Part no.: YOP1700HB2WT-TR - SO 110713 - Question: How to clean a 5 Wire Resistive Touchscreen instruction steps.
5 Wire Resistive Touch
A resistive touch screen monitor is composed of a glass panel and a film screen, each covered with a thin metallic layer, separated by a narrow gap. When a user touches the screen, the two metallic layers make contact, resulting in electrical flow. The point of contact is detected by this change in voltage.
How to Clean a Touchscreen:
- Use a soft lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber cloth.
- The cloth may be used dry, or lightly dampened with a mild cleaner. For example, you can use a mild soap and water solution, a 50% isopropyl alcohol mixed in 50% water solution, or a disinfectant product such as Virex.
- Be sure the cloth is only slightly dampened, not wet. Never apply cleaner directly to the touch panel surface; if the cleaner is spilled onto the touch panel, soak it up immediately with an absorbent cloth.
- The cleaner must be neither acid nor alkali (neutral pH). A small amount of hand sanitizer can work.
- When using cleaner, avoid contact with the edges of the film or glass.
- Wipe the surface gently; if there is a directional surface texture, wipe in the same direction as the texture. If not, gently wipe in in small circles.
- Never use acidic or alkaline cleaners, or organic chemicals such as paint thinner, acetone, toluene, xylene, propyl or isopropyl alcohol, or kerosene.
- Use of incorrect cleaners can result in optical impairment of touch panel and/or damage to functionality.
- Make sure that all of the cleaning solution is off of the screen after it has been cleaned. If you leave any, it can leave streaks or residue.
