Information About QPI-2D100-E2P

This variant of the QuickPanel series is designated their QPI2D100E2P unit; a 9 diagonal inch, electroluminescent touch screen display. This model is capable of a high intensity contrast ratio to allow users to operate and manage the industrial line’s information and reports while on site, even if the external lighting system is extremely bright.

The QPI2D100E2P module has a viewing screen with a height of 7.92 inches, or 201 millimeters, and then a width of 10.2 inches, or 259 millimeters. The overall dimensions of this model give it a height of 8.5 inches/216 millimeters, and a width of 10.79 inches/274 millimeters. The depth that the QPI2D100E2P module reaches is up to 2.23 inches/56.5 millimeters.

The standard weight of the unit is just under 2.5 kilograms, or, 5.5 pounds, which then factors in the additional weight of the 4X/12 NEMA graded protective case. This IP-65 rated case protects from the possibility of any workplace accidents damaging the unit, or any possible environmental danger. Dust particles may be invasive and mess with the internal systems, and then water damage may corrode the unit.

The image resolution of the QPI2D100E2P model’s display is in 640 by 400 pixels. The electroluminescent display is in an amber monochromatic hue. The optimal power intake requires a V/DC range of 20 to 24 volts, and while in use, consumes up to 50 watts of energy.
