Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.

1. The PC 8153 Series does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system must be loaded first
before installing any software into the computer.

2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist
strap and place all electronic components in any static- shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static
electrical charge.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the PC 8153 Series before any installation. Be sure both the system and external
devices are turned OFF. A sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components that the PC 8153 Series must be properly
grounded.

4. The brightness of the flat panel display will be getting weaker as a result of frequent usage. However, the operating
period varies depending on the application environment.

5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
directly onto the screen. The PC 8153 Series may

come with or w/o a touch screen. Although the touch screen is
chemical resistant, it is recommended that you spray the liquid cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen. In case your

system comes without the touch screen, you must follow the same procedure and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel
directly.

6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touch screen.
Scratches on the touch screen may cause malfunction or internal failure to the touch screen.

7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration.
When assembling the PC 8153 Series, make sure it is securely installed.

8. Do not open the system's back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is
allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from
electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

all interrupt request (IRQ), DMA assignment, and Used DMA fields disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them. The
default value is "Manual".

IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt to one of the following types in accordance with the

type of devices using the interrupt:

1. Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for
serial port 1).

2. PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture. The
default value is "PCI/ISA PnP".

Identify the Communication Port and IRQ Number

1. For the first time installation, or changing Pen Mount Touch Screen's COM port, use PMDETECT (e.g. C:\PEN
MOUNT\PMDETECT) to check the COM port and IRQ number. PMDETECT will save the correct data to PMOUSE.CFG file for
further use.

2. The driver detects your communication COM port and IRQ number from COM1 IRQ4, COM2 IRQ3, COM3…. to COM4
IRQ15. Pen mount driver can find the COM port and IRQ number automatically. The screen will then show:

Pen Mount is initialized successfully!!! Create file "pmouse.cfg". Success. Pen Mount internal settings: Comm. Port: COM<n>
IRQ<n>

3. PMDETECT program is able to skip the IRQ number detecting if the Touch screen Driver Installation 13 does not need to
detect the specified IRQ number. For example, you do not need to detect IRQ5, and the command is: C:\PEN
MOUNT\PMDETECT -N5

4. If you do not need to detect IRQ5 and IRQ9, the command is: C:\PEN MOUNT\PMDETECT -N5 -N9
Do Calibration

1. To adjust the touch screen mapping properly to display screen, use PM.BAT (C:\PEN MOUNT\PM) to do calibration.
Choose "1" DO CALIBRATION (adjust screen mapping).

2. The message pops out to ask if you select the video mode number.
Use keyboard to select starting the calibration, touch the upper- center point, then right-center point, bottom-center point and

left- center point in sequence. After the calibration is done, the data will be shown on the screen, then press any key to con­tinue the progress.

3. After the calibration, you are suggested to test the touch screen and display mapped results by choosing "3" DRAWING
TEST under PM.BAT

Initializing the Pen mount Driver
If you don't have the initialization commands in AUTOEXEC.BAT, initialize Pen mount C:\PEN MOUNT\PMINIT) controller before

you use the Pen mount Touch Screen. The display will show the initialization message:
Pen mount V7.06 Copyright(c) SALT International Corp. Test:COM<n> IRQ<n> (<n> is the number after PMDETECT done)
Pen mount communication settings: COM<N> IRQ<n> Baud Rate: <xxxx>
Demonstration
