Take the following p recautions when handling this board.

- This display is made of the precise electric parts, so do not use or
store it in the vicinity of impulse or vibration.

- This product is not intended for use in aerospace, space, nuclear
power, medical equipment, or other applications that require a
very high level of reliability. Do not use the product in such
applications.

- If you utilize this product in such usages where high reliability
and safety are required as on the trains, vessels, automotives or
crime- or disaster-prevention devices, contact your retailer.

- Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely
high or low temperature or susceptible to rapid temperature
changes.

Example: - Exposure to direct sun

- In the vicinity of a heat source

- Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations.

- Do not perform key operations with the touch panel to implement
a process that might endanger life or result in serious damages.
Design a system that can cope with incorrect key input operations.

- Do not use a sharp-edged object, such as a mechanical pencil, to
operate the touch panel in order to prevent scratching or
malfunctions.

- Protect the touch panel against shock to prevent damage.

- CONTEC is not liable for a product that has been modified by the

possible. If you connect any other power supply unit, be sure to
select the one that satisfies the voltage and current capacity
standards.

- Never supply power to the power supp l y co nn ector an d the AC
adapter jack at the same time as it can cause a fault.

- When the surface or frame of the touch panel has become dirty,
wipe it with neutral detergent. Do not wipe the touch panel with
thinner, alcohol, ammonia, or a strong chlorinated solvent.

Use environment

This product operates under the following operating systems:
Windows XP/2000/NT 4.0/98SE/95OSR2, MS-DOS 6.2
* The touch panel US B interface is only supported on Windows

XP/2000/98SE.

Life expectancy of components

(1) Backlight--- Display brightness decreases over time with use.

The operating lifetime of the backlight is as
follows. (The time until the brightness is lowered
to 50% of the initial value. , Assuming
continuous operation at 25 degrees centigrade.)

- IPC-DT/M20V(PC)T : 50,000 hours

- IPC-DT/L20S(PC)T : 50,000 hours

- IPC-DT/H20X(PC)T : 25,000 hours

(2) Touch panel--- The operating lifetime of the touch panel is at

least 1 million touches (as tested by mechanical
touching under 300g of force at a rate of two
presses per second).

* CONTEC accepts your request for replacing each consumable in

the PANECON-PC as a request for repair (at an additional cost).
Contact your local retailer or CONTEC sales office.

LCD Display Pixel Drop

LCD display may have some pixels being dropped (bright and
black spots) below a certain threshold. Note that this is not a
failure or a defect.

Burn-in on TFT Display

"Burn-in" may occur if the same display is retained for a long
time. Avoid this by periodically switching the display so that
the same display is not maintained for a long time.

* Burn-In: Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a
result of long-time display of the same screen where a shadow­like trace persists because electric charge remains in the LCD
element even after the patterns ar e ch ang ed .

- Touch panel driver software is required to use the touch panel.
Purchase optional driver software [IPC-SLIB-01 for win dows]
or download one from the CONTEC’s web site
(http://www.contec.co.jp/download/).

- The USB touch panel driver software requires V1.20 or later of

- The USB connection can only be used on Windows XP, 2000, or
98SE. Connect via the RS-232C interface if using a different
OS.

- Use either USB or RS-232C for connecting the touch panel.
The touch panel cannot be connected via both interfaces at the

- When using the USB connection, the screen image may
disappear momentarily when the USB cable is connected or

6. Power Supply Connection

This equipment requires power supply at +12 VDC to operate.
For power supply, it has the power connector and the AC adapter
jack.

Notes!

- Connect a power supply to either of the power connector and
adapter jack. Never supply power to both of them at the same
time as it can cause a fault.

- If you connect a power supply other than the option, be sure to
take safety measures for the power supply, such as overvoltage
protection. Use meticulous care not to mistake the connection
polarity or voltage of the power supply as it may break the
equipment, the power supply, or both.

Power Supply Connector

The AC power supply unit [IPC-POA200/12-01] available as an
option can be connected.
You connect a power supply other than the option, be sure to use the
