3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL3-W15B-H81 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL3-W15B-H81 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-W15B-H81. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W15B-H81 is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the AFL3-W15B-H81, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-W15B-H81.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the flat bezel panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the flat bezel panel PC, make sure the
power is off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body
and/or damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Page 18
3.11.1 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFL3-W15B-H81 panel PC turns on automatically when the power is
connected. The AT mode benefits a production line to control multiple panel PCs from a
central management center and other applications including:
ATM
Self-service kiosk
Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
3.11.2 ATX Power Mode
With the ATX mode selected, the AFL3-W15B-H81 panel PC goes in a standby mode
AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC
when it is turned off. The panel PC can be easily turned on via network or a power switch
in standby mode. Remote power control is perfect for advertising applications since the
broadcasting time for each panel PC can be set individually and controlled remotely. Other
possible application includes
Security surveillance
Point-of-Sale (POS)
Advertising terminal
