Why do I need a TouchIT BalanceBox?
Is every teacher the same height? Is every student the same height? Is every one of your colleagues in a meeting the same height? The answer is of course no! Therefore, how do you choose the optimal height to mount your TouchIT LED? This is always a difficult question so what the BalanceBox does is that it allows you almost 16" or 40cm of height adjustment so with little to no effort, you can raise and lower even the largest of touchscreen. This height adjustment is perfect for being able to allow people of different heights access to all parts of the touchscreen.
The BalanceBox is available in a variety of formats. Wall mounted, Supported Wall Mounted (for when the wall cannot bear the weight of the screen itself) on a rolling cart and then there are electric versions and an Interactive Table version, that we call Fusion 2. All offer the same thing, access to the Interactive Flat Panel for all which is paramount when you are investing in this technology.
Mounting / Assembly / Balancing Tips
- Once you have the mount attached to the wall and have placed the TouchIT panel on it, the panel should remain at the top. This is because the springs are fully tightened.
- Be sure that the panel is centered on the mount. If not, the vertical movement will not be smooth.
- To allow the panel to start moving downward, use an eclectic screwdriver or screw gun. Using a 13mm socket, loosen the spring tension by turning the head of a bolt located on the top of the BalanceBox counterclockwise.
a. We generally suggest approximately 5 second counterclockwise bursts to begin with
b. Do the same time on EACH SIDE - keeping the tension even. If one side becomes dramatically looser than the other, the panel will not move smoothly.
- Test as you go and the panel will begin to pull down more easily, initially wanting to return to the top.
- When you reach the point where the panel drops and does not want to raise back up, you’ll need to re-tighten the springs. Turn the screws CLOCKWISE to tighten for a couple seconds, again evenly on both sides
- Once it remains balanced, test it in a number of positions in the range of motion to ensure it stays – be picky! It will pay off in the long run.
