VisuNet DM industrial monitors

 

The industrial monitors VisuNet DM (Direct Monitor) deliver reliable operation and long life in harsh application environments, or in applications demanding continuous duty operation. They are true industrialized monitors, delivering the highest MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the industry at over 550,000 hours. These high quality flat panel monitors carry both the UL and CE mark, and are available for general purpose or Class I/Div 2 environments. Touch screen and transflective options are available.
 

VisuNet DM flat panel monitors are available in 10”, 12”, 15”, 18” and 19” sizes, and are rated for use in temperatures ranging from -10° C to 60° C. They accept standard VGA or NTSC (or PAL) inputs from a PC or video camera source. Additionally, they can multi-sync to any standard video mode from 640x480 to 1280 x 1024 at scan rates from 60 to 75 Hz, without image distortion or flicker. The VisuNet DM industrial monitors are 12 V DC powered displays, powered from an external power supply to keep heat away from the monitor, maximizing reliability and operating life.



VisuNet DM rugged flat panel monitors are made with only industrial grade components. No consumer grade electronics are implemented in the product to cut costs. This differs with other monitor manufacturers that package steel around a commercial grade LCD, and sell it as an industrial device. Starting with an industrial grade LCD is only the first step to delivering a premiere-quality product. Additional attributes that make these a true industrial flat panel display solution include:

  • Heavier gauge metal & wiring, corrosion protection
  • Internal bulkhead wiring, gold plating, latching/tie downs
  • Better shock/vibration specs, shock absorbing gaskets
  • Higher temperature and humidity specs
  • Brighter back lamps (up to 600 nits) and wider viewing angles
  • Longevity/support/replaceable back lamps
  • Full industrial agency ratings


Pepperl+Fuchs industrial grade monitors are available with an optional resistive touch screen. This allows the operator to use a finger, glove, stylus, etc. to initiate the touch screen functionality. A self-calibration tool is provided for precise adjustments. For PC interface, our touch screens have both a USB and Serial output to be connected to the host PC.



An additional option for harsh environments is a hardened resistive touch screen. A thin glass layer is bonded to the front user surface providing superior protection against long term surface wear and incidental scuffs. This glass layer also protects against the effects of corrosive chemicals and provides shatter protection from frontal impacts. The hardened resistive touch screen is interchangeable with the standard touch screen, and can be upgraded upon request.
