Touchscreen location requirements

Note

Location requirementsTouchscreenTouchscreen performance can be affected by the installation environment, specifically Touchscreen displays installed above decks, where it will be open to the elements may exhibit the following:

  • Hot Touchscreen temperature — If the display is mounted where it will be exposed to prolonged periods of direct sunlight, the touchscreen may become hot.

  • Erroneous Touchscreen performance — Exposure to prolonged rain and / or water wash over may cause the display to respond to ‘false touches’, caused by the rain/water hitting the screen.

If, due to the required installation location, exposure to these elements is anticipated then it is recommended that you consider:

  • Installing a remote keypad such as the RMK-10 and operating the display remotely — Touch-only displays.

  • Locking the Touchscreen and using the physical buttons instead — HybridTouch displays.

  • Attaching a third-party ‘display hood accessory’ to reduce direct sunlight exposure and the volume of water that the display is exposed to.
