TPM-3217P Overview
Kiosk users and machine operators expect a touch screen to respond like a phone, with a light tap rather than a firm press. The TPM-3217P is the projected capacitive configuration in the Arestech TPM-3217 series: a 17 inch industrial touch monitor with PCAP multi-touch, a 350 nit SXGA LCD and IP54 ingress protection for panel mounting.
The PCAP touch screen has a 7 Mohs surface hardness and 90% transparency and connects to the host over USB. Underneath is a SXGA LCD at 1280 x 1024 with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 170° horizontal and 165° vertical viewing angles, which suits embedded HMI displays and kiosk software built for tap and swipe gestures.
The TPM-3217P takes a single VGA input, so it pairs with controllers, industrial PCs and kiosk computers that have an analogue video output. Power is 12 to 24 V DC from a single source on a two-pin Phoenix terminal block, drawing 22 W typical. Where operators wear gloves, or the controller expects a serial touch interface, the TPM-3217R offers 5-wire resistive touch over USB or RS-232.
The TPM-3217P measures 411.4 x 337.5 x 41.6 mm, weighs 4.82 kg and fits a 392.8 x 318.9 mm panel cut-out, with 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 mm VESA holes as an alternative. It operates from -20 °C to 60 °C at 5 to 95% humidity and is vibration-tested from 5 to 500 Hz at 2.16 Grms, and the IP54 rating protects it against dust and splashing water. Arestech names embedded HMI displays, factory automation, ATMs and self-service kiosks, and vending and ticketing machines as the target applications.

Official Arestech UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Arestech UK distributor, supplying the TPM-3217P configured and tested for UK machine builders and kiosk integrators. Within the Arestech range the TPM-3215 offers the same build at 15 inches, and the DM-117P/VM-2100 adds DVI and DisplayPort inputs with a front IP65 bezel.
With PCAP touch the TPM-3217P sits among our PCAP touch monitors, our industrial panel mount monitors and our 17 inch touch screen monitors. Where a kiosk or machine needs light bare-finger touch on a VGA feed, this is the TPM-3217 configuration to specify.
