Step 3
Attach the Ethernet cable from the electrical box
to the rear of the XTS touchscreen. If using PoE
power, no other wiring connection is needed. If
using 12VDC power, connect the 12VDC terminal
to the rear of the XTS touchscreen as well.
Note: The XTS uses a dynamic DHCP network
address. A DHCP-reservation may be used on a
compatible router when a more permanent IP
address is required.
Step 4
Attach the XTS touchscreen to the mounting
bracket by inserting the prongs of the mounting
plate into the matching slots on the rear of the
XTS. Make sure that the XTS is oriented as shown
in the diagram below. There are two captive
mounting screws. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
tighten the screw at both the top and bottom of
the XTS to secure it in place.
Installation Instructions
Step 1
Install the electrical box or P-Ring. The typical
recommended mounting height for a wall-
mounted touchscreen is for the center of the
electrical box/p-ring to be at 59” (150cm) from
the floor height. This may be adjusted for user
preference, but the 59” height is recommended
to accommodate all users.
Note: The electrical box/P-Ring must be a
1-gang piece. Make sure that the box/P-ring is
mounted level and flush to the wall surface.
Step 2
Attach the XTS mounting plate to the electrical
box or P-ring using the supplied screws. The
plate should be mounted so that the two prongs
at either end are facing into the room. These
prongs will be used for attaching the XTS to the
mounting plate.
