Installation instructions

Transportation

Despite the robust design, the built-in components are sensitive to strong vibrations and shocks. Therefore, protect your touch PC from high mechanical stress during transport. Use the original packaging for shipping.

Attention| Risk of damage to the device

When transporting the device in cold weather or if the device is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, make sure that no moisture (condensation) condenses on or in the device.
Allow the device to slowly adjust to room temperature before putting it into operation. If there is condensation, the unit may only be switched on after a waiting period of about 12 hours.

---|---

---|---
CAUTION| Fire or smoke
If the appliance catches fire or starts smoking, immediately unplug the
appliance and then extinguish with powder or nitrogen.

Driver installations

In order to fully utilize all functions of the faytech touch PCs, it is recommended to download the required drivers from the faytech website in the download section (www.faytech.com/downloads/).

Drivers available on our website for this product series:
– Apollo Lake Mainboard Drivers (N4200 / N3350) – Windows 10

Operating instructions

Initial power-up and driver installation

To turn the unit on, press the power button on the back or side of the unit. When you turn on the Touch
PC for the first time, the pre-installed operating system (Linux or Windows) will start.

Attention| First shut down, then switch off
If the Touch PC is switched off while the software is writing a file to the hard disk, this file will be destroyed. Control software usually writes something to the hard disk on its own at intervals of a few seconds, so the probability of causing damage by switching off while the software is running is very high.
---|---

To get the most out of your device, you must download the correct drivers for your device. You can find these drivers on the website under Downloads: www.faytech.com/downloads. This series uses the Apollo Lake mainboard and therefore requires the appropriate drivers.

BIOS settings

In the following, the most important BIOS settings are explained. Please note that the BIOS is a special BIOS for integrated monitor PC solutions. Accordingly, after adjustments in the BIOS, you may not be able to see an image on your touch PC screen. For this reason, only experienced users should make changes to the BIOS. If the system is adjusted, proceed as follows: Press “Del” on a connected keyboard (even if you do not see an image) until you are sure that you are in the BIOS. Then press F5, Enter, F10, Enter. The system will reboot and you should have a picture on your monitor again.

Note| Linux Preinstalled
If a current Ubuntu is preinstalled on your Touch-PC with integrated SSD, the username is “User” and the password is “user123”.
If you want to change the password, open a terminal. Type “sudo su”, “enter”. The password is still “user123”. Then “passwd user” and enter the new password.
---|---

Troubleshooting

No image

1. First, check whether the power supply is correctly connected and working (green LED on power supply unit)
2. When installing new graphics card drivers, the BIOS might be changed and no boot screen is visible. Wait for one to two minutes until Windows is loaded.
3. Connect an external keyboard via USB and check whether the Num-Lock LED of the Keyboard lights up (press Num-Lock). If this lights up, there is usually only an incorrect BIOS. Turn off the computer again, restart it, and press “Del” until you are sure that you are in the BIOS. Set the graphics options in the BIOS according to the Chapter BIOS Settings.
4. If none of the above points leads to success, please contact our direct Manufacturer service, under the contact details given below.

The touch function is not accurate

1. Please download the latest touch drivers from our website www.faytech.com and perform a recalibration to recalibrate the touch screen.

FAQs

How do I connect the touch display to the appropriate power supply?

All displays have an external power supply. Therefore you have two possibilities: You can use the 12V DC power supply unit or the 230V power supply unit which are included in the scope of delivery.

The touch function does not work properly, what can I do?
If you have problems with the touch, please check if the driver and all cables are installed correctly. Otherwise, the most common error is caused by the protective foil on the touch display. Please remove the protective foil to get the best possible use out of the display.

Does the touch functionality affect the image quality?
No, the touch panel is transparent and non-reflective. So you will not notice the additional panel.
