INSTALLING THE PANEL PC
PACKAGE CONTENTS
The Panel PC is shipped in customized dual layer cardboard packaging with polystyrene protection.
Standard delivery:
Panel PC
Power cable with connector
Power adapter 100 –240 VAC to 12 VDC
Gasket for panel mounting
Quick mounting kit
CD with drivers
When specified, Operating System Recovery DVD
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Panel PC should be installed in vertical position to prevent overheating.
For product and cutout dimensions, please refer to the chapter Product Dimensions. Make the cutout
according cutout dimension for the selected model.
COMPASS SAFETY DISTANCE
The Panel PC is certified according to DNV 2.4 and IEC60945 for bridge installation.
Standard compass safe distance: 95 cm
Steering compass safe distance: 65 cm
Air flow
IMPORTANT!
For installation at an angle, the PC
must be equipped with a ventilation
fan.

Autic System Marine PC Rev. 1.1 Page 15
INSTALLATION METHODS
There are four methods for installation. Quick mounting is standard.
Quick mounting fittings.
10 screws with nuts behind front bezel.
4 screws through holes in the front bezel (OPTIONAL). Suitable when there is no access from rear.
Prepared for VESA standard bracket at rear side.
Various sizes according to size of Panel PC.
Fastening holes in monitor back plate.

Autic System Marine PC Rev. 1.1 Page 16
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The Panel PC is certified for the connection to grounded power supply according to
EN60950. The panel PC’s shall be supplied by the standard power adapter or by
another galvanically isolated supply of approved type.
There are two power connectors allowing the use of two individual power sources
to obtain redundancy. One power connector can be used for single input. Operating
voltage is from 9 to 32 VDC. Be aware of the current consumption for wire
dimension when using low supply voltage. Total power consumption can be up to 80
W.
The power input has polarity protection if + and –should be interchanged during installation.
Data cables connected to the unit should to be of the shield type.
We recommend that the shield is connected to ground on both sides.
We recommend using min. 4 mm² grounding wire.
Isolate PCB ground (0 V) from chassis ground (earth).
Signal ground (0 V) is isolated from chassis ground.
NOTE! Make sure the power is off when connecting and disconnecting the connectors.
VERIFICATION
Please observe the following during installation and startup.
1) Be accurate when mounting the gasket tape between the front bezel and the panel.
2) Cover the ventilation holes with a piece of paper to prevent metal shavings from entering the unit.
Remove again after installation to ensure sufficient ventilation.
3) Ground the unit according to installation instruction.
4) Make sure the polarity is correct for power connection before connecting to power outlet.
5) Keep signal cable and high voltage cable separated.
6) After power on, make sure that the system performs a normal startup of the OS.
7) The system may be delivered with a 30 day trial version of Windows OS. Make sure you have a valid
OS.

USING THE PANEL PC
ON-OFF AND RESET BUTTONS
The On-Off button is at the rear side of the Panel PC. This button shuts down the system in a proper way. We
strongly recommend to first shut down the system via application software or operating system.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use the Reset button for normal restart! This button makes a hard reset of the system, and may cause
abnormal behavior for the operating system.
REMOTE ON-OFF SWITCH
Remote button/switch can control on-off operation of the Box PC. Attach a potential free Switch or relay for
operation.
Toggle function.
When Panel PC is off. Single touch/pulse will start the unit.
When Panel PC is on. Single touch/pulse will stop the unit.
RESTORE ON AC/POWER LOSS
The Restore on AC/Power loss is hard coded to “Power On”. Regardless of the value set in BIOS, the PC powers
on when the AC/power is restored.

Autic System Marine PC Rev. 1.1 Page 18
MONITOR ADJUSTMENT, MODELS WITH HIGH BRIGHTNESS
Membrane keypad for Panel PC with High Brightness display (Sun readable, 10N or 8N option)
For bridge solutions with dimming according to IEC 62288, the “Sun Readable”option have to be selected. For
operation in other locations on the ship, standard screen brightness is suitable.
Note:
1. The monitor off/on button does not switch off the touch functionality.
2. The + or –buttons may appear to react slowly. Try holding the button pressed in for about 3-5 seconds
to adjust the brightness. This is due to the number of dimming levels.
3. For models with a serial number prior to 1608004-A (manufactured before Aug 2016):
- After pushing Fully Dark, use Night Mode, Day Mode or + to bring light back.
