Waterproof IR Touch Screen 10.4 to 21.5 Inches (TE Series) is designed for equipment that needs reliable touch operation beyond conventional indoor environments. Outdoor vending machines, charging stations, parcel lockers, self-service kiosks, and information terminals may face rain, dust, sunlight, temperature changes, and frequent public interaction. A suitable touch interface therefore needs to combine environmental protection, responsive operation, durability, and easy system integration.

The TE Series uses 10-point infrared touch technology, a 3mm tempered glass surface, an aluminum alloy frame, IP65 waterproof and dustproof protection, and strong resistance to ambient light. Available in multiple sizes from 10.4 to 21.5 inches, it gives equipment manufacturers more flexibility when designing outdoor or semi-outdoor products.

IP65 Protection for Outdoor Touch Applications

Outdoor equipment is exposed to environmental factors that ordinary office touchscreens rarely encounter. Dust may collect around the front panel, rain can reach the operating surface, and changing humidity and temperature can affect long-term reliability.

The TE Series combines a one-piece injection-molded light-transmitting frame, waterproof adhesive, and mechanized glass bonding technology to create a sealed touch assembly. The resulting IP65 rating helps protect the touchscreen against dust and water exposure under applicable operating conditions.

This makes the series suitable for vending equipment, outdoor smart charging systems, advertising kiosks, parcel lockers, self-service terminals, and other machines requiring a protected front interface.

For OEM manufacturers, integrating a touchscreen with its own environmental protection can reduce dependence on the external cabinet structure alone.

10-Point Infrared Touch Technology

The TE Series uses infrared sensing technology to detect touch input across the screen. It supports up to 10 touch points and offers a specified response time of less than 10 ms, providing fast interaction for public-facing equipment.

The supported touch object is greater than 7 mm in diameter, making it suitable for common interface operations such as menu selection, information browsing, digital instructions, service functions, and interactive controls.

Depending on software configuration, multi-touch can also support gestures, navigation, zooming, and other interactive functions. The use of infrared technology allows the touch function to operate without a conventional capacitive sensing layer.

Reliable Performance Under Strong Ambient Light

Sunlight can be a major consideration when deploying infrared touch technology outdoors. Excessive ambient light may interfere with infrared sensing if the system is not designed with sufficient light resistance.

The TE Series is specified for anti-light performance up to 8000 Lux with full-angle light resistance. This provides greater flexibility for equipment installed in locations exposed to strong or changing illumination.

Charging stations in parking areas, outdoor kiosks near entrances, vending machines, and public terminals may all experience direct or indirect sunlight during daily operation. Strong light resistance can therefore help maintain dependable touch interaction without limiting equipment placement solely because of lighting conditions.

3mm Tempered Glass and Aluminum Alloy Construction

The front surface of a public-use touchscreen may experience frequent contact and occasional impact. The TE Series incorporates 3mm tempered glass to provide a robust protective layer.

The tempered glass works together with an aluminum alloy frame to form a reinforced touchscreen structure. With an approximately 8mm bezel, the design maintains a relatively compact appearance while accommodating the components required for infrared sensing.

For equipment manufacturers, the aluminum frame can also integrate naturally with metal cabinets and customized machine enclosures. The strengthened front surface is particularly useful where the touchscreen will be operated repeatedly by different users.

USB Plug-and-Play Integration

System integration is another important factor when selecting a touchscreen for OEM equipment. The TE Series uses a USB 2.0 full-speed interface and supports plug-and-play operation under compatible systems.

The USB interface provides a transmission rate of up to 480 Mbps, while the aluminum alloy USB plug is designed for practical connection in equipment applications. Supported operating systems include Windows, Android, and Linux.

This compatibility allows manufacturers to connect the touch interface to a host computer without relying on complicated installation procedures in supported environments. It can simplify touchscreen deployment during equipment assembly, testing, and maintenance.

Multiple Screen Sizes for Different Equipment Designs

Outdoor equipment comes in many sizes, so using one fixed touchscreen dimension may not always be practical. The TE Series is available in 10.4, 12.1, 15, 17, 19, and 21.5-inch configurations.

The smaller models include 4:3 and 5:4 formats, while the 21.5-inch version uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. This selection allows manufacturers to choose a display size based on the available cabinet space and required user interface.

A compact 10.4-inch or 12.1-inch touchscreen can work well for control panels with limited installation space. Larger 17-inch, 19-inch, and 21.5-inch models provide more room for detailed menus, information displays, and self-service applications.

Project-specific customization is also available for elements such as logo, screen size, border color, border material, and surface treatments including AG, AR, and AF.

Designed for Extended Operation

Many outdoor machines need to remain available throughout the day and may operate continuously. The TE Series supports maximum non-stop 24/7 operation.

The specified operating temperature is -10°C to 50°C, with a storage temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. It can also operate at relative humidity of up to 90% without condensation.

These specifications are useful for equipment exposed to daily changes in temperature and humidity. Combined with IP65 protection, strong ambient-light resistance, tempered glass, and an aluminum frame, the touchscreen is designed for applications where stable availability is important.

Practical Installation for OEM Equipment

The TE Series is designed to simplify integration into equipment structures. After connecting the USB cable to the host system, the touchscreen can be positioned behind the equipment viewing window and secured using double-sided adhesive tape according to the installation requirements.

The front panel can then be aligned with the intended viewing area before the assembly is fixed into position. This installation approach can be convenient for OEM manufacturers adapting touchscreens to existing cabinets.

The compact bezel also gives designers more freedom when developing the appearance of vending machines, charging equipment, kiosks, lockers, and other self-service products.

Selecting an Outdoor Touchscreen for Your Project

When choosing a touchscreen for outdoor equipment, manufacturers should look beyond screen size and touch response alone. Environmental protection, sunlight resistance, glass strength, operating temperature, connection method, software compatibility, and installation dimensions can all affect the final performance of the machine.

A touchscreen with suitable protection can help reduce environmental risks, while multi-touch functionality can provide a more intuitive user experience. At the same time, multiple size options and customization capabilities can make integration easier for different equipment structures.
