INSTALLING BASE MOUNT KIT (OPTIONAL)
When the FT-7715 series is ordered with the base mount upgrade kit like customer display PD-2603/2603U, PD-308/308U or PD-7623 option, the customer display together with the pole for installing them to rear of base will be delivered in separate package from the system unit. Please follow the step by step installation guides below with reference to the attached pictures. The customer display will occupy one USB or COM port in the connection area. Consult your distributor for technical support on setting up the +5V DC supply to the COM port used if the customer display is of the serial interface type, unless you have a standalone PD peripheral powered with 12V adaptor itself. The USB interface type such as PD-2603U or PD-308U will be powered through the USB port without specific setting by BIOS.
1. First open the back cover of FT system base by pushing in the circled buttons on both sides as in the right pictures and lift from bottom edge
Part 8
to remove the back
cover.
2. Remove the pole cover on rear edge of the base top cover of FT system by first removing the 2 arrowed screws in the left picture and then pushing the wedge shaped pole cover up.
3. Insert the base of base mount upgrade kit from top of FT system base with the flat side of the pole base facing the back cover direction and screw back the 2 screws as in the right picture. Connect the interface cable to appropriate port.
SIDE MOUNT UPGRADE KIT
When a side-mount upgrade kit option such as FA-200 is ordered with the FT-7715 system, this option is already installed in the delivery. No matter the kit itself contains MSR only, finger print sensor only or
both options, the connection to the FT-7715 system is through an internal cable in the right side cover of the LCD/touch unit. Remove the 2 circled screws in the left picture to remove the cover for side mount upgrade kit. Take out the cable inside this cover as circled in the left picture here and connect it to connector inside
the side mount upgrade kit as arrowed in the same picture. Gently arrange the excessive length of this cable back in the hole and screw-fit it back to the position originally occupied by the cover as in the right picture. Please reserve the cover if there is chance to have the side mount kit removed in the future.
AUDIO LINE OUT PORT
The audio output port is intended for BIOS POST sound and touch buzzer sound, either one can be set individually. So this port must be connected to a pair of speakers with built-in booster or amplifier only.
Part 9
CONNECTING CASH DRAWER (OPTIONAL)
The RJ11 connector in main connection area of a FT-7715 system can be used for controlling most of the common cash drawers with 12V signal available on the market. However, it is most recommended that the Posiflex CR-2000 or CR-2200 or CR-3100 or CR-3200 or CR-4000 or CR-4100 or CR­4210 or CR-6200 be used for best compliance.
The FT-7715 system will directly control the cash drawer using the cash drawer port (CR) both to operate the opening mechanism and to monitor the drawer open status. Both functions may be accomplished under software control of the COM1 serial port.
Use the cable supplied with the cash drawer (Part No. 21863018010) for connection to the CR port in FT-7715 system. This cable has a 6-pole plug at one end and an 8-pole plug at the other. The 8-pole plug should be inserted into the connector marked: “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of the cash drawer. The 6-pole plug should be inserted in the connector marked “CR” found in the main connection area in the system.
The user may also use the optional 2-in-1 cash drawer control cable CCBLA-238 to control 2 cash drawers in 1 port. It has a 6-pole plug at one end and two 8-pole plugs at the other. The 6-pole plug should be inserted in the connector marked “CR” found in the main connection area in the system. Each 8-pole plug should be inserted into the connector marked “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of one of the cash drawers. The cable lengths for the two 8-pole plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the original cash drawer “CR1” and use the longer one for the extended cash drawer “CR2” that will be distinguished by the software command.
CONNECTING INTERFACE CABLES
Please connect all required interface cables to the appropriate connectors. Please make sure that each connector is connected to the correct port with the correct orientation. Damages due to incorrect connection or orientation are not covered by product warranty!
Some connectors like the LAN or CR connector have to be gently inserted until a click is heard. Please note that the click lock spring has to be pressed down prior to pulling out the connector for later removal of the cables from these ports. It is recommended that connector such as the external VGA port be screwed into place once seated.
Connect the cables to appropriate external devices. Please make sure that each connector has to be connected to the right device in the right way.
CAUTION: While doing any insertion or extraction of any connector,
please always hold the connector head itself instead of pulling on the cable wire. Failure to do this could damage the cable and jack that is considered as an artificial destruction and is
Part 10
not covered by the warranty.
CONNECTING AC POWER
The PSU should indicate a full range within 90V to 240V. The power supply cable should first be connected to the power inlet (but NOT the wall socket). This cable should be consolidated with other cables and come out of the connection area through the bottom opening of the chassis.
OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY
For FT systems preloaded with Windows XP Pro or WEPOS on HDD, Posiflex provides recovery CD delivered with the touch terminal for the preloaded operating system. The System Integrator shall take care of software restoration after OS recovered. A Posiflex supplied USB interface CDROM drive will be required for such action. Other brand CDROM drive may require its specific driver different from what supported in the recovery CD.
