TYCO ELECTRONICS INTRODUCES THE ELO TOUCHSYSTEMS
D-SERIES ALL-IN-ONE
TOUCHCOMPUTER FAMILY
-- New Family of Versatile All-in-One Touchcomputers Delivers Style, Flexibility and Functionality to
Retail and Hospitality Environments --
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Jan 11, 2009 – Elo TouchSystems, a Tyco Electronics business, is introducing a full line
of high performance versions of the original 15D1 All-in-One Touchcomputer. Small to medium-sized retail and
hospitality businesses now have four new choices of versatile, highly functional and elegantly designed
touchcomputer solutions.
“The original 15D1 represented an evolution in touchcomputer solutions,” explains Steve Aguirre, product
manager. “It delivered what our customers wanted -- a small footprint touchcomputer that combined
performance, strong value, enhanced field serviceability and more connectivity options. Now they have four more
choices based around an Intel Celeron Dual Core 2.2GHz or Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz and 15-inch or 17-inch touch
screens.”
"Elo invented touch technology over 35 years ago," says Mark Mendenhall, vice president, Tyco Electronics and
general manager, Elo TouchSystems. "We've never stopped innovating. This new touch technology joins the
extensive portfolio of Elo products developed to meet the changing needs and demands of our customers."
The D-Series family was developed from the ground up for point-of-sale and point-of-service applications. The
family offers compact, modern displays with a footprint that is sized to match standard cash drawers. The same
broad range of optional POS peripherals is still available from Elo and includes a perpendicular MSR card reader
for small spaces, a hand-held bar code scanner, a fingerprint reader, and a customer facing display. Upgrading or
adding new functionality to any D-Series touchcomputer system is quick and easy because peripherals are field-installable
to minimize downtime. All Elo D-Series touchcomputers are available with a range of input/output port
connection options to allow virtually any POS configuration and the D-Series family supports third party
peripherals such as cash drawers and printers.
Serviceability for the D-Series touchcomputers is easy - the unit’s motherboard, hard drive and power supply are
all easily accessible and field-replaceable to enable rapid replacement or upgrades. For customers who require
more storage capabilities, a second 160GB hard drive can easily be added. The unit’s hard drive, cable
management capabilities and spill-resistant housing provide a long functional life, all at a competitive price.
“We intend the D-Series for use by the small to medium-sized customer,” concludes Aguirre. “We’re confident this
family will exceed the expectations of even our most exacting customers.”
The D-Series touchcomputers are available with either Zero-Bezel AccuTouch resistive, IntelliTouch surface
acoustic wave, or Zero-Bezel Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR) touch technologies. The Zero-Bezel APR screen
provides a virtually 100 percent useable surface area. The zero-bezel design removes the frame or bezel of
standard monitors creating a seamless glass surface that supports a brilliant touch experience and easier
maintenance. Each unit is available with the Windows Express POS (WEPOS) operating system fully installed,
enabling broad compatibility with peripheral software and drivers. The 15D1 is also available with Windows XP, and cash drawer (OPOS) operating systems.
