Overview
MON6000AP Series Projected Capacitive Touch Monitors are industrial, heavy duty touchscreen monitors, designed for use with Industrial PC Computer Systems. Display size options range from 10.1 ~ 21.5”, with all displays offering a sunlight readable, high-brightness (1000 nits) output.
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. MON6000AP Series Monitors are rated for operational use in extended temperature environments of -4~140°F (-20~60°C).
All MON6000AP 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. In most cases, projected capacitive touchscreens do not require calibration.
MON6000AP Series Monitors are NEMA4 rated and carry a rugged IP66 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 MON6000AP Series monitor to a PC. MON6000AP Series Monitors include USB and VGA cables in the box to allow for ease of setup and use.
Note: If your PC does not have an VGA connector, you can use an HDMI™, DVI or DisplayPort cable (each sold separately) to connect your monitor to your PC, the steps are the same.
When connected to a computer running a Windows® 8.x or 10 Operating System, there are no additional drivers required for operation. Your MON6000AP Series monitor uses standard Windows® HID (Human Interface Device) Drivers. When connected to a computer running a Windows® 7 Operating System, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download the most recent touch panel drivers.
Connecting to a PC
Follow these simple steps to connect your 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 MON6000AP 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 MON6000AP Series monitor comes pre-configured with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (10.1” screen size), 800 x 600 pixels (12.1” screen size), 1024 x 768 pixels (15” screen size), or 1920 x 1080 pixels (21.5” screen size). It is highly recommended that the display resolution output of your PC matches the native resolution of the monitor.
If you wish to change the monitor’s display resolution, go to the Display Settings menu of your system and adjust from there. Note that the above-listed resolutions are the maximum displayable for each respective screen size; you can adjust to a lower resolution, but not higher.
Mounting Options
Mounting options include Panel Mounting and VESA 100 x 100 mm (VESA mounting stands / brackets sold separately). MON6000AP 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 MON6000AP Series monitor.
Maple Systems is not responsible for damage to unit, mounting surface or any other components caused by improper mounting.
Panel Mounting
MON6000AP 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 panel bolts with a torque force range between 7 ~ 8.5 inch/lbs. to ensure an adequate seal. Over torqueing the bolts may possibly negate NEMA or IP rating, or cause damage to the unit or panel.
VESA Mounting
In addition to panel mounting, the MON6000AP 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.
