5.7. Touchscreen or Front Bezel Assembly

The APOLLO is able to accommodate Elo analog resistive touch or Intelli (SAW) touch or MicroTocu capacitive

touchscreen. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN DIFFERENT TOUCH MODULE IS INSTALLED, DIFFERENT TOUCHSCREEN METAL BRACKETS ARE NEEDED. YOU CAN NOT REPLACE ONE TYPE OF TOUCH PANEL WITH THE OTHER WITHOUT CHANGING THE TOUCHSCREEN METAL BRACKETS USED TO HOLD THE TOUCH PANEL TO THE FRONT BEZEL.

The following steps illustrate the ways to assemble the toucshcreen to the front bezel.

1.There are 4 rubber slips which are already one-side taped with glue. Glue the 4 slips to the gutters located at the back side of the plastic front bezel. The 4 rubber slips act as cushions to absorb the pressure when the touchscreen is fixed to the front bezel with screws.

2.There are 4 metal brackets used to fix the touchscreen to the front bezel. The metal brackets have to be taped with soft tapes as shown on Figure 5-6 (7) & (8).

3.Then, fix the touchscreen to the front bezel with the 4 metal brackets with screws. The soft tapes are used to absorb the pressure when the metal brackets fix the touchscreen to the front bezel.

If no toushcreen is installed, there are two options. One is to put a resilient glass instead. The advantage of putting a resilient glass is to protect the LCD panel.

The other option is to fix 4 bronze sticks (5 mm) to the LCD bracket to push the LCD panel forward to make up the gap between the LCD and the front bezel. But when using this way, two screw holes on the front bezel need to be cut to prevent LCD mechanism interference to the front bezel.
