ESD Precautions
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To
avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
• Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
• Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
• Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling boards and components.

Safety Instructions
Overview
This section states the safety instructions, which must be followed when installing,
operating and servicing the FPC-8057. If neglected, physical injury and death may
follow, or damage may occur to controller and related equipment. The material in
this chapter must be studied before attempting any work on, or with, the unit.
Warnings and Notes
This manual distinguishes safety instructions. Warnings are used to inform of
conditions, which can, if proper steps are not taken, lead to a serious fault
condition, physical injury or death. Notes are used when the reader is required to
pay special attention or when there is additional information available on the
subject. Notes are less crucial than warnings, but should not be disregarded.
Readers are informed of situations that can result in serious
physical injury and/or serious damage to equipment with the
symbol shown to the left. A Warning symbol indicates that the
reader should pay special attention to the accompanying text.
Precautionary steps should be taken to insure that the
installation is in compliance with warnings. Warnings include

Introduction
1.1 General Description
The FPC-8057 series are fan-less and compact-size touch panel
computers. It equips with 5.7” STN LCD display, Windows CE.NET and
low power consumption CPU, Intel Xscale PXA255. Therefore, FPC-
8057 series are good cost-effective choices for operator interface
applications.
The FPC-8057 adopts most reliable and stable design. With fan-less CPU
and CompactFlash card, FPC-8057 is especially suitable for vibration
environment such as transportation, semiconductor etc. In addition, FPC-
8057 is also bundled with Windows CE.NET, which forms a bridge that lets
FPC-8057 be an open HMI solution for system integration. For connecting
other devices, the FPC-8057 also provides several interfaces: RS-
232/422/485, Ethernet etc.

Installation Instructions
2.1 Mounting Instructions
2.1.1 Location Considerations
Care should be taken when locating equipment behind the unit to ensure
that AC power wiring, PLC output modules, contactors, starters and relays,
and any other source of electrical interference are located away from the
back of the unit.
Particular note should be taken to the position of variable speed drives and
switching power supplies. Their input and load cables should be screened
to a central star earth point.
2.1.2 Making a NEMA-4 Mounting
The unit can be mounted into panels with a depth of
4”(105mm). It is recommended that the unit be mounted

on the front panel of a steel enclosure, through an
appropriate opening*. Allow a clearance of 1”(25mm)
around the sides of the unit for mounting hardware. Allow
clearance for cable connections to the back of the unit. Unit
depth may vary according to cable type used. Typically,
plan a depth to accommodate at least 4”(105mm) behind
the panel.
Put the unit through the panel cut out. Slide the clamps
into the 6 holes provided around the case. Tighten the
clamping screws in an even pattern until

the unit is secured in the panel. Caution!
Do not over tighten mounting clamps!
Note: Specifications Note:
To seal to NEMA-4 specifications, all supplied mounting
clamps must be used and panel cannot flex more than
0.010”.

2.1.3 Environmental Considerations
z The FPC-8057 are to be used indoors as built in displays. Make sure
that the displays are installed correctly and that the operating limits are
followed (See Specifications).
z Do not operate the unit in areas subject to explosion hazards due to
flammable gases, vapors or dusts.
z The unit should not be installed where fast temperature variations and/or
high humidity are present. This will cause condensation of water in
the device.
z Do not install these terminals in environments where have
inflammable gases.

2.2 Power Connections
Make sure that all local and national electrical standards are met when the
installing the unit. Contact your local authorities to determine which codes
apply.
Installation Instructions 8
2.2.1 Power Requirements
The FPC-8057 can be powered by DC power only. The
Power
specified voltage range is +21 to 25 Volts DC. This
insures compatibility with most controller DC systems. The
power conditioning circuitry inside the unit is accomplished
by a switching power supply. The peak starting current can
be as high as 700mA.
If the display does not come on within 2 seconds of
power up, remove power. An internal fuse will prevent

If wiring is to be exposed to lightning or surges, use
appropriate surge suppression devices.
Keep AC, high energy, and rapidly switching DC
wiring separate from signal wires.
Equip ungrounded DC supplies with a resistor and
capacitor in parallel to earth ground. This provides a path
for static and high frequency dissipation. Typical values to
use are 1MOhm and 4700pF.
