4. General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment
Please read this chapter carefully and observe the instructions for your own safety and to ensure
correct use of the device.
The chapter also contains information on approval and interference suppression of your device.
The device has been built and tested by Kontron in accordance with EN 60950-1 and left the
premises in a perfectly safe condition.
In order to maintain the safe condition and ensure safe operation, the user must observe the
instructions and warnings on the device and in the manual.
The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
The electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of the local
(country-specific) regulations.
Take care that there are no cables, particularly power cables, in areas where persons can trip
over them.
Do not use a power cable in sockets shared by a number of other power consumers. Do not
use an extension cable.
The unit is only completely disconnected from the electrical power source when the electrical
power cord is disconnected either from the power source or the unit. Therefore, the electrical
power cord and its connectors must always remain easily accessible.
The system is not completely disconnected from the mains power supply by turning off via the
power button. When the system is turned off via the power switch, there a standby-voltage of
5 V remains on the baseboard.
For DC power connection:
The DC power source should be able to be switched off and on via an isolating switch. The unit
is only completely disconnected from the DC main power source, when the DC power cord is
disconnected either from the power source or the unit. Therefore, the DC power cord and its
connectors must always remain easily accessible.
For AC power connection:
The AC power cord is considered the mains disconnect for the device and must be readily
accessible when installed. If the individual power cord will not be readily accessible for
disconnection then you must install an AC power disconnect for the device. This main
disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the
device.
Do not place the device in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in a damp place. Make sure the
device has adequate ventilation.
Only devices and components which fulfill the requirements of an SELV circuit (safety extra low
voltage) in accordance with EN60950-1 may be connected to the interfaces of the system.

OmniClient –User’s Guide (V1.02)
All plugs on the connection cables must be screwed or locked to the housing.
The device is designed to be mounted and operated only in the position described in this
document. The proper mounting is a vertical position with the interfaces downwards.
This device generates heat during operation. Make sure it is adequately ventilated. Do not
cover the air intake and exhaust openings of the device.
Repairs may only be carried out by a person authorized by Kontron.
Maintenance or repair on the open device may only be done by qualified personnel authorized
by Kontron, who is aware of the associated dangers.
The device may only be opened in accordance with the description in this user’s guide for the
following:
Replacing the Lithium battery
Installing the PCIe board
Configuration of the RS232/RS422/RS485 interface
These procedures have to be carried-out only by qualified specialist personnel.
When accessing internal components the device must be switched off and disconnected from
the power source.
Only approved original accessories (optional parts) approved by Kontron may be used.
The DC-input must fulfill SELV requirements of EN60950-1 standard.
Safe operation is no longer possible when:
o the device has visible damage
o the device no longer functions
In these cases the device must be shut down and secured against unintentional operation.

4.1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Therefore proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to
prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in ESD-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe
workplace.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.
4.1.1. Grounding Methods
By adhering to the guidelines below, electrostatic damage to the device can be avoided:
1. Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected
to workplace. Always use properly grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3. Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting
test equipment.
6. Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids
and Styrofoam.
7. Use only field service tools which are conductive, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and
vacuum cleaners.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

7. Product Description
Before you begin using your OmniClient system, you should take a few minutes to learn about the
various ports, bays, connectors and indicators that are part of your OmniClient system.
The OmniClient is a Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) system designed for demanding industrial
applications. The OmniClient integrates a workstation system with an integrated touch screen
display. The system is designed to be mounted in the user’s application by either of the following
methods:
Installation in an instrument panel or other cabinets (preferred mounting method)
Installation by a heavy duty VESA® 100 compliant mounting system
The OmniClient system is very flexible and can be customized to meet the requirements of many
demanding applications. The rugged design offers excellent mechanical stability suitable for
operation in harsh industrial environments.
Two components comprise an OmniClient system: The touch monitor and computer base. The
touch monitor base includes a display and touch screen. The computer base provides the
computer board and power supply for the system. The connection between these two
components is standardized and can be swapped between various touch monitor bases and
computer bases of different sizes and types. This provides a very adaptable framework to
configure a system that meets the requirements of many different applications.
The following sections detail each of these components and their function in the OmniClient
system.
