Introduction
From Point-of-Sale To Point-of-Service
With the BA83 you are using a ergonomical and customer-friendly cashier's
workplace.
The BA83 is connected to the system via a VGA or DVI interface. Power is
supplied via a PoweredUSB interface or an external power supply unit. The
Touch screen as well as the USB Hub are contolled via a USB cable or via a
PoweredUSB cable.
The display can be applied in all trade market segments like specialist re-
tailers, department stores, self-service stores, petrol stations or in restau-
rants. There is indeed a great deal of scope for implementing the BA83.
They can be used, for example, as:
a point-of-sale terminal
an ordering terminal
an information terminal
a desk terminal.
The low-energy, flickerfree and radiation-free colour monitor of the BA83
is a LCD in TFT-technology (Thin Film Transistor).
Therefore, it is well suited for multimedia applications as it offers brilliant
colour representation, an excellent contrast ratio and a high display speed.

Security
The operator panel module can be mounted horizontally turned thus to
handicap the access.
Slightly press the module
inwards at the left and right
hand side (1). Remove the
module of the recesses and
carefully move it off
downwards (2).
Carefully turn the device
through 180° (3).
Reinsert the module into
the recesses (4). Mind not
to jam the cables.
Protection
If you do not need the USB interface in the operator panel and you want to
close the port you can order a small cover in the required colour at Wincor
Nixdorf. To attach this bezel remove the operator panel as described above
and insert the bezel between USB interface and the panel.

Capacitive Touch Screen
General
The TFT Touch Screen works according to the principle of a change in
analog capacitance. It has a glass screen with a transparent, thin-film over
lay on the surface. This is fully sea led and protected by a further layer of
clear glass. Electrodes on the edges of the screen provide an uniform low-
voltage field. As soon as you touch the screen with your finger the contact
point is “recognized” by the change in capacitance.
Because this happens very quickly, the Touch Screen is optimally equipped
for a number of different requirements and applications. The programming
interface of the screen is identical to the mouse interface.
Connecting a BA83 for the first time, we recommend that you calibrate the
Touch Screen. Details depend on the Operating System that you use.
How To Operate
The Touch Screen responds to the slightest contact, therefore you do not
have to apply pressure when working with the screen. Touching the touch

glass has the same effect as clicking the left mouse button. You only need
to apply a little pressure with the fingertip. In this capacitive process only
fingertip contact is recognized. The touch screen does not react in any way
if touched, for example, with a pen.
Cleaning Instructions
Always turn off the system before cleaning.
The glass surface of your Touch Screen should be cleaned with a
mild, abrasive free, commercially available glass cleaning product.
All pH neutral materials (pH 6 to 8) are good for cleaning.
Cleaners with pH values 9 to 10 are not recommended. Cleaning
with water and isopropyl alcohol is possible as well. Do not use
solvents containing acetic acid. Use a soft, fine-meshed cloth to
clean the surface. Dampen the cloth slightly and then clean the
screen.
A wrong maintenance may cause damages to the screen, which
are not covered by guarantee or warranty.

Infrared Touch Screen
General
The infrared (IR) technology is based on the interruption of a grid of IR light
beams before the surface of a screen. The touch frame contains a row of
infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photo transistors, each mounted
on two opposite sides to create a grid of invisible infrared light.
How To Operate

Touch Activation

Receiver
3 Active Display Area

Transmitter
IR light beams are produced and transmitted over the surface of the
screen. The photo sensors accept the beams. When an object (min. 8mm
Ø), such as a finger, enters the hidden grid, it obstructs the beams.
One or more photo sensors detect the absence of light and transmit a
signal, that identifies the x and y coordinates.

Breaking through the grid has the same effect as clicking the left mouse
button. Therefore, touching the glass is not necessary.
To avoid malfunctions: Do not fix labels or stickers on the frame and do
not put pencils or the like on the inner frame.

Swipe Card Reader (Option)
The swipe card reader (MSR
Module), that is available as an
option, can read three ISO tracks
simultaneously in a single swipe.
The MSR module is fitted on the
right-hand or left-hand side of the
keyboard module or screen module.
How To Operate
Run the swipe card through the slit of the swipe card reader from top to
bot tom in a quick and steady movement. Make sure that the magnetic
strip is to the right. When using swipe cards, the following should be
observed:
Swipe cards should never be allowed to come into contact with
liquids.
Swipe cards should not be bent or folded in any way.
Swipe cards should not be allowed to come into close contact with a
magnetic field.
Swipe cards should only be inserted in the top of the specially designed slit
of the reading device. If the card is inserted in another place, this could
damage the reading head.

BA83 User Manual
Cleaning Instructions
In order to guarantee good reading results, the swipe card reader should
be cleaned from time to time. This is carried out by using a special
cleaning card that can be purchased from Wincor Nixdorf.
