Handling and ESD Protection
When mounting the touch screen and controller, use normal precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices. The EX II controllers have internal protection to ±27 kV
for ESD discharges to the touch screen (not to the controller directly) that may occur
during normal operation of the touch screen. Refer to Appendix A for further
specifications.
Establishing the Data Connection
The EX II controllers require that an RS-232 serial communication cable be attached to
connector JP1.
You can use a standard 3M Touch Systems RS-232 cable (P/N 7310101) or an equivalent
interconnect. One end of this cable plugs into the RS-232 connector (JP1) on the
controller. The other end, which has a 9-pin D connector, plugs directly into a serial
COM port on your PC. Table 1 describes the interconnections for the 3M Touch Systems
RS-232 cable.
