information about CCpilot XL. The handbook will guide you and inform you about this on-board
computer’s technical possibilities and advantages.
This manual covers the standard models of CCpilot XL. The CCpilot XL platform is also available
additional configurations of hardware and software. Additional documentation can then be needed.
This material is copyright protected © 2010 CrossControl. All rights reserved.
1.1. Identification
There is a label on the back of the display and PC-unit of CCpilot XL. Printed on this labels are
numbers which identify your unique computer. During service and other contact with the supplier
it is important to be able to provide these numbers.
1.2. Care
All cables shall be disconnected from your CCpilot XL during welding or other service on
the machine where it is installed.
CCpilot XL shall only be mounted and serviced by authorised personnel. If the unit is
opened by unauthorised personnel, the normal guarantee will cease to be valid.
Scratches, or in the worst case damages, to the display occur easily if it comes in contact
with a sharp edge or hard material. In order to increase the longevity of the screen, this is
naturally something which should be avoided.
The unit can be damaged if it becomes too hot. Therefore, do not cover the unit by laying
things on it, for example hanging a jacket or other clothes on it.
Consider traffic safety when CCpilot XL is installed and whenever it is used. CrossControl
does not recommend that CCpilot XL or its accessories be used actively by the driver when
a risk of injury to people, or damage to property, is present.
Be advised that CCpilot XL draws power from the vehicle battery. This can result in the
inability of the vehicle to start if the onboard computer has been on for a period of time
without the vehicle motor running.
1.3. Environment and Environmental Tolerance
CCpilot XL has been designed to cope with tough environmental demands. Strict tests have been
conducted on the unit in order to ensure that it fulfils the expectations of a rugged unit and much
work has been performed to choose and design internal components so that they, under all
circumstances and in the best possible way, provide you with a dependable and user-friendly
working instrument. Within the chapter Specifications, a list of standards can be found according
to which CCpilot XL has been tested and approved.
CCpilot XL shall preferably be placed under a roof in order to prevent exposure to direct water
contact. It is also important that it is mounted securely on a stand or the like to inhibit the unit
from moving and thereby becoming damaged, damaging the vehicle and/or people during, for
example, a traffic accident.

3. Installation
CCpilot XL must be installed in such a way that the unit is not exposed to any unnecessary stress or
present any traffic danger. In this section, some recommendations are made regarding installation.
For information about mounting accessories please contact your CCpilot XL reseller.
CCpilot XL shall only be serviced by authorized personnel. If the unit is opened by non-authorised
personnel, the warranty becomes void.
3.1. Placing and installing of the unit and peripherals
CCpilot XL shall be installed in a ventilated space where air is able to circulate around the unit,
therefore not near hot air vents or the like. There must be at least 50 mm distance between the unit
and the closest partition or any other barrier. If the unit becomes too warm, it may not perform to
its full capacity and, with high temperature, cease to function.
If the preceding instructions are not observed, the cooling of the unit can be degraded which can
lead to overheating, consequently causing permanent damage to the unit.
When CCpilot XL or any device is installed in a vehicle environment it is important that the
installation is traffic-safe. One should also avoid installing the unit where it will block the driver’s
view. This applies to both the instrument panel and the view through windshield. One should also
think about how the placement affects personal safety in the event of a collision.
Consider traffic safety whenever CCpilot XL is installed and used in vehicle installations.
CrossControl does not recommend that CCpilot XL or its accessories are used actively by the driver
or operator when a risk of injury to people, or damage to property, is present.
3.2. Mounting the PC unit separately
The PC unit should be fastened onto suitable panelling in the cabin or someplace similar. This is
done with the six mounting holes on the sides of the unit. Suitable fasteners, such as MRT M4x25
or MC6S M4x25 screws, can be used. The maximum tightening torque allowed is 1.0 Nm.
If the surface, on which the PC unit should be fastened, is not flat, care must be taken so as not to
put mechanical tension on the unit during fastening. This can be solved appropriately by placing
suitable spacers between the PC unit and the surface. An alternative solution is to use a separate,
flat mounting plate for the PC unit. This plate is first fastened onto the desired area with separate
screws, or by other means. Use thread lockers in all screw holes, e.g., Loctite 222.
We recommend installing CCpilot XL in such a way that it is not exposed to unnecessary vibration
or other stress.
3.3. Mounting the display
3.3.1. Bracket mount
CCpilot XL is preferably mounted on a convenient bracket which allows for adjustment of the
display’s position and angle. The bracket should have, or be provided with, a flat fastening plate to
which the unit is bolted. The 10.4” display has mounting holes according to VESA 75 and the 12.1”
display is according to VESA 100). To fasten, use appropriate M6 cap screw of type MC6S (Allen) or
MRT (Torx). Note that the enclosure has blind holes, which give a maximum thread depth in the

