21.5 Inch Waterproof Touch Monitor – PCAP, Glove and Water Operation

This 21.5 inch waterproof touch monitor is designed for industrial HMI, kiosks and public terminals that must work with wet hands, gloves and daily cleaning.
It combines a full HD LCD, projected capacitive (PCAP) touch and a sealed front panel for reliable use in harsh environments.

If you are still comparing different touch structures for your project, our

Industrial Touch Screen Buyer’s Guide

explains how to choose the right PCAP stack-up, controller and cover glass for industrial applications.

Main Features

• 21.5 inch, 16:9 full HD display
  The monitor uses a 21.5 inch 16:9 panel with 1920×1080 resolution.
  Therefore, graphics, icons and small text stay clear on HMI dashboards, menus and video content.
• PCAP multi-touch with fast response
  The projected capacitive sensor supports smooth multi-touch gestures and quick response.
  As a result, users enjoy a tablet-like experience on an industrial-grade device.
• Glove and water touch support
  The touch firmware is tuned for thin work gloves and wet surfaces.
  Even when there are water drops on the glass, the screen can still detect intentional touches and reduce false triggers.
  These tuning methods are similar to the harsh-environment tips in our
  
  PCAP touch screen guide
  .
• Waterproof front panel, up to IP65
  The flat, sealed front glass provides up to IP65-level protection on the front side.
  It is easy to wipe and withstands daily cleaning and splashes.
  The sealing concept follows the ideas in our

  .
• High transmission tempered glass with anti-glare
  High transmission tempered glass keeps the image bright and sharp.
  In addition, an anti-glare surface helps reduce reflections from indoor lighting and windows.
• Wide operating temperature
  The system is built for a wide operating temperature range, suitable for indoor factories, semi-outdoor kiosks and transportation terminals.
• Metal housing with efficient heat dissipation
  A robust metal enclosure and optimized air vents improve heat dissipation.
  As a result, the monitor supports long-term 24/7 operation with stable performance.
• Rich I/O interfaces
  The rear panel offers VGA, DVI, HDMI and USB ports.
  This makes integration with industrial PCs, embedded boards and media players very straightforward.

Mechanical Design and Mounting

The slim, flat front design supports embedded, wall-mounted and panel-mounted installations.
Standard VESA mounting holes on the rear side help integrators save time on mechanical design.
At the same time, the front glass edge is smooth and easy to clean, which is important for public and food-related environments.

Industrial Reliability and EMC

The waterproof touch monitor is engineered with industrial reliability in mind.
Proper grounding, shielded cabling and careful PCB layout help reduce EMI and ghost touches.
These reliability ideas are consistent with the practices we describe in our article on

waterproof, dustproof and impact-resistant touch screens
.

Typical Applications

• Industrial HMI panels on production lines
• Self-service kiosks in shopping malls and public buildings
• Food and beverage terminals that require frequent cleaning
• Logistics, warehouse and transportation information displays
• Medical carts and nursing stations with glove and disinfectant use
