Maintaining PanelView

Terminals

Follow the instructions below to keep your PanelView 1000e, 1200e,
or 1400e terminal operating at peak efficiency.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Touch Screen

To clean the touch screen, use ethyl alcohol (ethanol) on a cotton
gauze pad. This is more efficient than isopropyl alcohol (which
leaves a slight residue upon first application), and safer than methyl
ethyl ketone (MEK). MEK is harmless to the touch screen, but
repeated applications will discolor the bezel if the paint surface is
broken or scratched.

Cleaning the Keypad

To clean the front of the keypad terminal, use a 50% solution of
alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl) in water on a cotton gauze pad or soft
cotton cloth. You can also use a mild soap or detergent and warm
water, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning the Enclosure

Use a 50% solution of alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl) in water on a
cotton gauze pad or soft cotton cloth to clean the enclosure.

Important:

The cleaning solution should be applied to the cloth
only, not directly to the enclosure.

Important:

Internal components can be damaged if fluids get into
the enclosure.

CRT Intensity (1200e and 1400e)

The lower the intensity at which the cathode ray tube (CRT)
operates, the longer its life. You can control the intensity of your
screen with the color contrast and brightness controls on the
terminal.
