Supports standard analog RGB input and touch panel operation via either RS-232C or USB. The LCD is
high-intensity with a wide field of view and can display either 16,777,216 colors (15 inch model) or
262,144 colors (10.4 inch and 12.1 inch models). The front on the display is made from lightweight
aluminum. The display features an analog touch panel that can emulate mouse operation via the driver
software.
- Auto-scaling feature that resizes the input screen to the LCD dot configuration
Auto-scaling feature that resizes the input screen to the LCD dot configuration
- On-screen display setup menu facilitating screen adjustment
The on-screen display setup screen can be used to set parameters such as the brightness, contrast, and
display position adjustment.
- Front structure with IP65-compliant ingress protection
Front structure with IP65-compliant ingress protection
- Panel attachment dimensions are compatible with the IPC-DT/x6x series.
The compatibility of the panel attachment fitting with the previous IPC-DT/x6x model facilitates
replacement.

Handling Precautions
CAUTION
- As this product contains precision electronic components, do not use or store in environments
subject to shock or vibration.
- This product is not intended for use in aerospace, space, nuclear power, medical equipment, or other
applications that require a very high level of reliability. Do not use the product in such applications.
- If you utilize this product in such usages where high reliability and safety are required as on the
trains, vessels, automotives or crime- or disaster-prevention devices, contact your retailer.
- Do not use or store the product in a location such as extremely high or low temperature, rapid
temperature changes, and the place which receives a strong ultraviolet ray.
Example: - Exposure to direct sun
- In the vicinity of a heat source
- Do not use or store the equipment in a dusty or humid place.
- Do not perform key operations with the touch panel to implement a process that might endanger life
or result in serious damages. Design a system that can cope with incorrect key input operations.
- Do not use a sharp-edged object, such as a mechanical pencil, to operate the touch panel in order to

malfunction or fault.
- Some products require configuration settings. Always check these requirements before use. Also,
never set switches or jumpers to other than the specified settings as this may cause a fault.

1. Introduction
4ユーザーズマニュアル
- A characteristic of analog touch panels is that the detected position may vary due to changes in the
ambient environment (temperature and humidity) and changes in resistance values over time. In
such cases, the touch panel should be recalibrated and the calibration data updated.
- Regular maintenance is necessary for the backlight on the touch panel and the display for the
longevity parts.
- If you discover damaged or missing items, contact your retailer.
- The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
- Regarding “FCC PART 15 Class A Notice”
(excluding FPD-H21XT-AC)
These product has acquired the above-mentioned
standard.
However, a sufficient margin may not be secured
for the standard. In this case, use a ferrite core
(SEIWA E04SR200935A or a compatible product)
for the AC power cable.
When attaching the ferrite core, coil it near the
connector while leaving it open, and then close it.
- VCCI Class A, EMC Instruction Class A Notice (only FPD-H21XT-AC）
To ensure that the FPD-H21XT-AC complies with the above standard, fit the supplied ferrite cores
to the AC power supply cable, RGB display cable, and RS-232C cable (or USB cable) (use the
SEIWA E04SR200935A or equivalent for the AC power cable and the SEIWA E04SR301334 or
equivalent for the RGB display cable and RS-232C cable).
When attaching the ferrite core, coil it near the connector while leaving it open, and then close it.
(When attaching the RS-232C cable (or USB cable), coil it around once near the connector while
leaving it open, and then close it.)

Use environment
This product operates under the following operating systems:
Windows XP/2000/NT 4.0/98SE/95OSR2
* The touch panel USB interface is only supported on Windows XP/2000/98SE.
Life expectancy of components
(1) Backlight--- Display brightness decreases over time with use. The operating life of the
backlight (brightness reduced to 50% of original) is 50,000 hours for all
models. (Assuming continuous operation at 25 degrees centigrade.)
(2) Touch panel--- The operating lifetime of the touch panel is at least 1 million touches
(as tested by mechanical touching under 300g of force at a rate of two presses
per second).
(3) Power supply--- Expected life is six years for continuous operation at 40°C (when mounted
horizontally). However, this life may be reduced depending on the operating
temperature (in the case of higher temperatures).
* CONTEC accepts your request for replacing each consumable in the PANECON-PC as a requestfor
repair (at an additional cost). Contact your local retailer or CONTEC sales office.
LCD Display Pixel Drop
LCDdisplay may have some pixels being dropped (bright and black spots) below a certain threshold.
Note that this is not a failure or a defect.
Burn-in on TFT Display
"Burn-in" may occur if the same display is retained for a long time. Avoid this by periodically
switching the display so that the same display is not maintained for a long time.
* Burn-In: Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a result of long-time display of the same
screen where a shadow-like trace persists because electric charge remains in the LCD element even
after the patterns are changed.
Connecting to a host with an existing touch panel function such as a CONTEC panel computer.
This touch panel cannot be used with a touch panel mounted in the host computer. In this case, the
touch panel function will be unavailable but screen display will still work normally.
However, on the following CONTEC panel computers, multiple touch panels can be used together
when connected via the USB interface.
