There are two types of connections for touch panel communication: USB connection and RS-232C con-
nection.
Normally use a USB connection for the touch panel.
Use an RS-232C connection in the following cases.
• The Touch Panel Monitor (FH-MT12) and the FH series Sensor Controller are more than 5 m apart.
• All the USB ports of the FH series Sensor Controller are used for other I/O connections, and thus
there is no available USB port for the Touch Panel Monitor (FH-MT12) connection.
Note that following restrictions apply to each type of communication.
• If the Touch Panel cable (USB or RS-232C) is accidentally slipped out during FH series Sen-
sor Controller is running, cannot operate the Touch Panel even if you try to re-connection the
cable. For continue to operation or perform, connect a wired USB mouse which is not need to
install driver.
• To re-operate the Touch Panel, confirm the connection Touch Panel Monitor FH-MT12 and
FH series Sensor Controller, and then retry to initiate the Sensor Controller.
For detail of OSD (On-screen display), refer to Model FH-MT12 Touch Panel Monitor
INSTRUCTION SHEET.
