1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: DM-F Series
The DM-F series LCD monitor is the latest member of IEI’s line of sophisticated LCD
designs, and it has been improved to be RoHS compliant. It is designed to fit industrial
automation, or any other applications that require minimum installation space and flexible
configuration. The flat front panel provides IP 65 protection, which effectively wards off
dust and water. Flexible analog or digital interfaces are provided for ease of connection
with a management computer.
1.2 Features
The DM-F series have the following standard features:
Robust IP 65 aluminum front bezel
Aesthetic ultra-thin bezel for seamless panel mount installation
Wide range 9V~36V DC input
HDMI/Display Port/VGA flexible video input solution
Projected capacitive multi-touch/ resistive single touch options
