Starter Kit
4D Systems highly recommends all first time buyers of
4D Systems’ displays, to purchase the Starter Kit when
purchasing their first 4D Systems display solution.
The Starter Kit provides all the hardware that is
required to get the User up and running.
Not all development environments and features will
be needed by every User. However, by purchasing the
display solution in a Starter Kit allows you to take full
advantage of all of the features of the 4D Systems
Display Solution and try out each of the 4D Woskshop4
Environments prior to settling with the preferred
feature-set.
The Designer environment can utilise every feature of
the display, however depending on the user
requirements, a micro-SD (uSD) card may not be
required. The uSD card is used when displaying
images/video/sound, along with datalogging to uSD,
and a programming cable or adaptor is required for
downloading compiled code and PmmC/Firmware
updates.
The ViSi environment is the same as Designer in terms
of feature utilisation, but is image based so requires a
uSD card, along with a programming cable.
The ViSi-Genie environment is also image based, and
therefore requires a uSD card and programming cable
also.
The Serial environment does not require either a uSD
or Programming cable to be used once the module has
been configured as a Serial device, however can utilise
both depending on the user requirements. The uSD
card can be used for such things as storage and display
of multimedia files, datalogging, and the Programming
cable for PmmC/Firmware updates, or changing to one
of the other three programming environments.
Starter Kits typically include:
gen4 Integrated Display Module
gen4 Interface Module (gen4-IB)
4D Universal Programming Adaptor (4D-UPA)
4GB micro-SD Card
5-way cable for easy connection to a
breadboard or host via the gen4-IB
150mm 30-way FFC cable for connecting
gen4 display to gen4-IB or 4D-UPA
Quick Start Guide
Please refer to the 4D Systems website for current
components included in the Starter Kit.
Simply select the Starter Kit option when purchasing
the chosen display module on the 4D Systems
shopping cart, or from your local distributor.

Display Module Part Numbers
The following is a breakdown on the part
numbers and what they mean.
Example:
gen4-uLCD-50D-CLB-SB
gen4
- gen4 Display Range
uLCD
- microLCD Display Family
50
- Display size (5.0”)
D
- Diablo16 Processor
T
- Resistive Touch.
CT
- Capacitive Touch
CLB
- Cover Lens Bezel
SB
- Super Bright Display
For part numbers which do not include T or CT,
these are non-touch variants.
Cover Lens Bezels (CLB) are glass fronts for the
display module with overhanging edges, which
allow the display module to be mounted directly
into a panel using special adhesive on the
overhanging glass. These are available for non-
touch and capacitive touch only.
Resistive Touch models are not available in CLB,
as a CLB is made of glass and resistive touch relies
on mechanical flexing of a membrane to trigger
touch.

Cover Lens Bezel – Tape Spec
The perimeter of the CLB display modules features
double sided adhesive tape, designed to stick directly
onto a panel, enclosure, box etc without the need for
any mounting screws or hardware.
The tape used is 3M 9495LE tape, which uses the well-
known and strong 3M 300LSE adhesive.
The double sided adhesive has a thickness of 0.17mm
once the backing has been removed.
More information on this adhesive can be found on
the 3M website.
