What Is The Eclipse Workstation?
Care and Handling
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The occurrence of electrostatic discharge (ESD) usually takes the form of a discharge
from the operator's hand to cash drawers, the workstation, the magnetic stripe card
reader or other peripherals connected to the workstation.
ESD is more common in dry climates during the winter, and less common in moist
climates. The Eclipse has excellent built-in immunity to ESD in most environments.
However, tile or anti-static carpet should still be employed in areas near the
workstation.
Temperature and Humidity
The PCWS Eclipse operating temperature is between 40°F and 113°F (5°C to 45°C),
if the Celeron C850 MHz processor is installed.
The PCWS Eclipse operating temperature is between 40°F and 104°F (5°C to 40°C),
if the Pentium III 1GHz processor is installed.
A constant humidity between 40% and 90% is required for proper operation of the
equipment.
Before applying power to the workstation, ensure that its temperature is within 15°F
(8°C) of room temperature to prevent damage to its internal circuitry.
Transporting the Workstation
When a hard disk is installed, always power down the Eclipse workstation before
transporting it, even if you are just moving it across your work surface. High density
hard drives are more susceptible to damage if subjected to a sudden physical shock
while they are operating, especially if the heads happen to be reading or writing to the
disk surface. Powering off the workstation parks the hard disk heads, allowing you to
move it without risking damage.
Cleaning The Eclipse Touchscreen and Cabinet
Instructions for cleaning the Eclipse Cabinet and LCD/Touchscreen are described
below.
LCD/Touchscreen
You can clean the touchscreen with any common household glass cleaner applied with
a clean cotton cloth. Always spray the cloth with the cleaner and then use the cloth to
clean the touchscreen.
Cabinet
Always use a chamois or clean lint-free cloth to clean the cabinet and touchscreen
surface. Do not use chemical, alcohol, or petroleum based cleaners that are not
recommended for plastics.
