Mechanical Dimensions
All dimensions shown in inches (mm).
A top-down view of the touchscreen's rear shows overall dimensions of 5.51 in (140 mm) width and 3.82 in (97 mm) height. A side profile view shows a depth of 0.635 in (16.1 mm).
Mounting Diagram
All dimensions shown in inches (mm).
A detailed diagram of the mounting plate indicates various mounting hole patterns: 3.28 in (83.3 mm) for US MOUNT - UNC 6-32, 2.37 in (60.3 mm) for UK MOUNT - M3.5, 4.75 in (120.6 mm) for UK 2-GANG MOUNT - M3.5, and 2.36 in (60 mm) for EU MOUNT - M3/M3.5. The overall width of the mounting plate is 4.75 in (120.6 mm) and height is 3.82 in (97 mm). An offset of 1.89 in (48 mm) from the top edge to the center of the mounting holes is also indicated.
Accompanying visuals illustrate the compatible backboxes: a U.S. 4x4 junction box with 1-gang mud ring (horizontal), a UK Square Backbox, and an EU Round Backbox, showing how the mounting plate integrates with each.
Example: System Riser Diagram
A system riser diagram illustrates the network connections. Multiple Athena Touchscreens are connected via Ethernet to PoE Switches. These PoE Switches are connected to QP5 units, which in turn connect to Q-POE-PNL units. The entire system is connected to a Building Network, with IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at Ethernet connections indicated for power and communication.
