Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a QuickPanel View. The QuickPanel View
is available in different configurations to suit your requirements, either as a full-
featured HMI, or as a combination of HMI and controller for local and distributed
control applications. Equally adept in a networked environment or as a stand-
alone unit, the QuickPanel View is the ideal solution for factory floor HMI and
control.
Powered by Microsoft Windows CE.NETTM, today’s embedded operating
system of choice, the QuickPanel View provides a fast track for application
program development. The commonality with other versions of Windows
simplifies porting your existing program code. Another benefit of Windows CE is
the familiarity of the user interface, shortening the learning curve for operators
and developers alike. The availability of third-party application software makes
this operating system even more attractive.
The 6" QuickPanel View is an all-in-one microcomputer designed for maximum
flexibility. The design, based on an advanced Intel® microprocessor, brings
together a high-resolution operator interface with a variety of I/O options. With
many standard ports and expansion busses from which to choose, you can
connect to most industrial equipment.
The QuickPanel View is equipped with several memory types to satisfy even
the most demanding applications. A 16 MB section of DRAM is split between
the operating system, an object store, and application memory. A 16 MB
section of non-volatile FLASH memory, functioning as a virtual hard drive, is
divided between the operating system and persistent storage for application
programs. The many features of the QuickPanel View make it an obvious
choice for a world of applications. Your smart choice will provide reliable
operation for years to come.

unplanned shutdown of the QuickPanel View. In general, programs are retained
in FLASH memory and user data can be retained in battery-backed SRAM.
Some operating system settings are retained only with user intervention. We
recommend the following procedure to shut down the QuickPanel.
To shut down the QuickPanel View
1. Quit any programs that are running and wait for all file operations to
complete.
2. To save changes to operating system settings (e.g., brightness, touch
screen sensitivity) run Backup.
3. Run Reboot, as described in chapter 2. When the Windows CE desktop
reappears, remove AC power from the 24VDC supply.

To secure the QuickPanel View to a panel with the small cutout, use the four
included mounting clips, which hook into the openings located on the top and
bottom of the housing as shown in the following illustration.
To mount the unit in a panel with small cutout dimensions
1. Separate the small cutout gasket from the supplied gasket sheet (the
small cutout gasket is nested within the larger one, and has two
notches on each long side). Avoiding damage to the gasket, carefully
remove the covering over its adhesive backing, and then apply the
gasket with its adhesive surface toward the inner gasket channel (see
the illustration above).
2. Verify that the gasket is properly seated in the gasket channel, then
insert the unit into the panel cutout.
3. Insert the hook of each mounting bracket in the housing openings.

Notes:
 For compliance to NEMA 4, 4x, and 12 qualification, the unit must be
mounted in a comparably NEMA rated (IP56 equivalent) panel or
enclosure.
 For compliance to ATEX agency qualification, the unit must be mounted in
an IP66 panel or enclosure.
 To avoid gasket degradation, limit repeated insertions or removals of the
unit and retightening of the mounting clips. For full protection, always use a
fresh gasket. Replacement gaskets may be ordered using part number
IC754ACC06GASE.
 For adequate ventilation, allow at least 3 inches of space between adjacent
equipment and all sides of the QuickPanel. Ensure that specified conditions
of temperature and humidity are not exceeded.
 In outdoor applications, direct sun exposure may impose increased thermal
loads on the QuickPanel leading to excessive temperature rises. Cabinet
design and orientation must be carefully considered to avoid exceeding the
operational temperature limits. These considerations could include shading
for the QuickPanel and its cabinet with awnings or other solar opaque
materials, avoiding a due East or West facing of the cabinet, ventilation or
active cooling of the cabinet, or other methods.

GFK-2327B Chapter 1 Welcome 1-11

To Mount the QuickPanel View in a Panel
1. Verify that the gasket is properly seated in the bezel channel, then insert the
unit into the panel cutout.
2. Insert the hook of each mounting bracket in the housing openings as shown
below.
3. Firmly tighten the screws.
Note: The torque range for the mounting bracket screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs
(0.3–0.5 Nm).
The mounting clamps hold the unit in place by tension. No drilling is required.
Do not damage the gasket attached to the back of the QuickPanel. This gasket
prevents shock hazards and damage caused by liquids accidentally entering
the unit after installation.
Also, limit the number of times you remove and reinstall the unit. Too many
installations may cause gasket “set” and degradation of the seal.
