Avalue ARC-15W00 15.6″ Widescreen PCAP Industrial Touch Monitor with 1366 x 768 LCD and Front IP65

Newer HMI and control software is usually drawn for a widescreen, with trends, alarms and controls side by side. The ARC-15W00 is Avalue’s 15.6 inch widescreen industrial touch monitor for that kind of layout, with a 16:9 LCD, 10-point PCAP touch and an IP65 front panel. It has no built-in computer and runs from the video output of the PC or controller on site.

The panel runs at 1366 x 768 with an LED backlight, 300 nits and a 500:1 contrast ratio, and it is viewable across 160° horizontally and vertically. Its 8 ms response is the quickest in the ARC family, which helps with scrolling trends and moving images. The projected capacitive touch layer takes up to ten touch points with 89% light transmission, and OSD keys sit on the rear cover.

Inputs are one HDMI 1.4a and one DisplayPort 1.2 input, both with HDCP 1.3, plus a 15-pin VGA input, with touch returned to the host over USB Type-B and two 5 W speakers built in. An optional bi-directional Wi-Fi 6 module can carry the image and USB touch signal where running cables is awkward. For a larger Full HD widescreen the ARC-21W00 moves to 21.5 inches, while the ARC-1500 keeps a 15 inch 4:3 panel for older software.

Power is 12 V DC through a DC jack, with an optional 9 to 36 V DC Phoenix input, and a 100 to 240 V AC 60 W adapter is supplied. The fanless monitor operates from -10 to 50 °C as standard, with -10 to 60 °C available as an option, at up to 95% humidity at 40 °C, non-condensing. It is shock-tested to MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6 at 20 G and vibration-tested to IEC 60068-2-64 at 1.5 Grms from 5 to 500 Hz, and it carries CE and FCC Class A marks. It measures 391.21 x 239.21 x 68 mm and weighs 3.2 kg, with a panel mount kit included and wall, stand or 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting as alternatives.
