FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a
Class-A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measurers:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with
emission limits.

iv
Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. The PANEL PC 1000 does not come equipped with an
operating system. An operating system must be loaded
first before installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist
strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are
sensitive to static electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the PANEL PC 1000
before making any installation. Be sure both the system
and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge
of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the
PANEL PC 1000 is properly grounded.
4. The brightness of the flat panel display decreases with
usage. However, hours of use vary depending on the
application environment.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the
system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
directly onto the screen. The PANEL PC 1000 may come
with or w/o a touch screen. Although the touch screen is
chemical resistant, it is recommended that you spray the
liquid cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen. In
case your system comes without the touch screen, you
must follow the same procedure and not spray any
cleaner on the flat panel directly.
6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touch screen.
Scratches on the touch screen may cause malfunction
or internal failure to the touch screen.
7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or
vibration. When assembling the PANEL PC 1000, make
sure it is securely installed.

v
8. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the
cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained
technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on
computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To
avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
#"
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on
your body.
#"
When handling boards and components, wear a
wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.

1.1 General Description
The PANEL PC 1000 super slim industrial PANEL PCs are mainly
designed for industrial automation and some space-constricted
embedded applications. For some space-concerned industries, a
traditional PC with a separate main system, display monitor and
keyboard is simply not integrated enough.
Ruggedly designed, the PANEL PC 1000 is 100% IBM PC/AT
compatible and it integrates super I/Os, VGA, 10.4” TFT, touch screen,
Ethernet, and packs special industrial features like watchdog timer,
CMOS double backup, all in a single system. The full PC
functionality coupled with its industrial-grade construction easily tailors
the system for any embedded applications and allows the system to
endure continuous operation in any hostile industrial environments
where stability and reliability are a must. Common applications of the
PANEL PC 1000 include tooling machine, POI terminal, stand-alone
KIOSK, medical instrument, mobile communication device and
banking system - to name just a few.
Designed by the PC experts for PC professionals, the PANEL PC
1000 is virtually the ultimate one-step solution for your space-limited
applications.
