SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 Prior to installing, moving, and modifying the panel PC, make sure the power
is turned off and the power cord is disconnected.
2 Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing
so will cause fire or an electrical shock.
3 Electric shocks can occur if the panel is opened. Do not drop or insert any
objects into the ventilation openings of the panel PC.
4 Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are
allowed to make necessary functional modifications to the panel PC, e.g.,
adding a touch screen. ACNODES offers the customization service on a
pre-order basis.
5 For installations related to human safety, connect a separately installed
mechanical switch instead of the panel PC’s power switch.
6 Designs with stand-alone and fault-tolerant hardware considerations should
be implemented using the series models as a critical alarm or production line
control.
7 If considerable amount of dust, water, or fluids entered the panel PC, turn off
the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the MPC
industrial panel PC vendor.
8 Explosions may occur with installations in environments where flammable
gases are present.
9 Fault-tolerant and failsafe designs should be implemented with the use of the
series models on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security devices, or
medical devices not related to life-support functions. Users/integrators
should take the responsibility for implementations with adequate levels of
reliability and safety.
10 Preventive designs should be implemented so as to avoid the
communications faults between the panel PC and the
PC/workstation/terminals that controls it.
FURTHER PANEL PC PRECAUTIONS
1 Do not drop the panel PC against a hard surface. Doing so will damage the
display.
2 Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the touch panel.
3 Touching the touch panel using a sharp object will damage the LCD panel.
4 Avoid environments exposed to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical vapors.

PC 5170 Flat Panel PC
5 The panel PC is actively cooled. In no circumstances should the panel PC
operate with the openings obstructed by foreign objects. However, the
ambient temperature of the installation site should be observed and controlled
to avoid overheating the panel PC.
6 Condensation might form inside the panel PC chassis if exposed to sudden
changes in temperature.
7 Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
8 If the equipment should be left unused for an extended period of time,
disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient
over-voltage.
9 If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service
personnel:
o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
o The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
o The equipment does not work properly, or cannot be made to work
according to the user manual.
o The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
o The equipment shows obvious signs of breakage.
WARNING!
Any changes or modifications made to the equipment that are not
expressly approved by the relevant standards could void the authority to
operate the equipment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE
Maintenance and Cleaning
Note the following precautions before starting to clean the panel PC.
When cleaning any single part or component of the computer, please read and understand
the details below fully.
Page 4 ACNODES®Corp.

PC 5170 Flat Panel PC
1 Except for the properly installed front LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids
directly onto any computer component. If the device needs to be cleaned,
please rub it with a piece of dry and soft cloth or a slightly moistened cloth with
the exterior casing.
2 The interior of the panel PC does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the panel PC and the interior of it.
3 Be cautious of the tiny removable components when using a vacuum cleaner
to absorb the dirt on the floor.
4 Turn the system off before starting to clean up the panel PC.
5 Never drop any tiny objects through the openings of the panel PC or get
circuit board damp or wet.
6 Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when usingt them
for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
7 Avoid any food, drink or cigarette around the panel PC.
Cleaning Tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning
Panel PCs and peripherals, users can also use household items to clean their computers
and peripherals. Below is a list of some items that may be needed or used when cleaning
the panel PC or panel PC peripherals.
Please keep in mind that some components in panel PC components may only be cleaned
using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be
mentioned in the cleaning tips.
1 Cloth - A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, it is
still recommended that a piece of cloth is used to rub it.
2 Water or rubbing alcohol – Moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water or
rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer.
3 Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts.
4 Vacuum cleaner - Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a
computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and
cause circuitry to corrode.

PC 5170 Flat Panel PC
5 Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in the keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
6 Foam swabs - Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the LCD should the need arise for adding a functionality. The use of a grounded
wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust and debris or other
static-accumulating materials in the work area.
