DISPLAY SETUP
SECTION 2
2.1 Inspection of your VT190 display
The VT190 is supplied with different accessories depending on the model configuration purchased.
Verify the VT190 and accessories are what were ordered. Contact your Vartech salesperson should
there be any discrepancies.
2.2 Unpacking and setting up your VT190 display
Your LCD monitor package will consist of the components listed below. Open shipping container and
place all the components on a flat clean surface.
2.3 What is included with your VT190 display
VT190 LCD Monitor.
VGA Video Cable.
Power Cable for AC input (optional DC cable for DC input voltage).
Users Manual CDROM
Mounting Hardware, 10-32 Locking Nuts . (for Panel Mount units only)
Touch Interface Cable, Serial or USB (Optional when touch is installed)
CDROM with Touch Screen Drivers (Optional when touch is installed)
2.4 Connecting the VT190 display
1. Connect all cables to the computer first. This would include the VGA Video cable and any optional
touch interface cable, serial or USB.
2. After connecting the cables between the LCD monitor and the computer, connect the Power Cable to the
display and the customer supplied DC voltage source. Check the display unit label to determine the correct
DC voltage.
3. Turn the DC voltage source on. The display will be active.
4. Turn on your computer. The display should now operate showing your OS or the video that is being supplied
to the flat panel.
Note: If for any reason the display goes blank and gives an “Out of Range” or “No Input Signal”, your computer
or video source is supplying a signal that is “out of range” of the LCD’s video board. If this happens, reboot the
computer or video source and make sure you are supplying the correct video resolution and refresh signal. If the
display doesn’t work properly, it may be because:
The resolution is too high or low for the LCD.
The refresh rate is set too high. Set the refresh rate to 60Hz.
The power source is incorrect.
The unit is malfunctioning. If you believe this to be true, disconnect the video cable from the LCD display
and connect to a known working display. If the display is working satisfactory and the video is within the
appropriate range, then contact Vartech Customer service for a RMA number at 800-223-8050.

TOUCHSCREEN
SECTION 4 
4.1 Introduction 
Touch screens are a common means to interface operator inputs to a system. The universal standard of Windows GUI
(Graphical User Interface) has significantly increased the use of touch screens.
There are five main touch technologies. The technologies are resistive, surface acoustic wave (SAW), capacitive,
infrared (IR), and projective capacitive. Each touch technology has advantages and disadvantages based on
different user applications.
4.2 Installation
All Vartech Systems displays configured with a touch screen are supplied with a CDROM which includes user manuals,
application software, and drivers for various operating systems. Insert the supplied CDROM into a CDROM drive and
follow the installation instructions that will appear on the screen.
Technical support is available by contacting Vartech Systems customer support at 800-223-8050.