CCpilot XL

enclosure of 6.5 mm. The maximum torque is 2.5 Nm. Apply a thread locker in all bolt holes, e.g.
Loctite 222.
3.3.2. Panel Mount
With a front-mounted installation, use the rubber mask as a seal against the panel plate. The unit is
locked down by applying clamps which are either fixed to the panel (recommended) or fixed to the
unit through holes for VESA installation.
3.4. Integrated installation, PC unit mounted on display unit
An integrated installation can only be carried out on the PC unit together with the 12.1” display
unit.
The same placing demands apply here, as when the units are mounted separately. Mounting,
however, is carried out somewhat differently.
To fasten the PC and display units together, screws of type MC6S (Insex) or MRT (Torx), M4 x 25,
should be used. The maximum tightening torque allowed is 1.0 Nm. Use thread lockers in all screw
holes, e.g., Loctite 222.
The mounting holes on the PC unit’s cooling flanges are used to screw the integrated unit onto a flat
mounting plate. The mounting holes have M6 dimensions and are blind holes with a depth of 10
mm. Use screws of the correct length so that they do not hit the bottom of the mounting holes, and
always use thread lockers in all screw holes, e.g., Loctite 222. Maximum tightening torque allowed
is 9.8 Nm.
Note that the mounting plate, which is screwed onto the cooling flanges, should not cover a large
area. This may cause poor cooling of the computer and damage it permanently.
If the screws used in the mounting holes hit the bottom, it may cause damage to the unit’s
enclosure.
3.5. Mounting Cables
Cables shall be installed so that they don’t run the risk of being damaged, pinched or worn. Strain
relief cable assemblies and avoid bending and twisting cables. The connectors shall always be
screwed-in securely to give good contact and avoid unnecessary strain.
Through adapter cables, as supplied by CrossControl, standard connectors for Ethernet, USB and
COM can be connected to the unit. The hook up of these adapter cables can and should be placed in
a moisture-free, hidden space and should be secured and strain-relived.
3.6. Connecting the Power supply
This instruction addresses vehicle installations but the principle is the same also for other types of
installations. See also the description for the Power Supply Connector pin outs under the section
External interface description.
Carefully follow the connection instructions below. Make sure that the contacts are the right way up
and that they do not have to be forced, but lock gently and pliant.

GND is connected to the vehicle’s ground.
ON/OFF (pins 2 and 5) i.e. the computer’s ON/OFF signal is connected to the battery or power
source through a recoiling ON/OFF button.
Battery (pins 3 and 7), i.e. the computer’s power supply (+24 VDC), should be connected directly to
the vehicle’s battery (G1) through an 8A fuse (F1).
Preheating (pin 4) allows preheating of the hard disk.
By connecting the power supply according to above, the on-board computer will start by a short
push signal on the ON/OFF button, equal to starting a normal PC computer. To shut down CCpilot
XL, push the ON/OFF button again or use the operating system shut down functionality.
3.6.1. Precautions
If applicable connect the computer before any main switch, as per the illustration above. If this is
not possible, ensure that the computer is turned off using for example the on/off button or turnkey
functionality before turning off the main switch or in any other way making the computer
powerless.
Sudden power disruptions may cause the computer to shut down, potentially causing lost or
corrupt data. If for example the power fluctuates when starting the vehicle engine, the computer
should be started after the vehicle engine is running.
Ensure that any application data is saved before turning off the computer.
All cables shall be disconnected from your computer before any welding or other service action is
performed on the vehicle.
3.7. Heating via Preheating
Preheating can be used to prepare for a direct start-up of CCpilot XL in low temperatures.
Preheating is initiated by a signal, from an external device, e.g., timer or motor heater, into pin 4 in
the power supply contact on CCpilot XL. When the signal is high the temperature is continuously
checked. If the temperature is below the defined setting the heater element is activated, by default
+5 °C. To save battery power, the LED indication and display is not activated during preheat
function.

