Product Warranty (1 year)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The TPC-1260G touch panel computer is a state-of-the-art HMI (Human
Machine Interface). This operator interface with a 12.1” display is an
x86-based platform with these key features:
• Fanless
By using a low-power processor, the system does not have to rely on
fans, which often are unreliable and causes dust to circulate inside the
equipment.
• Bright Display
The high-brightness TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for
clear interfaces.
• Powerful Communication Capability
TPC-1260G provides a powerful I/O interface for easily communicat-
ing with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, a paral-
lel port, Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. TPC-1260G also supports the
expansion slot PC/104-Plus. This makes it easy to expand with the
required PC/104-Plus modules.
• Windows CE Support
In addition to the OS support of Windows 2000 and Windows XP,
Advantech offers platform support for Windows CE. The optional
Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC-1260G is
available for Windows CE application program builders.

1.7 Panel Mounting
1. There is an adhesive waterproof gasket on the Mg-AL front bezel.
Make sure the waterproof gasket is in position before installing
TPC-1260G into the panel opening.
2. Install the TPC-1260G into the panel opening.
3. Find the eight clampers and eight long screws in the accessory
pack. Hook the clampers to the holes around the four sides of the
bezel. Insert the screws into every clamper and fasten them. These
screws will push the mounting panel and fix the unit.
4. The suggested mounting panel thickness is less than 10 mm
(0.236”).
