Carefully cut out a notch in each rib and cut back each fin that contacts the sensor.
•
Make sure you remove only enough material to facilitate the installation of the
sealing gasket and sensor.
•
Make sure you clean any excess material or shavings from the cutout area.

Make sure you preserve the structural integrity in the rest of the rib area.
Mounting the Sensor to the Display
Note
: For ease of maintenance, put a border of polyimide tape around the perimeter of
the display. Then adhere the 3M VHB mounting tape to the polyimide tape. The
polyimide tape will allow you to easily remove the VHB tape if the need arises.
When handling the 3M™ MicroTouch™ DST2270DX sensor and associated electronics,
make sure you wear an ESD strap to prevent electrostatic discharge to electrical
components on the sensor.
Strips of thin, foam tape (VHB 5962 and VHB 5925) with adhesive on both sides are
already attached to the sensor. Use these strips to attach the sensor to the display metal
frame. The sensor must be mounted such that the spacing between the sensor and the
display does not vary due to compression or expansion from touch forces or temperature
changes. Failure to mount the sensor in this fashion may result in reduced functionality.
Note:
If for any reason you need to replace these mounting tapes, you must use 3M
brand VHB 5962 and VHB 5925 tapes. These tapes are an integral part of the DST
system and were chosen for their mechanical and thermal properties and will ensure
optimal performance.
It is essential that the user evaluate this product to determine whether it is suitable for
their particular purpose and method of application.
