2–7

 

 

Before startup, go through the following checklist: 

• 

Have you considered the environmental conditions of the Panel PC 670/870 
and the connected peripheral devices? 

• 

Are the peripheral devices connected properly and have all the required 
presettings been made? 

• 

Have you checked the connection to the power supply? 

Risk of damage to the Panel PC 670/870! 
Ensure that no condensation is formed on or in the operating unit when 
transporting it during cold weather periods or when it is exposed to extreme 
temperature fluctuations. 
Before starting it up, the operating unit must be brought to room temperature 
slowly. In case of condensation, wait approximately 12 hours before switching 
the operating unit on. 

Before switching the operating unit on, refer to Chapters and 2.6 2.7 in respect 
of any special features to be taken into account which are dependent on the 
operating system installed and the periphery to be connected.  

After connecting the peripheral devices and the system unit, mains power can 
be applied to the Panel PC 670/870. 

Panel PC 670/870 in a centralized design:  
Connect the mains power cable to a socket with a grounding conductor or 
switch on the mains supply on the mains isolating switch. The green power 
LED lights up. 

The Panel PC 670/870 is then put into operation and the boot routine started.  

Panel PC 670/870 in a decentralized design:  
Connect the computer and operating units by means of the green connection 
cable "Cu-Link". Connect the decentralized operating unit to the mains power 
supply. The green power LED lights up. Connect the mains power cable to a 
socket with a grounding conductor or switch on the mains supply on the mains 
isolating switch. 

If there is no display signal (e.g. the "Cu-Link" plug is not connected), the 
operating unit has a "white" screen. 

The Panel PC 670/870 is then put into operation and the boot routine started.
