4. Communication Cable:
4. 通信线
You need to design the communication cable for your PIT touch monitor because for different application, the
connector and the length of the cable could be different. So it’s more convenient for the customer to design
their own cable based on the pin definition of the controller. The own-made cable should comply with the USB
electrical standards. You can find the pin definition of the controller on the controller drawing. The Controller
USB interface connector is a model 53261-0571(Molex) or Compatible. The mating housing part number is
51021-0500 or equivalent.When making the USB communication cable, please kindly make sure the cables of
D+ and D- are twisted. Shielding cable is preferred.
您需要为您的 PIT 触摸显示器设计通信线，因为对于不同的应用，线材的连接头和长度可能不一样。因此由客户
根据其具体应用并基于控制器针脚定义来设计通讯线会更加方便。自制的线材应该遵守 USB 电子标准。您可以
从控制器图纸找到控制器的针脚定义。控制器 USB 接口连接头是 Molex 53261-0571 或其他兼容型号。匹配的
连接头型号是 51021-0500 或其他兼容型号。当制作 USB 通信线时，请保证线材中 D+和D-是双绞线，并首选
加强屏蔽线。
5. EMC Solution:
5. EMC 方案
To make the PIT touch monitor reach a good EMC level, following suggestions are recommended:
1) The whole PCBAof the PIT touch screen is better to be shielded by the metal chassis;
2) EMI core is recommended. Recommended model name is FS 24.5x5x12-0.5-G. The EMI core should be
fixed nearby the controller connector. Please consider a good way to fix the EMI core on your chassis.
3) USB communication cable needs to comply with the USB standard, such as twin twisted cable, shielding
cable and so on.
为使 PIT 触摸显示器达到一个好的 EMC 等级，请参考下述建议：
1）PIT 触摸屏的整个 PCBA 最好被金属铁盘屏蔽；
2）推荐使用 EMI 磁环。推荐的型号名是 FS 24.5x5x12-0.5-G。磁环应该固定在控制器连接头附近，请考虑一
个好的办法将磁环固定在铁盘上。
3）USB 通信线需要符合 USB 标准，比如双绞线、加强屏蔽线等等。

Part Five: Maintenance
第五部分：维护
Touch Screen Care and Cleaning
触摸屏的维护和清洁
The touch screen requires very little maintenance. GeneralTouch recommends that you use a 50:50 isopropyl
alcohol and water solution to clean the touch screen surface periodically. You can also use straight isopropyl
alcohol or other neutral glass cleaner. If you use non-neutral cleaner, it may corrode the special surface
treatment layer of touch screen and then cause the special surface treatment layer loses function. If the
non-neutral glass cleaner enters into the inner structure of the PIT touch screen, the PCBA could be corroded
and finally affect the touch function.
触摸屏只需要较少的维护。吉锐推荐您定期定期使用 50：50 的酒精溶液清洁触摸屏表面。您也可以使用纯酒精
或其他的中性玻璃清洁剂。如果您使用非中性清洁剂，可能会腐蚀触摸屏的表面特殊处理层，导致特殊处理层功
能失效。如果非中性玻璃清洁剂进入 PIT 触摸屏的内部结构，PCBA 将被腐蚀，最终影响触摸功能。
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint cloth. Always dampen the cloth and then clean the screen. Be sure to
spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not the screen. This method is helpful to control the cleaner consumption.
If directly spraying the cleaner onto the touch screen, too much cleaner is likely to be sprayed, then the cleaner
mixed with dust and dirt will seep into the inner part of PIT touch screen, finally it will affect the touch function.
请将清洁剂喷在无结节的软布料上。始终先弄湿软布后再清洁屏体。一定要将清洁剂喷到软布上，而不是屏体。
这个方法可以帮助控制清洁剂的用量。如果直接将清洁剂喷到触摸屏上，可能喷洒了过多的清洁剂，这样混有灰
尘和脏污的清洁剂将进入 PIT 触摸屏的内部，最后影响到触摸功能。
