Teachmint X Installation guide

Installation Information for Teachmint X Interactive Flat Panels

Safety Precautions

  1. Do Not Open the Panel:
    • Avoid opening or disassembling the interactive flat panel to prevent electrical shock from the high voltage inside. This action will void the warranty.
  2. Avoid Climbing:
    • Do not stand on a chair to touch the surface of the panel. Instead, mount it at the appropriate height. A guide for the ideal height is included in the box.
  3. Protect from Moisture:
    • To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the panel to rain or moisture.
  4. Bundle Cables:
    • Ensure that cables crossing the floor are properly bundled and marked to avoid trip hazards.
  5. No Objects Inside:
    • Do not insert objects into the ventilation holes, as this could cause electric shock, fire, or product damage not covered by the warranty.
  6. Use Approved Extensions:
    • Use only extension cords and outlets that can fully accommodate the panel’s polarized plug.
  7. Use VESA Mounts:
    • Use only VESA-approved mounts.
  8. Power Disconnection:
    • Disconnect all power cables from the wall outlet and seek assistance from qualified service personnel if:
      • The power cable or plug is damaged.
      • Liquid is spilled into the panel.
      • Objects fall into the panel.
      • The panel is dropped.

Moving the Interactive Flat Panel

  1. General Guidelines:
    • Move the panel at your own risk. Teachmint X is not liable for damages or injury during internal transportation.
    • Follow safety regulations.
    • Pack the panel in its original packaging, including the packing strips.
    • Move the panel with the top frame facing up.
    • Have at least two people move the panel.
  2. Through Narrow Spaces:
    • If you need to move the panel through narrow doorways or hallways, keep the foam pieces on the bottom corners for protection.
    • Rotate the panel so the top frame faces to the side if necessary, but install it with the top frame facing up.

Installing the Interactive Flat Panel on a Wall

  1. Choosing a Location:
    • Install the panel at the room’s focal point, such as the front of a classroom or meeting space.
    • Ensure the location is accessible to all users, including those in wheelchairs, and allows multiple users to access the panel simultaneously.
    • Avoid placing the panel where it could be hit by doors, near heat sources, or in places with tripping hazards.
  2. Power and Connectivity:
    • Ensure a 6 Ampere / 16 Ampere power outlet is present within 1 meter.
    • A network outlet is required if you plan to use a wired connection.
    • Using a UPS is highly recommended to ensure safety and longevity.
    • If the location is not near a power outlet, consult an electrician for setup.
    • Ensure proper earthing by an electrician.
  3. Visibility and Lighting:
    • The screen should be clearly visible to all users in the room, within a 178° viewing area.
    • Avoid bright light sources, such as windows or strong overhead lighting, that can cause glare or interfere with the touch system.
  4. Environment and Ventilation:
    • Ensure the location meets environmental requirements and is free from strong vibrations or dust.
    • Ventilation systems should not blow air directly on the panel.
    • Provide at least 2" (5 cm) of space on all sides for proper airflow.
  5. Height Consideration:
  6. Wall Strength and Flatness:
    • Verify Wall Strength: Ensure the wall can support the weight of the panel and mounting equipment. Teachmint recommends a minimum 6-inch brick wall with clear landscape on all sides.
    • Check Wall Flatness: Ensure the wall is no more than 3/16" (5 mm) off plumb horizontally and vertically to prevent issues with the touch system or damage to the panel.
      • To check wall flatness, place a long flat object, such as a meter stick or level, against the wall and measure any gaps. If gaps exceed 3/16" (5 mm), consider using shims or choosing another location. For more details about installation on different wall types- Click here

Using a Third-Party Wall Mount

  1. Requirements:
    • The stand must support the panel's weight and size, provide adequate ventilation, and be approved by VESA.
    • A lower center of gravity or adjustable height and a safety locking mechanism are recommended.
  2. Guidelines:
    • Avoid overloading the stand.
    • Be aware of the system’s center of gravity during movement.
    • Use the stand’s handles for transport.
    • Do not attach speaker brackets directly to the panel to prevent damage.
    • Ensure proper placement of speakers and microphones to avoid echo issues.
    • Use best practices for cable management to prevent damage during transport.
