Warning: The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed. Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to the TPC6000‐A2152‐T: A.1 Safety Precautions Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow: A.1.1 General Safety Precautions Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times. Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the TPC6000‐A2152‐T is opened. Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected whenever the TPC6000‐A2152‐T is being installed, moved or modified. Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock. Electric shocks can occur if the TPC6000‐A2152‐T chassis is opened when the TPC6000‐A2152‐T is running. Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the TPC6000‐A2152‐T. If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the TPC6000‐A2152‐T, turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the TPC6000‐A2152‐T vendor. DO NOT do the following: DO NOT drop the TPC6000‐A2152‐T against a hard surface. DO NOT strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel. DO NOT touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object. DO NOT use the TPC6000‐A2152‐T in a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature ...
that whenever the TPC6000‐A2152‐T is opened and any of the electrical components are handled, the following anti‐static precautions are strictly adhered to. Wear an anti‐static wristband: Wearing a simple anti‐static wristband can help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component. Self‐grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground. Use an anti‐static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical component, place it on an antic‐static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damage. Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges. A.1.3 Product Disposal CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by and incorrect type, only certified engineers should replace the on‐board battery. Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local regulations. Outside the European Union ‐ If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method. Within the European Union: EU‐wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) ...
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning Prior to cleaning any part or component of the TPC6000‐A2152‐T, please read the details below. Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry cloth or a slightly moistened cloth. The interior does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior. Be careful not to damage the small, removable components inside. Turn off before cleaning. Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings. Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used when cleaning. Avoid eating, drinking and smoking nearby. A.2.2 Cleaning Tools Some components may only be cleaned using a product specifically designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use for cleaning. Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of cloth is recommended. Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol should be used. Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts. Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is one of the best methods of cleaning. Dust and dirt can restrict the airflow and cause circuitry to corrode Cotton swabs ‐ Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are excellent ...

C Watchdog Timer TPC6000‐A2152 User Manual ...

NOTE: The following discussion applies to DOS environment. NODKA support is contacted or the NODKA website visited for specific drivers for more sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux. The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMIs or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, Watchdog Timer either performs a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non‐Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a known state. A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer. INT 15H: AH‐6FH Sub‐function AL – 2: Sets the Watchdog Timer’s period. BL: Time‐out value (Its unit‐second is dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer unit select” in CMOS setup). Table C‐1: AH‐6FH Sub‐function Call sub‐function 2 to set the time‐out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time‐out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. When the timer value reaches zero, the system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, calling sub‐function 2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog Timer. However, the watchdog timer is disabled if the time‐out value is set to zero. A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time‐consuming. NOTE: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system resets. Example program: INITIAL TIMER PERIOD COUNTER ; W_LOOP: MOV AX, 6F02H ; ...
