Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The TPC-1770/1780 TPC is state-of-the-art HMI. This 17" display opera-
tor interface is an x86-based platform with these key features:
Fanless:
By using a low power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans,
which are unreliable, and cause dust to circulate inside the equipment.
Bright Display:
The bright TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.
Powerful Communication Capability:
The TPC-1770/1780 provides powerful IO interface for easily communi-
cating with other devices. The IO interface includes serial ports, Ethernet
and USB 2.0 support.
Embedded Windows Support:
In addition to the OS support of Windows XP, Advantech offers platform
support for XP embedded.

1.7 Panel Mounting
1. There is a piece of adhesive waterproof gasket on the AL front
bezel. Make sure the waterproof gasket is in position before
installing the TPC-1770/1780 to the panel opening.
2. Install the TPC-1770/1780 to the panel opening.
3. Find out the ten clampers and ten long screws in the accessory
pack. Hook those clampers to those holes around the four sides
of the bezel. Insert the screws to every clamper and fasten them.
These screws will then push on the mounting panel and fix the
unit.
4. The mounting panel thickness is suggested to be less than 5.5mm
(0.216 inch).

Step 3: Connect the power connector to the 24VDC power lines. The
power lines can either be of some power adapter or in-house power
source.
Figure 2.2: Power connector
Warning It is suggested to turn OFF system power as plug in
or pull out the memory card, though the Compact-
Flash memory is supposed to be hot swappable.
