3. Stick the dust-proof strips close to the internal opening edge. Leave at least 1mm between the
edge and the strip as it will expand as it is being compressed by the frame of the panel PC.
4. Take the panel PC out of the box and remove the protecting plastic bag. Leave the protecting
film stuck to the front glass to prevent it from being damaged during installation.
5. Screw two brackets in the opposite sides. Leave them loose so when fixing the equipment onto
the structure they can be adjusted.
6. Fix the brackets to the structure using screws if the support has threaded holes or nuts or using
nuts if the structure elements have screws attached to it. As the panel PC is quite heavy it is
recommended at least to persons to perform this operation.
7. Adjust the panel PC back and forward against the wall and when there is no gap between it and
the panel PC screw the brackets tight to the panel PC.
Connect the cables
1. The panel PC has a dedicated connector for remote on/off switch function. This is used in
applications where the panel PC is installed in such a way that the conventional on/off switch is not
accessible. The remote cable is not supplied as each application require a special one.
In order to make this cable you will need:
–
standard 1-pole push-switch normally open
–
two wire cable if they are twisted and/or shielded you will get better result in noisy enviroments
–
3.5mm stereo jack plug
The pole number 1 of the stereo connector will be left unsoldered or it will be soldered to the cable
shield. Pole 2 and 3 will be soldered to the two cables wires and the other end of these wires will be
soldered to the 2 poles of the switch. Once connected this cable to the panel PC, pressing this button
will have the same effect that pressing the on-chassis switch.
The maximum length of the cable is determined by the type of cable and the noisy the environment
is. Twisted and shielded cables are more immune to noise while single wires could act as an antenna
picking up noise that could have ans unexpected effect.
8. Connect communication cables if required (Ethernet, serial, parallel and USB).
9. Connect the power cord to the panel PC and to the AC power supply. Please notice that it is
recommended to install a protection switch between the panel PC and the main AC power
supply.
Install the operating system
Except in customized cases the hard disk drive will contain a copy of freeware software
(OpenSUSE) which has been used to verify all devices of the Panel PC. In order to install any operating
system it is necessary to boot the panel PC with a bootable USB drive (pendrive, USB HDD, etc)
