Installation

Installation skills

Qualified technicians ("2Touch Certified Installers") are trained in the
installation of 2Touch devices, and to use specialised utilities to monitor
optical performance of the unit during the installation and thus ensure optimal
results. For this reason we can only provide help desk support for installations
performed or signed off by 2Touch Certified Installers.
Where a customer elects to "self-install" a 2Touch board, or use a person who
is not a 2Touch Certified Installer to install a board, we advise careful study of
this manual. It is also strongly recommended that a 2Touch Certified Installer
be contracted to at least provide a final inspection review, to confirm that the
installation work has been performed correctly and that the device is working
as intended.
Installers wanting to become 2Touch Certified Installers are invited to apply
by email to installers@twotouch.com.

Preparing for the installation

Optical systems rely on flat surfaces in order to deliver accurate and
consistent touch sensitivity.
It is vital that the wall onto which your 2Touch board is installed is absolutely
flat. If it is not, you will need to provide spacing such that the board is
absolutely flat both longitudinally and vertically. In particular, take care when
mounting the board to ensure that it does not bend or distort in any direction,
while hanging it onto the wall.
The 2Touch 2150 IWB is powered through the USB connection. This may be
supported by a powered USB hub.
Use only "passive" USB cable extenders if extension is needed between the
board and the USB hub or wall panel. Your AV or IT professional can advise
on alternatives such as cabling through Cat5 or using serial cabling.
The board is supplied with 1.2 m of USB cable terminating with a type A USB
plug. This is a fly lead emerging from the top left rear of the board. An
additional cabling loom provides wiring for an optional calibration switch.

Suggested tools and fittings

Selected fasteners (to secure the brackets against the wall, and perhaps also
to secure projector onto wall). In the case of the 2Touch IWB provide for
minimum of five securing points on the bottom of the board and three at the
top, ie minimum of eight fasteners. Be aware that the board's weight itself is
taken mostly through the lower fasteners, and the top fasteners are designed
to prevent the board from distorting and maintain the alignment of the
corners. Three types of fasteners should be considered:
• Plasterboard – wall anchors & wall mates
