– Never allow fluids, metal filings or wiring debris to enter any openings in the
EPC. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
– Only qualified personnel may operate the EPC.
– Storing the EPC where the temperature is lower/higher than recommended
in this manual can cause the LCD display liquid to congeal/become isotopic.
– The LCD display liquid contains a powerful irritant. In case of skin contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, hold the eye
open, flush with plenty of water and get medical attention.
– The figures in this manual serves an illustrative purpose. Because of the many
variables associated with any particular installation, the supplier cannot as-
sume responsibility for actual use based on the figures.
– The supplier neither guarantees that the EPC is suitable for your particular
application, nor assumes responsibility for your product design, installation
or operation.

5.4 Motherboard
The EPC C2D Nautic has 2 SODIMM slots for main storage and 2 PCI-slots.
Further details on the motherboard can be found in a separate manual, included
in the delivery.
5.5 Assembly
A free space of 100 mm, for air circulation, has to be provided around the EPC,
to dissipate the heat generated during operation.
The EPC C2D Nautic is assembled with items included in the supplied mount-
ing kit.
Note:
The quality of the memory module may influence the system stability. When updating
the memory module, or adding a second one, please only use memory modules ap-
proved by Beijer Electronics. Memory modules are electrostatic sensitive compo-
nents. Relevant protective measures (earth) have to be considered during assembly/
disassembly. ESD-protective measures are to be considered when opening and work-
ing on the EPC.
Note:
Possible risk of damage to the EPC!
Protection class IP65 for the front panel is only guaranteed with a perfect fitting seal.
Pay attention to the torque when fixing the front panel.

5.6 Power Supply
The EPC C2D Nautic is available with 230 V AC or 24 V DC power system.
230 V AC Power Supply Connection with Integrated Fuse
24 V DC Power Supply Connection
The power supply for 24 V DC is carried out via a double-pole connector
(Phoenix MST BT 2,5/2).
The EPC C2D Nautic is certified for the connection to protective grounded
power supply according to EN60950. The EPC Box C2D Nautic can also be
operated with extra low voltage in accordance with EN60950. The controlling
transformer has to comply with EN60742.
Note:
Check the power supply system with the relevant data on the type plate.

5.7 Earthing System
The following items have to be observed to guarantee a safe dissipation of elec-
tronic interference:
– The EPC and switch board have to be connected to the nearest possible cen-
tral earthing point.
– Make sure of a possibly low inductive connection between EPC and switch
board.
– All data cables connected to the EPC have to be of the shielded type.
– The screens have to be earthed on both sides. A low ohm connection between
the connected systems is essential. Avoid high equalizing currents through the
cable screen due to voltage fluctuations.
– The earthing connection is to be carried out with min. 4 mm² cross section.
5.8 ATX Power Switch
Power packs, main boards and operation systems are used in the EPC C2D Nau-
tic, using up to date PC-technologies such as ATX and ACPI. Switching on the
EPC is done in accordance with ATX specification via the ATX power switch
(the red button next to the power supply).
Should a correct automatic booting not function then this can have the follow-
ing reason:
In the BIOS settings, the option PWRON After PWR-Fail in the Integrated
Peripherals/Super IO Device menu must be enabled, i.e. On. See also section
6.2 Default BIOS Settings.
The operating system must be ended correctly using the Shut down command
from the operating system menu (Windows start menu), so that the operating
system of the EPC is shut down. The EPC must not be switched off while the
operating system is still running.
The power pack now has to be separated from the power supply for a minimum
of 15 seconds prior to a re-start. During the booting process the main voltage
may not fall (not even for a short time) below the permitted value.
A manual actuation of the ATX power switch, i.e. to start the BIOS menu au-
tomatically to check and confirm correct settings, can be necessary if the system
registers an error during shut-down or booting. This is not a malfunction but a
safety feature.

Description of Parts
18 Beijer Electronics, MAEN979B
5.9 ATX Remote Connector
The ATX remote terminal is a double-pole connector close to the red ATX pow-
er switch button. It is parallel connected to the button. An external push-button
switch or a relay contact can be connected to the ATX remote connector.
5.10 Compact Flash Memory Card
An external Compact Flash memory card can be used for data storage. Some
EPC models also allow mounting an internal Compact Flash memory card as a
boot-up device, or for data storage.
If a Compact Flash memory card is mounted in/removed from a running EPC,
the EPC must be restarted in order to detect the system change.
Booting from a Compact Flash Card
Follow the instructions below, in order to boot the EPC from an internal Com-
pact Flash card:
– Make sure that the Compact Flash card is used as local drive. Standard Com-
pact Flash cards are available only as removeable drives for data storage.
– Confirm that the Compact Flash card is set as first boot device in the BIOS
in order to boot the operation system from it.
– Removing the Compact Flash card while the EPC is running may damage the
operating system.
Note:
Only Compact Flash cards distributed by Beijer Electronics may be used. Third par-
ty products may cause system malfunction or performance loss.
