      Installation Options

      Installation Option 1: Desktop

      Option 1 uses the included panel tabletop stand. 

      To Desktop Mount the Panel:

      1. Press the kickstand to the rear of the panel in the desired orientation. The stand pops into place, locking to the panel.

        Note: There are 2 options for tabletop stand orientation. Each option results in a different viewing angle.

        • Orientation 1: Insert the stand into the panel with the tail facing down, creating a downward facing arc. This gives the panel a more forward-facing view, close to a 60° angle.
        • Orientation 2: Insert the stand into the panel with the tail facing upward, creating a curve upward. This gives the panel a more upward-facing view, close to a 30° angle.
      2. Slide a stand grip onto each slot on the stand.

        (Optional) To prevent the panel from sliding, attach the included non-slip base grips. Place one base grip on each corner of the panel.
      3. Plug the included power supply into the rear of the ClareOne Auxiliary Touchpanel.
      4. Plug the opposite end of the power supply into an electrical outlet.

        The Touchpanel automatically powers up.

        Note: If remote power is required for installation, please refer to Clare Touchpanel Power Extension Kit Installation Sheet (DOC ID 1854)

         

        Installation Option 2: Wall Mounted

        Option 2 requires the panel to be wall mounted. Use the included screws and metal plate to mount the panel flush with the wall.

        To Wall Mount the Panel: 

        1. When mounting on drywall, install at least two of the provided wall anchors in the desired location. Four anchors is preferred. The drill bit should be no larger than 1/4”.
        2. Place the mounting bracket against the wall, ensuring that it is in the desired location and close to an outlet.
        3. Using the included screws and a power drill, securely attach the bracket to the wall.
        4. Plug the included power supply into the rear of the ClareOne Auxiliary Touchpanel.

          Note: If remote power is required for installation, please refer to Clare Touchpanel Power Extension Kit Installation Sheet (DOC ID 1854)

            5. Slide the panel onto the mounting bracket. 
            1. Plug the opposite end of the power supply into an electrical outlet. 
              The Touchpanel automatically powers up.