4. Basic operation
This section covers basic operation of CCpilot XL unit such as start-up and shut down.
4.1. Function of the Display’s Push-buttons
In the top left of the CCpilot XL display there are two buttons to control the screen brightness.
Press and hold the button to gradually increase or decrease the display’s brightness.
4.2. Starting Up
The unit is started by sending a short push signal to the ON/OFF pins in the power connector on
CCpilot XL. For more information see the chapter connecting the Power Supply.
4.2.1. Starting in the cold
Rotating hard drives should not be used in low temperature. To prevent damage, the temperature
of the hard drive is checked and if needed warmed before start-up.
CCpilot XL will not start immediately when sending the ON/OFF signal and the temperature is
lower than +5°C (+41°F). Instead, an internal heater will warm up the hard drive. During warm up
the LED on the display will flash and the display will be activated.
Once the temperature for the hard disk is above +5°C, CCpilot will start automatically. The heater
continues to warm the hard drive until it reaches +14°C.
To prepare for a fast start up in low temperatures preheating can be used. For more information see
chapter, Heating via Preheating.
Values for the temperatures mentioned above are default values but can be changed from the CCP
Settings program.
4.3. Shutting-down
To ensure that data does not get lost or the hard disk become corrupt, it is recommended that all
programs are closed before the unit is shut down.
CCpilot XL can be shut down either from the operating system or from a short push signal on the
ON/OFF input in the power connector.
4.3.1. Forced shut-down
Setting the ON/OFF signal high for 5 seconds will perform a forced shut down. The forced shut
down is a direct shut down of the computer without the control of the operating system. This shut
down should normally be avoided and only be used when the computer is not responding to normal
shut down.
Note that any information which was not saved will now be lost.

4.4. Touch screen
The CCpilot XL display is equipped with a touch screen which gives the opportunity to provide an
easy-to-use HMI (Human Machine Interface) for the user.
4.4.1. Double and right click on the touch screen
To perform the equivalent to a right click on the touch screen first tap the place where the right
click is supposed to be pressed and then tap the screen again slightly to the side of the initial tap.
To perform a double click on the touch screen, tap the screen twice in the same place.
4.4.2. Calibration of touch screen
If needed the touch screen can be calibrated. Calibration is started manually via the CCP Settings
application. To keep the calibration data the administrator login must be done in CCP Settings.
Be thorough with this calibration for the best possible performance with your touch screen. You
should use the same object (finger, stylus) during calibration which you think you will use later.
Don’t use sharp or pointed objects on the touch screen since these can damage or scratch it, which
can seriously degrade its functionality.
4.5. Back-up battery
Time and date information on CCpilot XL is stored in a memory sustained by a back-up battery.
This battery has a limited life time and must therefore be exchanged at regular intervals. The life
time of the battery is approximately 3 years.
4.5.1. Exchanging the back-up battery
The battery is located on the hard-drive circuit board accessible behind the hatch on the side of the
computer module. Perform the steps below to exchange the battery.
Before performing the battery exchange make sure that the PC is disconnected from power and any
other connections.
1. Remove the two screws on the plate covering the HD-module

The Video connector has two composite video inputs for the attachment of video sources such as
rear view cameras. It supports PAL, the European video format, as well as NTSC, the American
standard.
The video connector can be used to power external cameras using the 12V unfiltered supply. The
output has a current limit that depends on the internal unit temperature. The current is limited to
0.150A at an internal unit temperature of 70 degrees Celsius and around 0.2A in normal working
conditions.
The cable which is used to connect the camera to the computer shall be a 75-Ω coaxial cable, e.g.
M17/94-RG179. An eventual outer cable shield is connected to the M12 connectors cover.
Ensure that there is no DC-offset (supply current) on the video signal connected since this can
cause damage to your CCpilot XL.
