Arestech SM-124PW/VM-2100 24″ PCAP Sunlight Readable Touch Monitor with 1,500 Nit Full HD LCD and Front IP65

Touch screens in bright places face two problems at once: glare that washes out the image, and operators who need to hit the right button first time. The SM-124PW/VM-2100 is the projected capacitive configuration in the Arestech SM-124(P)(R)W/VM-2100 series for that job, a sunlight readable touch screen that pairs PCAP touch with a 24 inch widescreen LCD at 1,500 nits.

The panel is a 16:9 FHD LCD at 1920 x 1080 with a 5000:1 contrast ratio and 178° viewing angles horizontally and vertically, 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-124PW/VM-2100 suits software designed for tablet-style interaction on large outdoor kiosks, line overview screens and control points beside open doors. 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, a two-pin terminal block for remote power on/off and a remote OSD connector. For operators in heavy gloves, the SM-124RW/VM-2100 uses a 5-wire resistive screen instead, and the SM-124W/VM-2100 drops touch for display-only stations.

Power is 9 to 48 V DC on a three-pin terminal block with ignition sensing and a PC/Car mode switch, protected against over-voltage to 52 V, reverse voltage to -48 V and over-current to 20 A, with an optional 12 V, 120 W adapter for mains sites. The SM-124PW/VM-2100 runs from -10 °C to 60 °C, is rated for 20 Grms shock and 1.5 Grms vibration from 5 to 500 Hz, and mounts in a panel, on a 100 x 100 mm VESA arm or on a wall.
