Autotex is not resistant to high pressure steam at over 100 °C or the following chemicals: Concentrated mineral acids Benzyl alcohol Concentrated caustic solution Methylene chloride Outdoor Use In common with all polyester based films Autotex F157/F207 is not suitable for use in conditions of long term exposure to direct sunlight. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
5.2.3 Autoflex EB It is recommended to use the Autoflex EB touch display protection film, that can be ordered from Beijer Electronics. Solvent Resistance Autoflex EB withstands exposure to the same chemicals as Autotex F157 or F207 according to section Autotex F157/207.
To release the flex cables from the connector, gently push the two flanges on the cable connector towards the flex cable. Note: The connectors must be unlocked on both sides before removing the cable, otherwise the flex cable may be damaged. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
Hardware Replacement Replacing the Rear Cover The following is needed: A new rear cover, see Available Spare Parts for EPC TA150 AM • A torx T10 screwdriver • Note: Make sure to use adequate ESD protection. Follow the steps below to replace the rear cover: 1.
Hardware Replacement Replacing the Display/Display Cable The following is needed: A new display/display cable, see Available Spare Parts for EPC TA150 AM • A torx T10 screwdriver • Note: Make sure to use adequate ESD protection. Follow the steps below to replace the display/display cable: 1.
6.3.1 Calibrating the Touch Screen Follow the steps below to calibrate the touch screen: A touch calibration tool is pre-installed in the EPC TA150 AM. It can be started from the desktop icon or from the Start menu. Note: Touch calibration has to be commenced within 10 seconds from when the touch screen tool was started.

Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area. A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short, thick grounding braid. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
A more elegant method is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece of unshielded Ethernet cable, see 4 in drawing above. You can ground the shield via an external 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor, see 5 in drawing above. This will connect the HF transients to the ground. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
Additional Installation Tips To Achieve Better EMC Protection Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily. • Use shielded cables for RS232 communication. • Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS422 and RS485. • Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link, •...
The loss effect drops from e.g. 25 W to only 5 W. The Panel PC’s loss effect = supply voltage x current. Virtually no power goes to external users and no loss effects due to inputs. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
Transients on the 24 V feed are connected to the ground. • No risk that the 24 V feed is at a high level in relationship to the ground. This • is not unusual since there is high static electricity. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
24 V feed, disturbances and grounding currents from the 0 V on the 24 V side will disrupt communication. Using this type of unit solves one problem but creates a larger problem! A substandard installation may work now, but problems may arise when other devices are connected. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
Set jumper pins 6-19. Use CAB8. It offers the option of bus termination with pull-up/-down. It • is also easy to connect the bus cable via the screw terminal block. See 4 in drawing above. Beijer Electronics, MAEN044...
1. Check the communication cable between the units. 2. Check the communication ports on the CPU board. The EPC TA150 AM is working but the backlight is off 1. Check the backlight dimming. 2. Check that the backlight is connected to the power card.
