This article provides information about supported mounting methods for the Elo 53-Series IDS monitors.

• Note: It is strongly recommended that at least two people handle, lift, or move the IDS Display.
• Note: Do not leave the IDS Display facing down for long periods of time as this will cause permanent damage to the LCD panel.

Mounting Orientations
The following mounting orientations are supported: landscape, portrait and tabletop.

Landscape Orientation
When mounting the IDS Display in landscape orientation, ensure that the Elo logo appears in the same location as the pictures below.



Portrait Orientation
When rotating the IDS Display to portrait orientation, ensure that the Elo logo appears in the same location as the pictures below. The IO ports will be located at the bottom. 



Tabletop
When the IDS Display is used in tabletop application, support the IDS Display using the VESA mounting pattern on the rear to support the weight of the IDS Display. Additional support around the edge may also be added if desired to maintain flatness of the touch screen.


Cooling methods must be put in place to ensure that the air temperature beneath the monitor does not exceed the operating specifications. Refer to the Operating & Storage Conditions section for tabletop mode requirements.


Tilt Mode
The IDS Display can support a tilt of 15º.


Rear VESA Mount
A four-hole, 600x600mm and 400x400mm mounting pattern is provided on the rear of the IDS Display.
The VESA FDMI-compliant mounting are coded

Audio speaker mounting in portrait orientation (optional)
When the IDS display is mounted in portrait mode, relocate the top-right side speaker to the lower-left side to have better natural stereo performance. 


1. Remove the mounting screw of the speaker and slide the speaker downward to disengage the mounting hooks. Pull the speaker downward enough so the cable connector is exposed and disengage the connector.



2. Remove the mounting screw from the mounting cover on the top right of the IDS Display and slide the cover downward to disengage the mounting hooks. 



3. Install the speaker into the new location by connecting the speaker cable connector. Then insert the cable and connector through the hole and slide the speaker down from the top so both hooks are engaged with the slots in the back cover. Reinstall the mounting screw.



4. Install the cover removed in step 2 in the old speaker location by sliding it in so the hooks engage the slots in the back cover and then install the mounting screw.

The above mounting information is also found on pages 12-17 of the 5553L/6553L User's Manual.