Please use the recovery CD in rescue operation only. Using it
otherwise may wipe out whatever stored in the HDD! All upgrade devices
drivers needed for manual installation in usual way are available in the subfolder “\drivers” in OS recovered HDD and the latest versions of these required drivers will be available on our web: http://www.posiflex.com.tw. Then follow instructions from your system integrator for software recovery.
OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This product is a highly professionalized equipment. The installation of an OS into a machine without any preloaded OS could constitute major difficulty for average user or obstacle by possibly unintentional negligence even for PC veterans to accomplish such a task. Therefore, OS installation into a system without preloaded OS is highly discouraged. Posiflex shall not be responsible for any technical support to questions arisen due to non-preloaded OS.
Automatic Power on Control
FT-7715 provides 2 automatic power-on control options: Wake System with Fixed Time/ Wake Systems with Dynamic Time. The system may also turn on according to some preset conditions such as Wake on LAN and Alarm Clock Wake Up.

USING THE TOUCH TERMINAL
APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT
It is very important that you check the following operational
guidelines:
Ventilation
This terminal must NOT be operated in an environment with restricted ventilation. There must be at least 25 mm air clearance around any top or side ventilation holes with a free flow of air around the unit at ALL time for the installation.
Operating Environment
The equipment must not be operated or stored in extremes of both temperature and humidity/moisture. (Operating range 5°C to 40°C and up to 80% humidity – non condensing, max. wet bulb 26°C)
UPS Battery (option)
General care:
The UPS battery is consumable beyond product warranty. Please definitely observe the alerts in the beginning of this manual. If the equipment is to be powered off for more than few days, please always disconnect the battery from the system. Reconnect it and turn on the system to recharge the battery for 1 ~ 2 hours every 3 months for temperature lower than 30°C. Recharge for 1 ~ 2 hours every month for temperature over 30°C. Temperature above 40°C must be strictly avoided as it could cause termination of battery life and unexpected result even if the battery is not in work. The UPS battery can support basically the data preservation and smooth running of the system during intermittent or few minutes (within 30 min. depending on loading and battery condition) power failure.
Battery replacement:
In the preloaded OS for a FT system, there is a built-in utility Power Manager that will interface the UPS battery monitor status with user. When battery monitor disables the battery charging as designed while the UPS function of the system is originally enabled, in other words the UPS battery is found out of order if actually installed, there will be a popup message as the picture at right asking the user to agree disabling the UPS function. The system will operate under deactivated UPS function no matter agreed or not. However, the monitoring goes on and the popup message will come back on next system power up boot if not agreed. In any case, please replace the used up UPS battery at power off if the battery is well
Part 13
connected there but found inoperable by such messages.
Emergency treatment:
The battery is constructed maintenance free and leak proof. It is well protected in FT system as long as the ambient temperature remains below 30°C and the ventilation of the FT system remains free. However, should any accident happen and the sulfuric acid from the battery spills on skin or clothing, wash immediately with water. If the acid comes in contact with eyes, rinse eyes with large amount of clean water and see a doctor immediately. A larger external battery may be connected to give an extended operation. Please check your dealer about this capability when required.
WARNING:
If there are any signs of over charging or leakage of electrolyte please contact your dealer immediately
Power Supply
The operating voltage range of the power adaptor should cover the local power supply for proper operation. The power cable, the power outlet and any power fusing arrangements must conform to local safety regulations.
Please never do any connection / disconnection when system is still powered on. Please always keep the system in a free air circulation.
POWER ON/OFF
Power Indicator
The power indicator is the backlight LED module under the logo that serves for several purposes. The relationship between the indicator status and other conditions is summarized in the following table:
Indicator Status
System
Status
External
Power
UPS Battery Powering Up
Off Off Off Not present Not possible Off Off Off Present Not allowed
Green Off On No influence Allowed
Blue On On No influence Not required
Blue/flash On Off Activated Not required
Blue/rapid flash
On Off
Running at
low capacity
Not required
The LED module indicates Power/Stand By status. When it lights up in green, it means that the external AC power is standing by with the system powered off. It turns into blue when the system is powered up. This module also indicates the status of system working on battery power by flashing in
Part 14
blue. The blue light will flash rather fast when the UPS battery approaches a fully discharged condition to remind the operator that power will soon finish. In few seconds, the whole system will soon be automatically turned off and the LED module will be OFF. In case the AC power resumes during the usage of the battery power, the flashing LED will keep on flashing for few seconds before being steady till the AC supply is stable.
Power ON/OFF control
The FT-7715 system implements electronic power control, such that the main power to the system may be controlled by many methods as below:
1. Hardware power switch
2. Software OFF command
3. Emergency power OFF
Switching from OFF to ON requires a normal supply of the AC power.
4. Automatic power ON control
Hardware Power Switch
This button is located at top front corner of the right side of base unit as in the right picture and can be used to turn the system on and off alternatively. This hardware switch can also be programmed to be an ON only switch through software command so that when this switch is accidentally pressed during system turned on, the system just remains on and unaffected. When using this feature, please make sure that the software application has the ability to power off the machine. In preloaded Windows, “Posiflex Power Switch Manager” in “Posiflex Tools” in the Program Files helps managing these functions.
