3. Description and
operation
Copilot 21.5'' can be powered at 24VDC from an exter-
nal power supply or directly from the 24Vdc power supply
of the machine to which it is connected. The PC turns on
automatically when the input power supply is present.
Copilt 21.5'' has two gigabit-ethernet networks, two
RS232 serial ports, PS2 mouse and keyboard port, 4
USB 2.0 ports, display port connection, DVI or external
VGA for a remote monitor, audio connection.
Other communication ports (such as USB3.0, parallel,
etc.) are available as an option.
The main recent operating systems can be pre-installed
on the terminal: Windows 10, Linux Debian9, Windows7
and Windows 8.1.
After the operating system shutdown you can turn on
Copilot 21.5'' again by disconnecting for 10 seconds and
reconnecting the external 24VDC power supply or by
pressing the optional power button. It is also possible
to turn on Copilot 21.5'' from Wake-On-Lan commands
from an external PC connected to the terminal's Ether-
net network.
4. Installation
4.1 Configuration of internal
connectors
- Remove the 6 M5 xing screws M5 of the Copilot
21.5'' that cover the upper and lower doors, taking care
to keep the gaskets placed in the screws themselves and
inside the mechanics, in order to reassemble them later
in the same position.
- Typically all the connection cables are connected
from the bottom side of the Copilot 21.5'': the removal of
the upper door can facilitate the insertion of the cables
allowing to control their insertion.
- Nella versione a 8 USB le 4 porte USB aggiuntive
sono poste sotto lo sportello superiore.
- The power connector is placed vertically, acces-
sible by inserting your hand inside the bottom opening.

- Close the covers taking care to reposition the
insulating gaskets and the o-rings of the screws (for
models with IP67 protection).
Copilot 21.5'' can be installed in the recessed or
wall mounted version, prepared to be connected
to a VESA100 arm.
4.2 Installation in the hanging
version (VESA100)
To correctly mount the Copilot 21.5'' on the VESA100
arm pendant version follow the instructions below:
- Remove the Copilot 21.5'' from the packaging
and place it on a at surface free from objects, placing
a soft cloth on the table itself to avoid scratching the
glass during installation. Place the Copilot 21.5'' with
the glass facing the table. Avoid even momentarily
placing the terminal in a vertical position or slightly
leaning against the mechanics to avoid damage due to
the unstable position.
- Place the cables that will be connected to the
Copilot 21.5'' on the xing arm, making them protrude
for about 30cm beyond the xing point of the arm itself:
cables that will be connected inside the PC itself
- Remove the 6 M5 xing screws M5 of the Copilot
21.5'' that cover the upper and lower doors, taking care
to keep the gaskets placed in the screws themselves and
inside the mechanics, in order to reassemble them later
in the same position.
- Typically all the connection cables are connected
from the bottom side of the Copilot 21.5'': the removal
of the upper door can facilitate the insertion of the cables
allowing to control their insertion.
- Place the Copilot 21.5'' on the VESA arm by
inserting all cables inside from the rear center hole-
It is possible to x the Copilot 21.5'' to the arm using
the M6 screws supplied as in the picture. In case the
screws need to be replaced to t the arm used, be careful
not to exceed the length of the internal thread by more
than 8mm from the outer edge, to avoid damaging the
internal components.

- Only then connect the communication cables to
the VESA arm: USB, Ethernet, RS232 are all located on
the bottom side.
- The power connector is placed vertically, acces-
sible by inserting your hand inside the bottom opening.
Below is reported for simplicity 'the pinout of the power
connectors:
1: +24V
2: GND
3: PE
- Close the covers taking care to reposition the
insulating gaskets and screw O-rings (for models with
IP67 protection).

It is possible to adjust and tighten the VESA100 joint
of the Copilot 21.5'' (available as an option) using a
normal grinder wrench

ched to the Vesa100.
4.3 Panel mounting
- Drilling the panel according to the dimensions
indicated: 320 x 528
4.3.1 Panel drilling template
- Remove the Copilot 21.5'' from the packaging
and place it on a at surface free from objects, placing
a soft cloth on the table itself to avoid scratching the
glass during installation. Place the Copilot 21.5'' with
the glass facing the table. Avoid even momentarily
resting the terminal in a vertical position or slightly
leaning against the mechanics to avoid damage due to
the unstable position.
- Remove the 6 M5 screws that secure the upper
and lower sides.

- Place the body of the Copilot 21.5'' in the hole
in the panel, engaging it from the bottom side. If the
thickness of the panel is more than 1mm, remove the
lower corner and reassemble it after positioning the
Copilot 21.5'' inside its seat.
- Secure the Copilot using the adjustable side
blocks.
- Wiring the connection cables
- Ret the upper and lower sides with the 6 M5
screws and x the Copilot 21.5'' to the panel using the
screws provided.

4.4 Mounting option with foot
The ground mounting accessory is available. The foot
can be xed to the oor and allows the passage of cables
inside the joint.
The oor-standing foot allows 90' rotation of the Copilot
21.5'' to view operator interfaces or images/movies that
require a portrait-oriented view.

operation and calibration
Copilot 21.5'' has an innovative capacitive touch screen
(PCAP) with 10 possible touches at the same time.
System Electronics can provide dierent settings to co-
ver the dierent needs of the operator interface: from
operation with gloves or in dirty environments to the
optimization in the precision of touch, up to the natu-
ralness of gestures with Windows (rotation, movement
and zoom with the hand).
Copilot 21.5'' is supplied already calibrated and
equipped with a setting that typically covers all needs
without penalizing any of them: however there are some
commands to customize the behavior according to the
specic application.
5.1 Touch screen calibration:
The Copilot 21.5" PC does not normally require ca-
libration procedures, as it is already optimized during
production.
If you need to optimize the calibration of the touch
screen, follow the procedure below
5.2 Default settings of touch
parameters:
5.3. Adjusting the display
brightness
Copilot 21.5'' allows the brightness of the backlight to
be adjusted using the operating system's own commu-
nication 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.
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 before
To reset the factory settings again, select the "RESET"
button from the TABLET PC SETTING window
completing the calibration process.
NOTE
The Copilot 21.5" PC does not require specic drivers;
the native Windows drivers are used for touch-screen
operation

5.3.1 "Power Options"
System Electronics rende disponibili dei tools e degli
esempi per poter regolare la luminosità del display da
remoto, tipicamente da un pc supervisore tramite la
comunicazione ethernet è possibile regolare contem-
poraneamente la luminosità di tutti i terminali della
macchina, per adattarli al contesto ambientale (luce
diurna / luce notturna).
5.4 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.
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.
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.
Solutions containing alcohol are corrosive for the
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.
