Elo TouchSystems Introduces All in One TouchcomputerSeptember 2004—Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has announced the new 1525L 15in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) silent, fanless all in one touchcomputer. Elo has drawn on its 30 years of design experience and the success of the 1525L desktop touchmonitor to produce the space saving 1525L touchcomputer, that combines a touchmonitor with a computer in the space of a standard monitor. The 1525L touchcomputer includes a choice of Elo's industry leading IntelliTouch surface wave or AccuTouch five wire resistive touch technologies. Integrated options include a three track Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and a rear facing customer display. The Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP versions of the 1525L touchcomputer include a hard drive; the Windows CE.NET version has solid state components with no moving parts. Applications for the new all in one touchcomputer include bingo, loyalty systems, kiosk information systems, casino management, cash systems and Internet access points such as those for Web surfing and hotel reservations.

Sleek, Space Saving and Economical

"The sleek, space saving 1525L touchcomputer has the footprint of a standard 15in display, so the need for a desktop or tower case is eliminated by having everything built into the LCD enclosure," says Mike Sigona, Elo TouchSystems' market manager. "Its slim profile and compact size allow the 1525L touchcomputer to be used as a desktop or wall mountable unit. What's more, our effective design means that we can offer a complete all in one touchcomputer at a lower overall installed cost than for separate components. This is a natural advantage for touch applications when both space and budget are at a premium."

Wide Range of Connectivity and Operating Systems

The new 1525L touchcomputer offers a wide range of connectivity and operating systems. "Connectivity includes two serial, four USB, Ethernet, PCMCIA and PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports," says Sigona. "Operating system options include Windows CE.NET, Windows XP or Windows 2000. It is available as a solid state embedded system or with an integrated hard drive." Worldwide agency approvals include UL, cUL, FCC, IC, CE, TÜV, VCCI and C Tick.

Two Tough Touch Technologies

Elo's 1525L touchcomputer is available with a choice of IntelliTouch surface wave or AccuTouch five wire resistive touch technologies. IntelliTouch surface wave touch technology is the picture perfect, precision touch solution for high use indoor applications. It provides the highest light transmission (92 percent) of any touchscreen overlay plus industry leading durability and resistance to vandalism in public applications. AccuTouch five wire resistive touch technology is the preferred solution for applications that demand reliability, input flexibility and contamination resistance such as point-of-sale. Both IntelliTouch and AccuTouch offer stable, drift free operation and a touch response that is always accurate.