There must always be at least 10 seconds waiting before switching on again once the system is powered off successfully.
Software OFF Command
The system may also be shut down under software control. Please just follow the arrangement by your system integrator for this capability. The FT also provides a specific means for the software to detect if the system is working on external or UPS battery power. Due to this feature, compatible software applications have the ability to change operating conditions when running on standard/backup power. The software programmer may take reference from the FT technical manual to apply such features.
Emergency Power OFF
In case of serious system halt due to any reason, the system could fail to be powered off through normal means. Press and hold the Power ON/OFF Switch for Emergency Power Off. Release the switch after the system powered off. It will take about 4 seconds if the hardware switch is set to “ON/OFF” mode and it takes about 10 seconds if the hardware switch is set to “ON only”
Part 15
mode. If there appears to be some serious trouble for system restart or even this emergency power off, please disconnect the UPS battery if installed and the AC power supply for few minutes. This may allow all hardware registers to reset.
DISPLAY ISSUES
LCD / Touch Panel Tilt Adjust
Please find the rectangular plastic button at rear of the display base as enlarged in the right picture Push it down (from back of the panel towards the front side) to adjust the display up and down. Release the button when done. The panel will lock firmly for application.
LCD Panel Brightness Adjust
There are 2 LCD panel brightness control buttons on front side of base for digital control over the LCD panel brightness. A brief touch at the right / left button makes the LCD display brighter / dimmer by a minute amount. A holding touch makes continuous change till release.

For best viewing result please set your display resolution at 1024 x 768 with high color for FT-7715.
In configuration of 4GB system memory installed, max. 1.7 GB can be shared as the video memory under the preloaded 64-bit operating system condition.
VGA Port
The VGA port in the FT system supports Posiflex LCD monitor or touch monitor for 2nd display. This port supports either mirror mode (identical image) or extended mode dual display function for WinXP. To support the DC power to the stand alone Posiflex monitor, use the DC adaptor to connect into the monitor or use Posiflex VGA + power cable and set an internal jumper in FT main board to supply the required power through the VGA connector. Do
not connect other monitor to this port before the power in this port is disabled.
Part 16
Display Utility Driver
The end user of the FT-7715 terminals is not supposed to install the utility drivers personally. If an optional preloaded OS is ordered, the required driver will be already installed in the preloaded OS. However, the driver will always be available over our web site: http://www.posiflex.com
FRONT COVER & OTHER INDICATORS
At left part on the front side of base unit, there is a front cover. Pick it up at the bottom notch and the CFast memory card reader slot and a USB port for user’s convenience will be accessible. To place the front cover back please insert first the top edge and then push the bottom edge in.
In the area between the front cover and the LCD brightness adjust buttons, there are several LED indicators for status other than the power status which is done by the LED module under logo in bottom center of the LCD panel. The upper one of the 2 LED’s near the LCD brightness adjustment buttons indicates the operation status of the HDD.The LED nearest to the front cover indicates the LAN status. When it lights up in green, the onboard LAN chip is linked. When it flashes in yellow, data transmission in LAN is in process. The LAN status indication is also observable on the LAN connector in back cover area.
SERIAL PORTS – COM1/2/3/4/5/6
In FT system, there are 6 standard RS232 serial ports available. These serial ports can supply +5 V or +12V DC after proper BIOS setup (for +5V DC) and jumper settings (for +12V DC) to support Posiflex POS peripheral devices.
CUSTOMER DISPLAY
Please follow the instructions on the manual that comes along with the customer display when it is installed.
SERVICE WINDOW
On the connector area of the main unit, there is a service window for more technical settings. Please note that only those qualified technicians may adjust in the service window but not for average user.
TOUCH FUNTION
Mouse Emulation
The touch panel in FT system uses USB interface as standard. Only the optional InfraRed type touch panel of FT-7715 uses USB interface. When
Part 17
T31454
the touch driver is properly installed, this touch panel works exactly like a standard mouse for both interfaces. However, if the system is running under safe mode, most drivers are disabled in this mode and the touch panel calibration is therefore not guaranteed. It is recommended to use a standard USB mouse or keyboard in this mode.
All the below mentioned mouse emulation functions can be manipulated through relevant software. The system can give a beep and a click on the left button of a mouse at the point when the touch panel is touched. If the point touched is dragged across the screen surface, it works as the mouse drag and drop feature. If the point is touched, released and touched within a short time interval, it is double-clicking left button of the mouse. To obtain the effect like clicking on the right button of a mouse, you have to use the “right­click sticky button tool” for USB touch or you have to go into the controller for IR touch.
Posiflex USB Touch Manager
A program named “Posiflex USB Touch Manager” and a right-click sticky button tool in the program group “Posiflex USB Touch Tools” is installed in the preloaded Windows system with a USB interface touch panel controller. This program can also be obtained by downloading from the POSIFLEX web site.
