Why an Elo Touchmonitor?
Buying an Elo touchmonitor is
the surest, fastest way to get your touchscreen application up and
running and make sure it stays that way for a long time. Because standard
desktop monitor models change frequently-and are seldom designed with
touch in mind-it's difficult for typical providers of touchmonitors
based on office desktop displays to ensure reliability under the heavy
usage experienced by the most successful touch-based systems.
Elo's line of touchmonitors gives you the advantage of over 30 years
of experience in touchmonitor design. We continuously listen to our
customers' demands for better touch solutions, and we've implemented
these needs into our newest line of touchmonitors-which can truly be
called "designed for touch." In the new line, Elo has applied
its extensive knowledge of touch technologies, CRTs, and LCDs to the
design and manufacture of consistently high-quality, reliable touchmonitors
with full agency approvals and Elo's renowned service and support.

Elo Has It All
Elo touchmonitors allow you to source a complete touch hardware solution
from one vendor rather than three (touchscreen kit, monitor, integration
service). So Elo touchmonitors save you both time and a potentially
high investment in monitor integration (capital equipment, supplies,
facilities, expertise, and personnel).
You Get a Touchmonitor Designed for
Touch
Not all touchmonitors are created alike. Elo sets monitor specifications
that enable the production of high-quality, low-cost monitors optimized
for touch. Elo can also provide custom
modification, incorporating a variety of cabling, sealing, packaging,
and other options, so your touchmonitor is perfectly suited to your
application.
Off-the-Shelf Touchmonitors Get You Up
and Running Quickly
Elo can
offer you touchmonitors that are ready to use, right out of the box.
Elo's touchmonitors for kiosk and industrial applications have fixed
outside dimensions. Elo will maintain the model design of its metal-chassis
touchmonitors much longer than the average plastic-case monitor manufacturer,
thus reducing the need to redesign your application around a monitor
component change.
You Avoid Safety Risks to Yourself
or Your Monitor
Everyone knows to avoid electrical shock from high-voltage components
inside the monitor, but did you know that it's possible to shorten
the life of your monitor if the power tap is installed incorrectly?
Or that if a touchscreen is poorly sealed to the monitor interface,
it will allow dust to degrade the optics of your touchscreen? With
an Elo touchmonitor you get assurance of lasting quality and safety.
Elo Provides Ruggedized Packaging
To ensure that the touchmonitor makes it to you-and on to your customer-Elo
takes special care in securing touch components inside the monitor
and using packaging that withstands all industry-standard drop tests.
Shipment of each box includes a force indicator that warns if excessive
force and possible damage occurred during shipping.
You Have All the Information You Need
Elo touchmonitors ship with an Elo TouchTools CD, which contains drivers
for all popular operating systems, technical manuals, and diagnostic
software. Drivers, technical
information, and product specs are
also available 24 hours a day on this web site.
Elo Touchmonitors Come with Agency
Approvals
Elo's standard touchmonitors are recertified after the addition of
touch components (FCC, CE, TÜV, UL, cUL) for ease in certifying
your end system. In fact, Elo's standard CRT touchmonitors contain
all best-practice recognized features, such as digital on-screen display
(OSD) controls; power management (Energy save mode, VESA/DPMS); and
Plug and Play compatibility (VESA DDC1 and 2B compliant).
Technical Support
Elo's technical
support and application engineering staff bring a wealth of experience
to the development and deployment of touch-based systems. With resources
throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, Elo can provide technical
support and application engineering assistance almost anywhere in
the world-on site if necessary-including guidance in the advanced
setup and configuration of Elo software drivers for special needs.
Elo offers a variety of online resources to help customers and developers
troubleshoot problems. These resources include step-by-step troubleshooting
and online diagnostic tools; "TouchTools Software," offering
a complete line of software drivers and development tools for all
popular operating environments; and downloadable product
manuals and literature.
Manufacturer's
Warranty
Without the agreement of the monitor manufacturer, a monitor's warranty
is voided as soon as the monitor is opened. When you purchase Elo touchmonitors,
Elo guarantees full customer satisfaction. Every Elo touchmonitor,
the world over, comes with Elo's quality service. Elo also offers out-of-warranty
repair services for your convenience. |
