3.3: Mounting the Nexus P60N Touch Screen External Display

n

The Nexus 1250 P60N Touch Screen Display mounts easily, using the diagrams above and on the
next page.  A bezel and a gasket are included with the P60N.  Since the P60N employs an LCD 
display, the viewing angle must be considered when mounting.  Install the P60N at a height and
angle that make it easy for the operator to see and access the screen.

n

For optimum performance, maintain 
the following conditions where the 
Touch Screen Display is mounted:

•

Operating Temperature: 0°C to 
+50°C / +32°F to +122°F

•

Storage Temperature: -20°C to 
+70°C / -36°F to +158°F

•

Relative Humidity: 25 to 65% 
non-condensing
