1. General
Characteristics
COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX is the proposal of SYSTEM
Electronics to combine the needs of an advanced graphic
interface on board machine with a reliable and mecha-
nically robust hardware platform.
The unit consists of a shock and liquid resistant terminal,
easily installable and adjustable through a xing support
compatible with the VESA100 standard.
The terminal is equipped with a SVGA 1024×768 graphic
display and a resistive touch-screen.
Thanks also to the new integrated Wireless solutions,
such as Wi-Fi, the COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX terminal can
operate as a supervisor of the equipment connected to
the machine and communicate with remote devices,
such as the 10.4" Copilot.

3. Description and
operation
3.1 Switching on and o
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX is equipped with a power
button on the back, by pressing it you can turn the CPU
on and o. An audible signal alerts the user to turn the
terminal on.
If pressed during Windows operation, it automatically
turns o open applications and then turns o the power.
The system is ACPI compatible.
For other operating systems, the COPILOT 15" Mini-I-
TX is turned o by pressing and holding the button for
more than 4 seconds.
During battery operation, UPS management allows you
to be informed of the presence of mains voltage.
Under normal conditions the internal emergency batte-
ries allow a minimum autonomy of 10 minutes (typical
15 minutes). When the remaining charge is completed,
the CPU is turned o to avoid battery damage.
In the absence of mains voltage, it is advisable to imme-
diately close the applications and switch o the terminal.
You can congure the power button functionality to shut
down or suspend the system, as shown in the gure
below.

3.3 Touch-Screen
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX' has an innovative capaci-
tive back-projected touch screen (PCAP) with 10 possible
touches at the same time.
System Electronics can provide dierent settings to
cover the dierent needs of the operator interface:
from the operation with gloves or in dirty environments
to the optimization in the precision of the touch, up to
the naturalness of the gestures with Windows (rotation,
movement and zoom with the hand).
3.4 Default settings of touch
parameters:
To reset the factory settings again, select the "RESET"
button from the TABLET PC SETTING window
Figura 3.4.1
NOTE
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX PC does not require spe-
cic drivers; the native Windows drivers are used for
touch-screen operation.
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX' PC does not normally
require calibration procedures, as it is already optimized
during production.
If there is a need to optimize the calibration of the tou-
ch-screen follow the procedure below.
In the Tablet PC Settings section, press the "CALIBRATE"
button:
To test the calibration of the touch screen, touch the
crosshairs each time they appear on the screen with
one nger.
Click in a random spot on the screen to return to the
last calibration.
Press ESC to exit.
Do not change the orientation of the monitor until you
have completed the calibration process.

touch coatings, so do not leave in contact
with the surface for over 2 minutes.
After cleaning, make sure you have removed all
the residues present and carried out this operation only if
necessary, as, for excessive pressure from
part of the user may remove or damage the
anti-glare treatment.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ACIDS,
SOLVENTS, VINEGAR, OR SOLUTIONS
ALKALINE FOR CLEANING OR BLEACH
After cleaning the surface of the touch screen, wipe it dry
carefully with a dry cloth, removing the more
possible the sanitizing solution.
NB: DO NOT SPRAY THE SOLUTION
DIRECTLY ONTO THE SURFACE OF
THE TOUCH SCREEN.
3.5 Cleaning and Maintenance
of the Touch Screen System
For proper cleaning and maintenance of the touch screen
a solution of distilled water or isopropyl alcohol should
be applied over a clean cloth, after making sure that the
cloth is well saturated with dirt or residues.
Figura 3.5.1
Make a "Z" movement, evenly across the entire surfa-
ce, after possibly positioning the Copilot horizontally to
prevent droplets from falling down and remaining inside
the frame.

