Elo offers touchmonitor with infrared sensor

September 8, 2003

FREMONT, Calif. -- Elo TouchSystems Inc., a business unit of Tyco Electronics, announced a new 15-inch LCD touchmonitor that features the company's CarrollTouch infrared touch technology.

The new 1525L with CarrollTouch infrared touch sensor is targeted to retail point-of-sale and kiosk-based point-of-information applications where customers will benefit from both its increased brightness and clarity and durability, according to a news release.

The new monitor, an enhanced version of Elo's Entuitive 1525L 15-inch LCD touchmonitor, is available with serial connectivity and safety agency approvals for sale worldwide.

"We chose to add Elo's CarrollTouch infrared sensor interface to the popular 1525L because it provides one of the highest rates of light transmission in the market, so there is no compromise of image quality or color purity," said Paul Wiener, Elo's marketing manager.

"The 1525L with CarrollTouch infrared touch sensor is the perfect choice for a public-use environment such as retail POS and kiosk POI. And infrared optical touch sensor technology means the monitor is virtually calibration-free, providing a stable, drift-free operation for a touch response that's always accurate."

The Entuitive 1525L desktop touchmonitor includes a specially designed stable base that can be bolted down, side controls that can be locked out in public, clean cable routing and a locking hinge to ensure protection in high-traffic environments, the release said.

It meets VESA mounting standards, which allows complete flexibility for wall- or pole-mounting configurations.
