Avalue ARC-1700 17″ PCAP Industrial Touch Monitor with 5:4 SXGA LCD and Front IP65 Bezel

Plenty of SCADA and HMI screens were drawn for a 5:4 monitor, and a widescreen replacement would leave them stretched or boxed in. The ARC-1700 is Avalue’s 17 inch industrial touch monitor for those systems, with a 5:4 SXGA LCD, 10-point PCAP touch and an IP65 front panel. It carries no computer of its own and runs from the PC or controller already on the desk or machine.

The panel runs at 1280 x 1024 with an LED backlight, 350 nits and an 800:1 contrast ratio. Viewing angles are 160° horizontally and 140° vertically, so it reads best mounted near eye level. The projected capacitive touch layer supports up to ten touch points with 89% light transmission, which suits HMI software built for touch gestures, 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. Touch connects to the host over USB Type-B, and two 5 W speakers are built in. An optional bi-directional Wi-Fi 6 module can carry the image and USB touch signal where cabling is awkward. For 4:3 software the ARC-1500 offers a 15 inch XGA panel, and for widescreen layouts the ARC-21W00 steps up to 21.5 inch Full HD.

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 -20 to 70 °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 392.72 x 325.32 x 70.25 mm and weighs 4.6 kg, with a panel mount kit included and wall, stand or 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting as alternatives.
