Safety Precautions

Be fo re g et ti ng s ta rt ed, re ad t he f ol lowi ng i mp orta nt c au ti ons.

1. The PC 2120 series does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer.

2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the PC 2120 series before making any installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the PC 2120 series is properly grounded.

4. The brightness of the flat panel display decreases with usage. However, hours of use vary depending on the application environment.

5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen. The PC 2120 series may come with or w/o a touchscreen. Although the touchscreen is chemical resistant, it is recommended that you spray the liquid cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen. In case your system comes without the touchscreen, you must follow the same procedure and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel directly.

6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touchscreen. Scratches on the touchscreen may cause malfunction or internal failure to the touchscreen.

7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration. When assembling the PC 2120 series, make sure it is securely installed.

8. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.

When handling boards and components, wear a

wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores.

1.1 General Description

The PC 2120 series super slim industrial panel PCs are mainly designed for industrial automation and some space-constricted embedded applications. For some space-concerned industries, a traditional PC with a separate main system, display monitor and keyboard is simply not integrated enough.

Ruggedly designed, the PC 2120 series is 100% IBM PC/AT compatible and it integrates super I/Os, 12.1” TFT touch screen, Ethernet, and packs special industrial features like watchdog timer all in a single system. The full PC functionality coupled with its industrial-grade construction easily tailors the system for any embedded applications -- allowing the system to endure continuous operation in any hostile industrial environments where stability and reliability is a must.

The PC 2120 series feature a versatile stand suited for a wide variety of applications. W ith the pedestal kit assembled to the main unit, both can transform into different positions such as desktop free standing, 30° table standing, panel mount and wall mounting. Its cable management device also trims the operation environment. The NEMA 4/12 water/dust-proof front panel is specially designed for the continuous operation in outdoor environments. Common applications of these PANEL PCs include POS, POI terminals, Hospitality.
