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:
  1. Use a soft lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber cloth.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The cleaner must be neither acid nor alkali (neutral pH). A small amount of hand sanitizer can work.
  5. When using cleaner, avoid contact with the edges of the film or glass.
  6. 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.
  7. Never use acidic or alkaline cleaners, or organic chemicals such as paint thinner, acetone, toluene, xylene, propyl or isopropyl alcohol, or kerosene.
  8. Use of incorrect cleaners can result in optical impairment of touch panel and/or damage to functionality.
  9. 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.
