Cabinet Design

Give some thought as to where you place the touchmonitor. The user
should be able to easily reach the screen, so do not place the touchmoni-
tor either too high or too low in the cabinet.
Elo LCD Touchmonitor User Guide - 32
Your touchmonitor and PC need to remain dry. If your kiosk
must be located outdoors build a cabinet that protects your
touchmonitor and PC from the weather (see Appendix E for
touchmonitor environmental specifications).
Build the kiosk cabinet so that it will support the weight of the
touchmonitor (see Appendix E for touchmonitor specifica-
tions).
To ensure trouble-free operation, make certain your kiosk
touchmonitor is properly ventilated. Leave at least four inches
of air space around the touchmonitor and make certain that the
ventilation slots, located on the top and bottom of the touch-
monitor, are not covered or blocked.
The temperature around your touchmonitor needs to remain
within the range specified in the tables in Appendix E. An
increase in temperature will degrade your touchmonitor's per-
formance and reduce its life span.
Dust will damage your touchmonitor. You can prevent damage
this damage by keeping the air ventilation intake away from
the floor, or by adding a filter.
You want your kiosk cabinet to make a good first impression
on potential users. Choose a finish that does not show finger
prints. Avoid polished stainless steel, chrome or glossy black
paint.
