Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Page 43
Hardware Installation2-33
Use the below table to determine the proper screw to use.
There are two types of touch screens for the RealPOS X-Series Display (5968):
• Projected Capacitive (PCap) Touch Screen
• Resistive Touch Screen
Projected Capacitive Touch Screen
PCap touch screens have all the benefits of normal capacitive touch screens and more.
• Fast processing of tough information
• High sensitivity (use conductive pencils, with hands, and with thin gloves.
• Multi-touch capability (10-finger)
• High resolution
• Improved legibility and display brightness due to optimal light transmission
• Anti-glare surface
In addition, the technology of PCap touch screens is characterized by significantly
higher robustness and stability than common capacitive touch screens because the
active touch surface is located on the back side of the touch screen. instead of the front
side. Therefore, the active surface is not directly touched and does not wear off by
normal use.
Since most surface contamination do not cause interference to the touch screen the
RealPOS X-Series Display can be used in public or severe environmental conditions.
Using the PCap Touch Screen
The PCap touch screen responds to the lightest touches. Touching with a single finger
resembles the left mouse button. Two fingers are used to zoom IN (fingers brought
together) or zoom OUT (fingers pulled apart). Circular motion can be used to rotate an
element on the screen. This function must be supported by either the Operating System
or the application.
Page 46
3-36Operation and Cleaning
Resistive Touch Screen
The resistive TFT touch screen is constructed of a hard-coated polyester top sheet that is
overlaid on a conductive-coated glass layer. Voltage is applied to the top sheet. As a user
touches the screen, the top sheet compresses and comes into contact with the glass
layer, causing current to flow to the four corners in proportion to the distance from the
edge. Ths controller then calculates the position of the finger, based on the current flow.
Because the controller derives both the "X" and "Y" touch coordinates from the stable
glass layer, ther accuracy and operation of the touch screen is unaffected by any damage
that may have occured to the top sheet.
Using the Resistive Touch Screen
The resistive touch screen functions as traditional single-touch screens.
Touch Screen Cleaning Procedures
1. Using a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or a mild non-abrasive soap &
water solution, gently wipe the touch screen clean.
2. Wipe the screen and edges dry.
3. Make sure the glass and screen edges dry completely before using the unit.
4. Do not use sharp objects to clean around the edges of the touch screen.
Page 47
Operation and Cleaning3-37
Magnetic Stripe Reader
There are two types of Magnetic Stripe Readers (MSR) for the display.
• ISO 3-Track (Encrypted)
• JIS
The card reading is bi-directional and can be mounted on the right side of the display.
Using the MSR
Swipe the card through the slot in the MSR in a quick and steady movement. The
magnetic stripe must be facing up and with the stripe in the slot.
Care of Cards
• Cards should never come in contact with liquids.
• Cards should never be bent or folded in any way.
• Cards should never come in close proximity of a magnetic field.
Card Thickness
The MSR module accepts standard cards within the thickness range of 0.68 – 0.84 mm.
Page 48
3-38Operation and Cleaning
Biometrics Fingerprint Reader
High quality fingerprint templates are imperative for the security of the biometric
security system. Low quality fingerprint templates can impact future read rates.
Therefore, using the Biometrics Module should be done very carefully. In case of
inexperienced users who are using the module for the first time, the process should be
assisted (guided) by an administrator or experienced user.
Sensor Cleaning Procedures
Daily Cleaning
Before each authentication, it is recommended that the user first clean the sensor. Place
adhesive tape onto the sensor and then pull it off. This assures that residue from
previous usage is removed.
Caution: Do not use abrasive materials to clean the sensor, including paper products.
Only adhesive tape should be used.
Using the Biometrics Reader
Place your thumb/finger flat and straight on the sensor. If this is not possible, try to
place your thumb/finger on the sensor in the same angle every time.
Page 49
Operation and Cleaning3-39
Under normal usage conditions dirt, residue, oils, and other materials can collect on
users’ fingers. This can possibly cause poor collection of fingerprint data, which can
cause performance degradation. For best results it is recommended that the user keep
their fingers relatively clean and free of residue that may alter the sensor performance.
Adhesive tape can be used to clean fingers. Adhere the tape to the finger and then pull
it off.

Appendix A: Touch Screen Calibration
Note: Only units with resistive touch screens need to be calibrated. PCap displays do
not require calibration.
Proper Touch Screen Methods
Before performing the calibration procedure please observe the following guidelines for
proper/improper methods of touching the screen.
• Face the monitor directly.
• Perform the calibration in the position (sitting or standing) that you normally expect
to use the touch screen.
• Touch the calibration target firmly and precisely with your fingertip. During
calibration, be careful to keep your fingernails and other fingers away from the
touch screen as you touch each target.
• The hand and calibration finger should be perpendicular (straight up) from the
touch screen during touch down and removal of the calibration finger. Keep the
other fingers closed and away from the touch screen.
