Usage and connections
Hardware installation
The Pi Touch Display Kit is shipped fully assembled. You will only have to access the
Raspberry Pi board to install your microSD card, and connect the power and other optional
cables.
Two M4 threaded holes in the back of the display panel are available to screw the display
directly to a panel board. A optional back box is also available for in-wall installations.
Before opening the case, disconnect all power sources, any connection to external
devices, including USB cables, and disconnect the UPS external battery.
microSD installation
As the microSD socket is behind the flat cable that connects the Pi board with the display
control board, there is no direct access to the microSD socket when the kit is assembled.
You will need to remove the back steel cradle to expose the electronic boards to insert and
extract the microSD card.
NOTICE

User Guide

1. Remove power and disconnect all other connections to the Pi Touch Display Kit
2. Lay the Pi Touch Display Kit face down on a soft surface to avoid scratching
3. Unscrew the two lock nuts to free the back cradle from the aluminium display frame
4. Gently lift the cradle; pay attention not to damage the boards and connectors
5. Locate the microSD card socket, on the Raspberry Pi board, directly behind the white
flat cable. The flat cable has a large ferrite toroid around it. It is not a problem if the
toroid slides up or down, but never remove the toroid
6. Gently move the cable to have enough room to insert the microSD card in its socket;
the card should be inserted with its contacts facing up (toward the back of the unit)
7. Once the card is installed, check that the flat cable is still firmly connected on both
sides; if not, gently lift the connector’s locks, replace the cable and push the locks back
in position
8. Ensure that the toroid is not directly in contact with the microSD card, to avoid damage
to the card when the cradle is re-installed
9. Gently place the cradle back, aligning the mounting screws on the sides; pay attention
not to damage the boards, connectors, and internal cables
10. Screw the two lock nuts.
Power supply
The Pi Touch Display Kit can be powered with DC voltage only through the terminal block
of the installed Strato Pi or Iono Pi board:
✓With Strato Pi CAN board: DC nominal voltage range 12V to 65V;
✓With Strato Pi Mini, Base or UPS or Iono Pi board: DC nominal voltage range 12V to
28V.
Respect the correct polarity shown in the schematic diagram (+ -) of the board. The power
supply circuit implements reverse polarity protection using an auto resetting fuse and
surge protection.
Never connect the Raspberry Pi USB power plug.
Refer to the user guide of the installed Strato Pi or Iono Pi board for more details.
Wiring and GPIO operations
Refer to the appropriate Strato Pi or Iono Pi board user guide for detailed instructions.
Replacing the RTC backup battery
Both the Strato Pi and the Iono Pi boards have a hardware real time clock with a dedicated
long-life non-rechargeable back-up battery.
The battery is only used to power the RTC chip when power is not available (when the
Raspberry Pi is off). Depending on operating conditions it should last up to two years if not
powered, more if the board receives external power.

User Guide

Refer to the appropriate Strato Pi or Iono Pi board user guide for detailed instructions on
replacing the RTC backup battery.
Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries and/or
release of harmful substances.
Worn-out or defective batteries can compromise the function of this product.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in
as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus.
Immediately see doctor.
Replace the RTC lithium battery before it is completely discharged. Replace the battery
every 5 years even if the battery is still working properly. The lithium battery must be
replaced only with an identical CR1025 Lithium / Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery.
Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge, do
not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and protect
from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and the battery manufacturer's
instructions.
Before opening the case, disconnect all power sources, any connection to external
devices, including USB cables, and disconnect the UPS external battery.
Use a non-conductive pin or small tool to help extract the battery from its holder. Insert the
new battery with a gentle push. You don't need tools to insert the battery. The battery is
held into place by a spring contact.
Be sure to insert the battery so that the positive (+) terminal of the battery is in contact with
the outer body of the battery holder, and the negative (-) terminal is in contact with the
contact pad of the circuit board.
Reversing the battery polarity may damage the product.
The real time clock will reset its time immediately when the RTC backup battery is
disconnected.
Software installation
Refer to the software installation section of the Strato Pi or Iono Pi user guide for detailed
software installation and troubleshooting instructions.
The display and touch sensor unit used in Strato Pi Touch Display is the original 7” touch
display developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Refer to the raspberrypi.org website
for additional software installation instructions.
