1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: AFL3-12A/W15A-BT Flat Bezel Panel PC
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT Panel PC
The AFL3-12A/W15A-BT series is a quad-core Intel® Celeron® processor J1900 powered
flat bezel panel PC with a rich variety of functions and peripherals. The flat-bezel design is
ideal for easy and simplified integration into various applications.
The Intel® Celeron® J1900 is a SoC (System-on-Chip) that ensures optimal memory,
graphics, and peripheral I/O support. The system comes with 2.0 GB of DDR3L SO-DIMM
memory ensuring smooth data throughputs with reduced bottlenecks and fast system
access.
Two serial ports, two external USB 3.0 ports and two external USB 2.0 ports ensure
simplified connectivity to a variety of external peripheral devices. Wi-Fi capabilities and
two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors provide the system with smooth connection to an external
LAN.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT may result in permanent damage to the
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT is accessed internally, or any
other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
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 AFL3-12A/W15A-BT, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT.
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 17
Page 32
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the flat bezel panel PC,
to configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground
themselves first and wear an anti-static wristband.
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT Panel PC
3.3 Installation and Configuration Steps
The following installation steps must be followed.
Step 1: Unpack the flat bezel panel PC.
Step 2: Install an mSATA module or a HDD.
Step 3: Configure the system.
Step 4: Connect peripheral devices to the flat bezel panel PC.
Step 5: Mount the flat bezel panel PC. Step 0:
3.4 Removing the Back Cover
To access the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT internally the back cover must be removed. To remove
the back cover, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Remove the retention screws from the back cover. Two types of screw are used
for securing the back cover. See the following diagrams for detail. Be aware of
this for reinstalling the back cover.

3.9 Clear CMOS
If the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS
jumper clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, push
the clear CMOS button for three seconds, then restart the system. The clear CMOS button
location is shown in Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12: Clear CMOS Button Location
3.10 AT/ATX Mode Selection
AT or ATX power mode can be used on the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT. The selection is made
through an AT/ATX switch located on the bottom panel (Figure 3-13).
Figure 3-13: AT/ATX Switch Location
3.10.1 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFL3-12A/W15A-BT 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:

Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
3.10.2 ATX Power Mode
With the ATX mode selected, the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT panel PC goes in a standby mode
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

3.11 COM1 Connection
The COM1 port is a RJ-45 serial device connector on the bottom panel. The COM1 port
connects to a cable with a standard D-sub 9 connector at the other end (cables included).
Follow the steps below to connect a serial device to the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT panel PC.
Step 1: Locate the RJ-45 connector. The location of the RJ-45 serial port connector is
shown in Chapter 1. The RJ-45 connector for the serial port can be identified
easily as the RJ-45 for the network has two LEDs on the port, while the
connector for the serial cable don’t.
Step 2: Insert the RJ-45 to D-sub 9 cable. See Figure 3-14.

5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT fail they must be replaced. Please contact
the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back cover removal
instructions for the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT may result in permanent damage to the
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT and severe injury to the user.
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT Panel PC
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-12A/W15A-BT is accessed internally, or any
other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
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 AFL3-12A/W15A-BT, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-12A/W15A-BT.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
