Overview
MON1000AP Series Projected Capacitive Touch Monitors are industrial, heavy duty touchscreen monitors, designed for use with Industrial PC Computer Systems. Display sizes range from 10.4 ~ 27”, with select displays offering a high-brightness (1000 nits) option. High Brightness displays are ideal for use in environments where there is a larger than normal amount of ambient lighting, allowing for the user to maintain readability of the display.
All MON1000AP Monitors feature Projected Capacitive Touch Screens, which allow for a more natural, intuitive user touch experience compared to traditional analog-resistive touch screen terminals. Benefits of projected capacitive touchscreens include multi-touch response (pinch and zoom functionality) and personal tablet-like operation. Also, projected capacitive touchscreens do not require calibration.
MON1000AP Series Monitors are NEMA4 rated and carry a rugged IP65 certification (when panel mounted).
For detailed specifications for the MON1000AP Series models, including CAD drawings, please see the datasheet posted on the unit’s product page on maplesystems.com.
PC Connection
You will need to set up your MON1000 Series monitor to a PC. MON1000 Series Monitors include USB and HDMI™ cables in the box to allow for ease of setup and use.
When connected to a computer running a Windows® 7, 8.x, 10 or 11 Operating System, there are no additional drivers required for operation. Your MON1000AP Series monitor uses standard Windows® HID (Human Interface Device) Drivers.
Note: If your PC does not have an HDMI™ connector, you can use a VGA, DVI or DisplayPort cable (each sold separately) to connect your monitor to your PC, the steps are the same.
Connecting to a PC
Follow these simple steps to connect your MON1000 Series Monitor to a PC.
Instructions: Connecting to a PC
Power Off All Equipment
Be sure all equipment is powered off.Connect Video Signal Cable
Connect one end of the video signal cable to the input connector on the monitor, the other end to the matching connector on your PC.Connect USB Touch Cable (Optional)
If touch operation from the monitor is desired, plug the “rectangular end” of the included USB cable to a USB port of your PC.The MON1000 Series can be used as a simple, non touch monitor if desired. Simply do not connect the USB touch cable if you do not want touch functionality with your Monitor.Connect Power Cable
Connect one end of your power cable to the power connector on the monitor, and the other end to the VDC output of your power supply.Power up the PC and MON1000 Series
Apply power to your monitor and PC. Your monitor should now be displaying your PC desktop.Your monitor is configured to automatically detect which display input connection method is used and will default to that connection.
If you wish to manually adjust the display input selection, see the On-Screen Display Operation section below.
Display Resolution
Your MON1000 Series monitor comes pre-configured with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (10.4~15” screen size), 1280 x 1024 pixels (17 and 19” screen size), or 1920 x 1080 pixels (15.6, 21.5” and 27” screen size). It is highly recommended that the display resolution output of your PC matches the native resolution of the monitor.
Mounting Options
Mounting options include Panel Mounting and VESA 100 x 100 mm (VESA mounting stands / brackets sold separately). MON1000AP Series monitors do not include a traditional monitor stand, as they are designed for industrial uses. Most commercially available monitor stands use the VESA mounting standard; should you choose to purchase a commercially available monitor stand, verify it will properly support the weight and mounting scheme of your MON1000AP Series monitor.
Maple Systems is not responsible for damage to unit, mounting surface or any other components caused by improper mounting.
Panel Mounting
MON1000AP units can be panel mounted using the mounting holes located on the rear of the unit. Use the included clamps to fasten the unit to the panel, cut out to the proper dimensions on the datasheet corresponding to your monitor size. Tighten the bolts no more than 5.1 in./lbs. to ensure an adequate seal. Over torquing the bolts may possibly negate NEMA or IP65 rating, or cause damage to the unit or panel.
VESA Mounting
In addition to panel mounting, the MON1000AP Series offer VESA 100 mounting as an option. VESA 100 x 100 mm threaded inserts are located on the rear of the unit. Use M4 threaded mounting screws to attach your VESA mounting bracket (not provided by Maple Systems) to the Monitor. Your monitor comes with M4x5mm mounting screws, but your VESA bracket may require screws of a different length.
