Time To Upgrade Your Fadal CNC Display: The ELE-0190-ITS LCD Kit Explained
If you're still squinting at that old green CRT display on your Fadal CNC machine, it's time for an upgrade that'll make your business life easier. The Fadal LCD Display, 12.1" CNC88(HS), BNC, with Bezel & Remote ELE-0190-ITS is like giving your machine a high-definition makeover - and I'll walk you through exactly why it's worth the switch.
What's in the Box?
When you get this kit, you'll find:
- A crisp 12.1" LCD screen (way better than your old 10" or that ancient CRT)
- Heavy-duty bezel with tempered glass protection
- Convenient remote control (with batteries included)
- All necessary mounting hardware
- Both BNC and VGA connection options

Why This Upgrade Makes Sense
1. Crystal Clear Visibility
No more guessing at blurry tool paths or straining to read coordinates. The anti-glare screen means you can actually see what you're doing, whether you've got shop lights glaring or sunlight coming through windows.
2. Simplified Installation
Remember wrestling with those old mounting trays? This model eliminates that hassle completely. Four screws and you're done - it's that simple. We've had customers install these during lunch breaks.
3. Built Like a Tank
The powder-coated metal casing isn't just for looks - it stands up to daily shop abuse better than plastic housings. That tempered glass? It's saved more than a few displays from wayward tools.
4. Remote Control Convenience
Adjust brightness or input sources without leaving your workpiece. Pro tip: Keep the remote in a plastic bag to protect it from coolant splashes.
Installation Made Simple
For CNC88 Models:
- Pop out your old display
- Secure the new one with four screws (front-mount)
- Connect the BNC cable and power
- Power up and enjoy
For CNC88HS Models:
Same process, but you'll mount from the back instead. The kit includes different hardware for each version.
