Product Warranty (2 years)

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod­ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal­lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.

Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test­ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man­ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war­ranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 General Information

This chapter gives the background information about the TPC-1070.

1.1 Introduction

The TPC-1070 touch panel computer is state-of-the-art HMI (Human
Machine Interface). This 10.4” display operator interface is an x86-based
platform with these key features:

Fanless:

By using a low power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans,
which often are unreliable, and causes dust to circulate inside the equip­ment.

Bright Display:
The bright TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.

Powerful Communication Capability:

The TPC-1070 provides powerful IO interface for easily communicating
with other devices. The IO interface includes serial ports, RS-485 port,
parallel port, Ethernet and USB 2.0 support.

Embedded Windows Support:

In addition to the OS support of Windows 2000 and Windows XP,
Advantech offers platform support for Windows CE and XP embedded.

1.7 Panel Mounting

1. There is a piece of adhesive waterproof gasket on the Mg-AL

front bezel. Make sure the waterproof gasket is in position
before installing the TPC-1070 to the panel opening.

2. Install the TPC-1070 to the panel opening.

3. Find out the eight clampers and eight long screws in the

accessory pack. Hook those clampers to those holes around the
four sides of the bezel. Insert the screws to every clamper and
fasten them. These screws will then push on the mounting panel
and fix the unit.

4. The mounting panel thickness is suggested to be less than 10mm

(0.236 inch).

Chapter 2 System Setup

This chapter provides a brief explanation for operating the TPC-1070. It
is easy to make the TPC-1070 start working with the below step-by-step.

Step 1: Unpack the TPC-1070 package. Please check the packing list at
the beginning of this manual.

Step 2: Install a CompactFlash containing windows CE, embedded Win­dows XP or other operating system.

Figure 2.1: Install CompactFlash memory card

Warning It is suggested to turn OFF system power as plug in

or pull out the memory card, though the Compact­Flash memory is supposed to be hot swappable.

Step 3: Connect the power connector to the 24VDC power lines. The
power lines can either be of some power adapter or in-house power
source.
