Powering on/off the MPC-2150

To power on the panel computer you may either connect power by connecting the Terminal Block to Power Jack Converter to the terminal block and then connect a power adapter, or you may connect the computer to an AC power source using the power cord. After the power source is connected, touch the Menu button to turn the computer on. It takes about 10 to 30 seconds for the system to boot up.
To power off the MPC-2150 Series, touch the MENU button for 4 seconds ; depending on your OS’s power management settings you may enter standby, hibernation, or system shutdown mode. If you encounter technical problems, touch and hold the MENU button for 10 seconds to force a hard shutdown of the system.
Grounding the MPC-2150 Series
Proper grounding and wire routing help to limit the effects of noise from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connect ion from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power source.
