before
installing your touchmonitor. Also read the section about designing your
kiosk cabinet found in Appendix B.
Your touchmonitor is designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to
60 Hz. It automatically senses and adjusts for the supply voltage.
Do not install your touchmonitor where it will be subject to direct sun-
light, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock, or near heat
sources such as radiators or air ducts.
Pre-install Steps
1. Set the touchmonitor into the kiosk cabinet before connecting
the cables and plugging your PC into the wall socket. See Chap-
ter 4 for information on making any necessary display adjust-
ments.
2. After you make your display adjustments, settle the touchmoni-
tor into the cabinet.

Chapter 2 : Installation
Elo LCD Touchmonitor User Guide - 12
Connecting the Cables
Your touchmonitor comes with two touchscreen connector cables:
Serial (RS-232) cable and USB cable (For Windows 98 computers
only.)
1. Before connecting the cables to your touchmonitor and PC, be
sure that the computer and the touchmonitor are turned off.
2. Connect the ferrite end of the video cable to the video connector
on your PC. Connect the other end of the video cable to the
touchmonitor. Secure the cable to your touchmonitor and PC by
turning the screws on the connector.
3. Connect the power cord to the AC connector on your touchmon-
itor. To protect your equipment against risk of damage from
electrical surges in the power line, plug the touchmonitor’s
power cord into a surge protector, and then connect the power
strip to a grounded (three-pronged) AC electrical outlet.
4. Connect either the Serial cable or the USB cable. Do not connect
both cables.
❑If you are using a serial connection, connect the female
end of the serial (RS-232) cable to the serial port on the
back of your PC. Connect the male end of the cable to the
touchscreen connector on your touchmonitor.

Elo LCD Touchmonitor User Guide - 13
❑If your PC is running Windows 98 you can connect the
USB cable to the USB port. The touchscreen cable con-
nectors should fit snugly into the connectors on your
touchmonitor and PC.
5. Power on your PC. After a brief pause the picture should appear.
Unless you disconnect the power cord from the monitor or from the
wall, your touchmonitor will always remain in power-on mode.
6. Install the driver software using the procedure described in the
documentation accompanying the driver disk.

Chapter 3
Operation
Touchmonitor Controls and
Adjustments
By design your LCD touchmonitor should not require any adjustments.
The factory settings will give you optimum video results with most stan-
dard PC video display adapters.
However, after connecting your touchmonitor, should you notice picture
instability, jitter, and/or a lack of good contrast, follow the directions in
this chapter to optimize the settings.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized.
This feature saves you from having to reset your choices every time you
unplug or power your touchmonitor off and on. If there is a power fail-
ure your touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifica-
tions.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the LCD touchmonitor cover as there
are high voltages and sharp metal edges inside the touchmonitor
cover. Removing the touchmonitor cover will void the warranty.

❑Auto-Adjust

Chapter 3 : Operation
Elo LCD Touchmonitor User Guide - 18
Auto-Adjust
Auto-Adjust automatically optimizes a number of video characteristics
such as, vertical, horizontal, size and positioning as well as, contrast and
phase settings. This is accomplished by analyzing the dynamic charac-
teristics of the video adapter board in the host PC. (This is not to be con-
fused with the factory reset option.)
To Auto-adjust the video screen:
1. Highlight the Auto-adjust menu option and press the SEL but-
ton. The screen will jitter momentarily as it adjusts.
2. To exit the menu, highlight the Exit menu option and press the
SEL button.
If needed use the “Phase”settings to optimize the video quality.
Brightness
The brightness adjustment will affect the “backlight”brightness setting.
Raising the brightness to maximum levels will degrade the life of the
backlight.
1. Highlight the Brightness menu option and press the SEL button.
A Brightness gauge will display. The gauge will indicate a
numeric value which will change as you increase or decrease the
brightness.
2. By using the UP and DN buttons, adjust the brightness.
3. When you have the brightness at the desired level press the SEL
button.
4. To exit the menu highlight the Exit menu option and press the
SEL button.
Contrast
The contrast function allows you to adjust the image crispness. Contrast
adjusts the difference between black and white shades.
