Avalue ARC-21W00 21.5″ PCAP Industrial Touch Monitor with Full HD LCD and Front IP65 Bezel

Control rooms and operator stations often need to show a whole line or process at once, with trends, alarms and controls on one screen. The ARC-21W00 is Avalue’s 21.5 inch industrial touch monitor for those views, with a Full HD 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 16:9 panel runs at 1920 x 1080 with an LED backlight, 250 nits and a 3000:1 contrast ratio, the highest in the ARC family, with 178° viewing angles horizontally and vertically. The projected capacitive touch layer supports up to ten touch points with 86% light transmission, so operators can tap, swipe and pinch across a large layout. 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 a cable run is awkward. The ARC-15W00 offers a smaller 15.6 inch widescreen for tighter cut-outs, and the ARC-1700 keeps a 17 inch 5:4 panel for older SCADA screens.

Power is a 12 V DC input, with an optional 9 to 36 V DC wide-voltage input, and a 100 to 240 V AC 60 W adapter is supplied. The fanless monitor operates from -10 to 50 °C 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 538.05 x 341.05 x 71 mm and weighs 5.9 kg, with a panel mount kit included and wall, stand or 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting as alternatives.
