Connections and Installation
Data Connection
Begin your installation by selecting a data connection. For most models, you may use either
a serial or USB data connection. MCI 15M and MCI 15MD models use USB only. Choose the
appropriate data cable from the accessory kit included with your monitor.
Please note that all Preh MCI Touch Monitors that include an MSR or MSR/Customer Display
also have an internal USB hub to interface with the peripheral devices. As a result, the display
will have only one USB cable which supports both touch data and the MSR/Customer Display
data.
Also, two additional User USB ports are available on the display, and these ports may be used
to connect additional USB devices to your system such as a mouse, bar code reader, etc.
Power, Video and Audio
Connect the power, video and (if desired) audio cables to the monitor, using the Quick Set-up
Guide for assistance,
Mounting
You may simply place the monitor upright on the base of the desk stand. However, if you wish
to use your monitor in any other way than resting it on its stand on a flat surface, you will need
to either:
Attach the stand to a countertop or wall
Dismount the display chassis from the stand and use the VESA mounting holes on the
chassis to attach the display to an arm or other mount.
Note: Connect the cables to the monitor before attaching the stand to a countertop or a wall if
access to cable connections will be restricted when the stand mounting is complete.
To attach the stand to a countertop or wall (MCI 15):
VESA; The four holes near the middle of the base plate are VESA-compatible with spacing
of 75 mm center to center. Use these holes to bolt the stand from the back side.
Keyhole Slots The three large “keyhole” slots may be used to secure bolts, inserted from the
front side, with nuts, threaded on from the back side of the mounting surface. Insert bolts in
mounting holes, loosely thread nuts on from back side, slip stand keyholes over bolt heads
and position bolt shaft in the narrow portion of keyhole slot. Tighten nuts from back side to
finish the installation.
Top-down Anchors; To attach the stand to the mounting surface from the front, use the two
round holes adjacent to the cable access cutout, and the hole in the center of the smaller
keyhole slot near the front of the base plate. The back holes are accessible through the stand
when the rear cover is removed, and the front hole is accessed through the small cover in the
top surface of the plastic base. To remove the cover, rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise by inserting
a flat blade screwdriver in the cover slot. To attach the display to an arm or other mount, use
the VESA-compatible holes after dismounting the display mounting chassis from its stand.
The VESA holes are designed to allow for easy attachment of the display to standard swing
arms and mounts.
