Usage Notes

This touch screen is exclusively designed for B&R APC620 series systems; it is incompatible with other B&R HMI models (e.g., Power Panel series) or third-party industrial PCs. When installing the unit, ensure the front panel gasket is properly sealed to maintain IP65 protection against dust and moisture. Use only approved AP Link cables to avoid signal loss or power issues; do not use uncertified extension cables. Calibrate the touch sensor during initial installation and every 6–12 months (or if input accuracy decreases) using B&R touch calibration software. Clean the screen regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and non-abrasive cleaner; avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive moisture that may damage the anti-glare coating or touch sensor. For ambient temperatures above 50°C or high-humidity environments, ensure adequate ventilation around the rear housing to prevent overheating and condensation. Do not expose the unit to direct prolonged sunlight for extended periods, as this may reduce backlight lifespan and cause screen discoloration over time.
