Handling and ESD Protection
When mounting the sensor and controller, use normal precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices. The SC500 has internal protection to ±20 kV for ESD
air discharges to the touch screen (not to the controller directly) that may occur during
normal operation of the touch screen. Refer to Appendix A for further specifications.
Establishing the Data Connection
The SC500 USB Resistive Controller requires a 3M Touch Systems USB
communication cable (P/N 7319420) PC 99 compatible or an equivalent interconnect.
One end of this cable plugs into the USB connector (JP7) on the SC500 USB
Resistive Controller. The other end, which has a Type-A connector, plugs into a USB
port on your PC.
When creating a custom cable, use the Molex 51004-0500 mating connector. Table 1
describes the interconnections of the 3M Touch Systems USB cable.
