GENERAL OVERVIEW

1

Partner Tech is proud to offer the PM15 LCD monitor. It offers a versatile solution for many types of applications. Options include a resistive touchscreen, magnetic card reader as well as many types of

exible mounting solutions.

Flat Panel Display 1.1

This at panel display features an active matrix TFT LCD screen. It provides crisp, bright, color images with a maximum resolution of 1024x768 producing a full screen image from edge to edge. The 15” display has a wide viewing angle of up to 70 degrees and a brightness of approximately 250 cd/m2 (without touch) or “NITS”. The display easily interfaces with your PC via direct VGA input just as any monitor would connect. It includes a desktop stand, has an optional wall mount bracket, and is available

with an Ivory or Black housing.

Touchscreen1.2

The PM15 uses a touch screen by Touch screen technology. It was designed with the harshest environments in mind, so it’s no wonder that it excels in reliability, durability, and expected product

life. Impervious to environmental conditions such as liquid spills and splashes, humidity, these screens

are the most contamination resistant available.

Touch screen technology is the workhorse of resistive touchscreens, providing unsurpassed performance in POS, industrial, medical, and transportation applications. Touch the screen with a

nger, gloved hand, ngernail, or object such as a credit card, and you’ll receive a fast, accurate

response every time.

Software drivers are included which allow the screen to work with any mouse driven PC application in

DOS, Windows or Linux* environments.

(*Drivers for Linux are not included, but are supported)

IMPORTANT

The Touch Monitor can thus take over the function of both monitor and mouse, although a normal mouse can still be used in parallel to the Touch Monitor.

Mounting Options1.3

The PM15 comes standard with a desktop base or with an optional bracket using the VESA standard for other versatile mounting congurations such as wall or pole mounting.

Modular Magnetic Card Reader1.4

The PM15 also provides an integrated interface for a magnetic card reader which conforms to the

ANSI, ISO, JIS, AAMVA and CDL standards.
