Arestech SM-115P/VM-2100 15″ PCAP Sunlight Readable Touch Screen Monitor with 1,500 Nit XGA LCD and Front IP65

The SM-115P/VM-2100 is the projected capacitive build in the Arestech SM-115(P)(R)/VM-2100 series, putting a PCAP touch screen over a 15 inch, 1,500 nit sunlight readable LCD. It suits outdoor kiosks, cab terminals and machine HMIs where operators work the screen bare-handed in bright light.

  • Projected Capacitive Touch: PCAP touch screen for light, bare-finger operation of HMI and kiosk software, behind a front IP65 aluminium die-cast bezel.
  • 1,500 Nit Sunlight Readable LCD: 15″ 4:3 XGA panel with 1,500 nits, 2500:1 contrast and 176° viewing, readable in direct sunlight and from off-axis positions.
  • VGA, DVI and DisplayPort Inputs: Three video inputs plus USB 2.0 and COM on the VM-2100 module, with an audio line-in and two 2 W speakers.
  • 9 to 48 V DC with Ignition Sensing: Terminal-block DC input with ignition sensing and a PC/Car mode switch, protected to 52 V over-voltage and -48 V reverse voltage.
  • Panel, VESA or Wall Mount: Fanless from -10 °C to 60 °C, with a panel mount kit for a 370 x 294 mm cut-out and 100 x 100 mm VESA holes.

SM-115P/VM-2100 Overview

Touch screens on outdoor kiosks, vehicle cabs and machines near open doors face two problems at once: glare that washes out the image, and operators who need to hit the right button first time. The SM-115P/VM-2100 is the projected capacitive configuration in the Arestech SM-115(P)(R)/VM-2100 series for that job, a sunlight readable touch screen that pairs PCAP touch with a 15 inch LCD at 1,500 nits.

The panel is 4:3 XGA at 1024 x 768 with a 2500:1 contrast ratio and 176° viewing angles in both axes, which keeps HMI graphics and kiosk menus legible in daylight and from beside the unit. PCAP touch responds to a light bare-finger press, so the SM-115P/VM-2100 suits software designed for tablet-style interaction. A remote OSD connector lets brightness and input be set from a separate keypad once the monitor is sealed into a panel.

Arestech’s VM-2100 video module on the rear takes VGA, DVI and DisplayPort, with USB 2.0 and COM ports, a line-in for two 2 W internal speakers and a terminal block for remote power on/off. For operators in heavy gloves, the SM-115R/VM-2100 uses a 5-wire resistive screen instead, and the SM-115/VM-2100 drops touch for display-only stations.

Power is 9 to 48 V DC on a three-pin terminal block with ignition sensing, so with the PC/Car switch set to Car mode the SM-115P/VM-2100 follows a vehicle’s ignition, and over-voltage, reverse-voltage and over-current protection guard it against a noisy supply. It runs fanless from -10 °C to 60 °C with 20 Grms shock and 1.5 Grms vibration ratings, and the front panel is IP65 compliant for panel, VESA or wall mounting.

Official Arestech UK Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Arestech UK distributor, supplying the SM-115P/VM-2100 configured and tested for UK kiosk, cab and machine projects. In the Arestech range the DM-1XXP/VM-2100 pairs PCAP touch displays from 10.4 to 24 inches with the same video module, and the SM-112(P)(R)/VM-2100 offers this sunlight readable build in a 12 inch size.

With PCAP touch the SM-115P/VM-2100 sits among our capacitive touch screen monitors, our sunlight readable displays and our 15 inch touch screen monitors. Where bright light and bare-finger touch meet on a kiosk, a cab terminal or a machine HMI, this is the build of the series to specify.
