The following applies for the products described in this documentation:
EMV-directivesDirect current –DC supply
The appliances running on DC supply comply with the EC-directive „89/
336/EEC electromagnetic compatibility“ and are according to the CEmarking designed for following applications:
ApplicationStandard
Emitted interferenceinterference resistant
industrialEN 61000-6-4: 2001EN 61000-6-2: 2001
low voltage directive 230VThe appliances running on AC supply comply with the EC-directive 73/
23/EEC, low voltage directive. Compliance with this standard was tested
in accordance with EN 60950.
Declaration of conformityThe EC- declaration of conformity and the associated documentation
and are kept at the disposal of the responsible authorities. Your distribution
agent can make these available on demand.
Assembly directivesPlease note the assembly directives and safety instructions mentioned
The EPC X-series is suitable for the visualization of process data of
simple to moderate complexity. Due to the process architecture used
(Intel XScale) the machines produce less failures and are suitable for
higher temperatures than normal x86 systems, and additionally, they
combine this factor with lower machine costs.
The appliances were developed to be used in connection with the operating
systems Windows CE, LINUX, and VxWorks. Via the 2 USB interface, a
connection of external keyboards, mice, USB-sticks, or of certain printers
is possible. Via the integrated Ethernet-intersection, the appliances can
easily either be embedded in existing computer networks, or be used as
Web-panels
In connection with the (optional) visualizing software WOP-iT, or zenOn
CE, and the bus module option, the appliances can be used to visualize
SPS-data provided by different manufacturers.
The series includes the versions EPC X 550tm, EPC X 550tc, EPC X
640tc, EPC X 840tc, and EPC 1000tc.

Please check the distribution supply according to the type plate.
When wiring the voltage supply, and the a.c. voltage, please observe the
information on the type plate.
Please check all cable connections before operating the appliance.

In order to guarantee a safe derivation of electrical interferences, please
observe the following points:
•Please choose the shortest possible way to connect the appliance
and the switch cupboard to a central earthing point.
•Please pay attention to choose the connection with the lowest
possible induction between the appliance and the switch cupboard.
•All data-cables connected to the appliance have to be equipped with
closed lines.
•Please earth the screens on both sides. The connection between
the connected systems has to be of low impedance. Please eliminate
the transfer of high compensating currents via the conducting screen
due to differences of potential.
•Please earth the appliance with a green and yellow cable with a
cross-section of at least 4 mm².
2.3Installation
InstallationThe appliance has to be installed into a HF-tight casket or switch cupboard
made of metal.
Please make sure that sufficient air can circulate. Please provide a space
for circulating air of 100 mm around the appliance, so that the heat
produced in the appliance can vanish into the surroundings!
When installing or dismantling the appliance, it must be stressfree.
When assembling the appliance in the casket, please do only use the
parts supplied with the appliance. Both kind and number of the assembly
parts depend on the appliance (cf. ratings).
Caution!
Damages at the appliance are possible!
The front protection IP65 is only guaranteed if the seal is attached correctly
to the front plate.

External USB-appliances needing a higher current supply must provide
it by themselves!
Lauer EPC X appliances only need minimal maintenance and attendance.
Nevertheless, please observe the following information:
Changing the batteriesThe appliance is equipped with an integrated lithium battery to buffer the
data of both the real-time clock, and the integrated SRAM storage.
Type of battery:CR2032, 3V/230mAh
Manufacturer:Varta, type 6032
Buffer current:2µA typ / 15 µA max
Control of battery voltage:yes (functionality depends on the software)
Lasting of battery (typ.):5 years
The lasting of the battery always depends on the ambiance conditions
(working temperature, connecting/disconnecting time, air moisture). The
indicated lasting is based on the fact that the appliance is switched on
regularly (several days per week, resp. at least 1 500 hours per year.
The battery may only be changed by trained experts. Please observe the
ESD protection measures. We recommend to always have the battery
changed by „Elektronik-Systeme LAUER GmbH & Co. KG.“
Please switch off the appliance’s tension before changing the battery.
Before changing the batteries, the EPCX 550-appliances have to be
removed from the switch cupboard’s casket. Afterwards, you must loosen
the four flange-head screws (hexagon socket screw, 2.0 mm).
The appliances EPCX 640 to EPCX 1000 need not necessarily be
removed from the switch cupboard. In their case, it suffices to loosen the
screws at the rear sheet metal (hexagon socket screw, size 2.0), and to
tilt the rear sheet metal downwards. Please hold the rear sheet metal
approximately horizontally with one hand.
Please use a plastic part (e.g. Touch pen) to press the battery’s contact
spring backwards until the battery springs out of the holding device.
Remove the battery. Insert the new battery into the battery tray, and lock
it. While doing so, the battery’s positive pole must show upwards,
respectively be visible!!
Caution!
When the battery is changed, the data in the SRAM-dump and in the
real-time clock get lost.
T-14
NO manipulations at the appliance are permitted during the period of
liability for defects!
Caution!
Do not short-out the battery contacts! Explosion hasard! Always replace
the battery by the same type from the same manufacturer!
Lithium batteries are hazardous waste. Please dispose of used batteries
according to the respective national regulations!
Changing the display tubesWe recommend to have the display tubes changed by „Systeme Lauer.“
With respect to the tubes’ service lives, please refer to the ratings.
Display tubes contain traces of mercury, and are hazardous waste. They
are to be disposed of according to the respective national regulations!
CleaningPlease do always use mild detergents (e.g. neutral soap solution or diluted
washing-up liquid). Please do always use a soft, clean cloth to clean the
appliance.
Caution!
Please, do not use any detergents containing abrasive substances (e.g.
scouring powder or cleansing milk. They can either spoil the readability
of the representation on the display, or they can damage the touch screen!
Please, do not use any acetone or petroleum ether!
How to operate the touch screenThe touch screen may only be operated by hand, or with especially
designed touch-pens. When using pointed metal parts (e.g. screw drivers)
can damage the touch screen!
