STEP 1: Installation Prerequisites
Prior to touch panel installation, identify a proper installation surface in
accordance with local laws and building codes. Ensure that your category cable
(networking cable) has access to the location.
STEP 2: Install the Mounting Plate
If installing on wall, mark your surface using the included installation template
for the four (4) VESA holes and one (1) desired cable pass-thru location. Drill
holes as required and screw the mounting bracket onto the surface, using
appropriate hardware for the surface (ie. drywall, concrete, brick, etc.).
If installing on glass or other smooth surface using the adhesive pad, first apply
the adhesive pad to the mounting bracket, only exposing one side of the pad.
Then adhere the mounting bracket to the surface with the set screw hole facing
UP and the two tabs on the BOTTOM. Make sure it is a secure fit, but do not
apply too much pressure as glass may break.
STEP 3: Route Category Cable
Remove the touch panel’s lower rear cover by removing two (2) screws and then
sliding the cover off. Press the rectangular holes to push the cover away from
you.
FIG. 3Lower Cover Holes
Plug in the networking cable and route it out one (1) of the three (3) available
openings in the lower cover: left, right, or bottom. Once fully seated, reattach
the lower rear cover.
