Other

• All images and instructions in this manual are primarily for indicative purposes. There may be differences or changes between the images/instructions and the actual product.

Preparation for Installation

A mounting bracket or trolley is not included with your display, as there are various options for installing the display according to your requirements:

• Fixed to the wall, height-adjustable, mobile
• Or a combination of the above.

Consult i3-CONNECT.com to see different options. Refer to the installation manual of the chosen bracket.

The display features standardized VESA mounting points on the back, which can be installed with M8 size screws.

Most brackets on the market are compatible with this standard. They vary in 10 cm increments for width and height, as well as in the maximum load they can support. Consider this if you add accessories such as soundbars and/or camera systems.

Refer to the drawings in this chapter to find the specifications and position, which differ for each size.

End of Life

i3CONNECT ELM

We extend the lifespan of our products with modular technologies and are even able to give our products a second life after their first use. We are proud of what we do for a more sustainable world.

We strive to increase the circularity of our products and improve recyclability and reuse at the end of their lifespan to avoid unnecessary waste.

If you need to part with one of our products, please consult our website for the latest instructions on how to proceed.

We are the first (and currently only) touchscreen manufacturer with a circular passport for our touchscreens. This includes a transparent overview of the materials we use, the CO2 impact of our solutions, and a presentation of initiatives we are taking to minimize our impact.

Recyclability of Our Products

At the end of a product's life, valuable materials are often overlooked and disposed of in landfills. We believe that sustainability does not end when our products reach the end of their useful life. That's why we conducted a study to investigate the recyclability of our products. The results?

• 88% of the materials used in our products can be recycled.
• 12% are incinerated with energy recovery.
• A portion of 0.1% ends up in regulated landfills.

We strive to increase the circularity of our products and improve recyclability and reuse at the end of their lifespan to avoid unnecessary waste.