3.6 Adjusting the display
brightness
COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX allows the brightness of the
backlight to be adjusted using the operating system's
own communication with the integrated power supply.
In the Power Option conguration page you can con-
gure the desired brightness according to the desired
power plan.
It is possible, for example, to reduce the brightness
after a preset time.
System Electronics makes available tools and examples
to be able to adjust the brightness of the display remo-
tely, typically from a supervisor PC via Ethernet commu-
nication you can simultaneously adjust the brightness of
all the terminals of the machine, to adapt them to the
environment (daylight / night light).
3.7 Display
In the advanced power management of the Windows
screen saver, there is normally the feature of automa-
tically turning o the display reroillumination after a
period of inactivity. This feature increases the life of
the display.
To change the power o timeout, you need to change
the mask as shown in the gure below.
The backlighting of the display is LED, with typical bri-
ghtness of 350 nits and 50,000 hours of life (hours of
life dened as the time after which the brightness is
reduced by half).
The display has a resolution of 1024×768 with reading
angles +80°/-80° horizontally and +70°/-70° vertically..
3.8 Connectivity
LThe Wireless solutions of the COPILOT allow maximum
freedom and exibility in use, allowing you to drive
remote equipment.
The COPILOT is proposed as a universal operator in-
terface, for the possibility to communicate with the
machine and receive only the necessary data, as well
as the desired manuals and manage the updating of the
equipment in an easy way.
Native interfaces:
- from 2 to 4 USB connectors on the back
- Ethernet 10/100/1000
- miniPCIe Wi-Fi: wireless radio communication accor-
ding to the 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz standard, with point-
to-point or access-point access mode.
Possibility to authenticate according to WPA, WPA2,
802.1X (EAP-TLS, TTLS, MD5, PEAP, LEAP, EAP-FAST),
EAP-SIM modes. Encryption supported are 64-bit and
128-bit WEP, AES-CCMP, CKIP, TKIP.
The maximum distance between two communication
units or between the 15" COPILOT and the access-point
is 100m.
For applications requiring maximum performance and
radio coverage, two internal antennas or one external
antenna can be installed.
For multimedia applications you may request the option
of audio connection and TV output (Audio LineIN, Mic,
LineOut).

3.9 Memory and data storage
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX provides up to 16GB of
DDR3 RAM memory.
A SATA HDD from 80GB up to 1TB can be installed.
For embedded operating systems (Linux, Dos, Windows
Wes7) it is possible to use a usual SSD state slot that
guarantees a higher reliability in the presence of vibra-
tions related to the use of the equipment.
The SSD disk is available in 16GB, 32GB, 128GB cuts.
The advantage of being able to use multiple storage
media allows, in particularly demanding applications,
to use data redundancy, manage various usable ope-
rating systems or store backups of the machine on an
auxiliary hard disk to recover terminal functionality in
case of damage.
It is recommended to use the optional UPS functionali-
ty to ensure the correct shutdown of the PC in case of
power failure.
3.10 Watch-Dog
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX is equipped with a CPU
hardware Watch-Dog, which allows to restart the PC in
case of application crash.
Please contact System Electronics for API details to use
this feature.
3.11 Terminal auto power on
The COPILOT 15" Mini-ITX is equipped with an auto
power on function activated after the power is connected.
This feature allows the terminal to start automatically
when the main power supply to which the COPILOT
15" is connected is turned on.
In case of manual shutdown, the terminal will not turn
on itself. To turn it on again, press the button or remove
and reconnect the power.
3.12 Typical terminal
consumption
The power consumption of the terminal depends mainly
on the type of CPU installed, the status of the display
and any internal add-in cards installed.
Below are the typical and maximum power consumption
measured:
The terminal conguration refers to the PC running Win-
dows 7 Embedded, 8GB HDD and Wi-Fi card not installed.
Signicant dierences in power consumption may occur
depending on the options used.
Standby refers to the situation with the display o and
CPU in power saving mode
4. Back Connectors
4.1 Examples of some available
versions of rear connectors
Various versions of rear connectors are available to meet
the many requirements of practicality and reliability of
the cabling.
Versions with M12 connectors guarantee IP67 sealing
of the terminal.
The unused M12 connectors can be protected by means
of protection caps that guarantee the seal to external
agents.
