Touchscreen Control Display:
The Touchscreen Control display can be considered as a computer through which you can control the
entire GENIUS Compact sorter system. Theoretically the entire sorting process can be controlled using
this display.
The touchscreen can also give information concerning the hardware of the sorter and the sorting process,
and major electrical and electronic failures will be indicated by messages in the appropriate touchscreen
menu (further information on the messages and the use of the touchscreen display will be given in the
Troubleshooting chapter and the chapter on the use of The Touchscreen Display).
