Installation & Usage Tips
•When properly installed, nothing should be applying contact pres- sure to the touchpad except for the operator’s finger. If something is touching the touchscreen window, a false signal can be generated causing the touchpad not to respond to a finger press (Sunfire does not recommend wrapping the removable frame with wallpaper as this can cause the aforementioned symptom).
Too much force on the front of the touchpad, or concentrated pres- sure, can damage the polyester film or break the underlying glass plate.
•Avoid installation in direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light (such as grow lamps, plant lights, or compact fluorescent lights). This can degrade and discolor the polyester film.
•Avoid installation over heat generating devices and/or in moist areas where condensation can form on the polyester film. Both heat and condensed moisture can affect touch screen performance.
•Avoid installation next to thermo- stats. The touch screen generates heat that can affect thermostat control and readings.
•Avoid applying any foreign ob- jects, such as adhesive labels, on the touchscreens polyester film.
This can release chemicals that can discolor the clear film.
•The touchpad should not be mounted near electronics that emit radio frequencies or elec- tromagnetic interference (such as the deflection circuits of CRT monitors, light dimmers, and some power supplies)
•The edge of the touchpad has exposed sharp glass. Be careful when handling the assembly in order to avoid injury.
Cleaning the touch screen
To clean the polyester film, first use a soft dry cloth to remove contamination. If dust or smudges are still present, disconnect the touchpad, and use a damp cloth that has been squeezed of excess water to remove the contaminant. If contaminants are still present, use a
