PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
5
Starting Point
The Orion 20 is a thin, lightweight,
rugged direct-mount liquid crystal
display.
Designed to replace bulky power
guzzling 17 to 21 CRTs.
It has a 20.1 diagonal active display
area, featuring up to 1280 x 1024
pixel resolution.
The Orion 20 display plugs-and-plays
with workstations and PCs.
With active-matrix LCD technology to
provide superior color, the
lightweight aluminum construction
and sharper resolution is perfect for
shipboard, airborne, field
deployments, industrial or lab
applications where high resolution as
well as weight and size are a driving
factor.
Each Orion 20 features a transparent
SAW TouchScreen over the FPD area,
front eight button control panel, and
low power usage that extends the life
of the monitor as well as emanation
protection that make it less susceptible
to electromagnetic interference.
Modulated Fan Option
In order to maintain proper cooling of
the display and its electronics, the
Orion 20 monitor includes a variable
speed fan that turns on when the
monitor control electronics
temperature rises to 30o C. The speed
of the fan increases gradually, as the
temperature rises from 30
o
C up
through 50
o
C.

Troubleshooting
SAW TOUCH PANEL
OPERATION
Verify that the pointing device (if not a
finger) is soft enough to absorb the
signal.
A finger, soft eraser or rubber stylus
will work.
A hard eraser, pen or metal stylus
will not absorb enough of the
signal and the touch panel will not
respond.
Verify that the SAW Panel driver is
loaded in the host computer.
If loaded, the driver will be found
in the Control Panel directory.
If not loaded, install the driver.
TOUCH PANEL NOT RESPONDING
WHEN TOUCHED
The SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave)
Touch Panel incorporates a glass
overlay with transducers that generate
ultrasonic waves that are directed over
the front surface of the glass. When
touched, a portion of the wave
traveling across the screen is absorbed. The received signal is
compared with a stored digital map,
the change recognized and a coordinate calculated.
Doc# 27-0010UM Issued 02/01 Rev 1.0

Troubleshooting
SAW TOUCH PANEL
After verifying that the ELO Touch
Screen driver is installed, verify that
the touch panel is responding to the
host computer.
From the ELO Touch Screen
Program, select the Diagnostic
tab.
If the touch panel is responding, a
check mark will be in the Controller Information box next to the
COM port menu.
If it is not, a red X will appear next
to the COM port menu.
If a red X appears, verify that the
appropriate COM port has been
selected and that the serial cable is
connected to the touchscreen port
of the display unit.
If the COM port matches the
connection of the host computer
and you still get an X when
initialized, then verify that the
serial cable type is a Straight
Connect not Null Modem type.
If all of the above is correct then
there is something wrong with the
touch panel, contact Z
Microsystems Customer Service at
(858) 657-100 x232 or fill out an
RMA Request Form at
www.zmicro.com/rma-request.htm

Troubleshooting
SAW TOUCH PANEL
If the cursor does not move under the
pointer when touched, calibration of
the touch panel may be required.
Note: whenever the monitor is
connected to a new or different host
computer, calibration of the touch
panel should be performed. Calibration is performed as follows:
1. From the Control Panel Directory,
select the ELO Touch Screen
Program on the host computer.
2. Select the General tab
3. Press the Align button at bottom
of menu.
4. Follow on-screen instructions
