3M Touch Systems Proprietary Information
Mounting the Touch Screen
There are several methods for mounting the touch screen depending on your
application (CRT displays or flat panel displays, each in a variety of sizes).
If you need instructions or recommendations from 3M Touch Systems on
how to incorporate a touch screen into your OEM design, refer to the Touch
Screen Kits Installation Guide (P/N 19-215) or the Flat Panel Display
Integration Reference Guide (P/N 19-250). All 3M Touch Systems
documentation is available from the corporate website at
www.3Mtouch.com or from the Touch Solutions CD (P/N 19-640).
Handling and ESD Protection
When mounting the sensor and controller, use normal precautions for
handling electrostatic sensitive devices. The EX II 3000SP has internal
protection to 27 kV for ESD discharges that may occur during normal
operation of the touch screen.
Turning On Your System
Before you turn on your custom system, ensure that all cables are connected
properly and that the controller is properly mounted. Be sure to tighten all
cable connector screws.
To start up your system:
1. Turn on your monitor and computer.
2. Adjust the contrast and brightness to suit your personal preference and working
environment.
3.
Adjust the horizontal and vertical position controls on the monitor to center the
image on the screen.
The EX II 3000SP controller has a light emitting diode (LED) on one edge
of the board that indicates the status of the touch screen unit.
If the LED is on, and remains dimly lit, the controller has power and is
operating properly. If the LED is off, the controller is not receiving power.
Status Light (LED) Diagnostics
3M Touch Systems controllers are highly reliable units; however, there may
be occasions when the controller does not perform exactly as you expected.
The EX II 3000SP controller provides diagnostic feedback with an LED
indicator on the controller.
