SPECIAL APPLICATION

INSTALLING YOUR CP450

6

The installation and setup steps may be performed concurrently in order to save time.

At the time of purchase, determine if the CP450 will be mounted on a stand, wall, or panel. The mounting stand or brackets can be purchased from

ALTINEX.

NOTE: The mounting holes on the rear of the units are VESA standard. The 7-10 inch models use 75x75 mm spacing, the 15-19 inch models use 100x100 mm, and the 12 inch has both.

INSTALLATION

Step 1. Determine the best location for installing the CP450. At a minimum, the CP450 will require AC power for its power adapter.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

∙If the CP450 will control RS-232 equipment directly from its serial ports, RS-232 cables must be routed to the devices.

∙If the CP450 will connect to the network, LAN access and network cables are required.

∙Make sure there is access to the USB ports. The USB ports are accessible from the bottom of the unit and should not be blocked by mounting hardware, cables, etc.

Step 2. Route all cables required for the CP450 to the installation locations. Make sure the cables are long enough to allow for service loops and to be routed neatly to their destinations.

Step 3. Have qualified personnel install the mounting brackets (or other hardware) for the CP450.

SETUP

Step 1. Prepare the control software using your normal software development station. The CP450 is not required. We recommend using AVSnap as the control software. It is free, easy to use, and has many features designed for use with the CP450.

Step 2. Debug the control software using the device for which it was written. The CP450 is a normal computer and its COM and LAN ports work the same as a desktop computer.

Step 3. When the control software is complete, copy all necessary files to a USB drive.

Step 4. Connect the power adapter provided with the CP450 to AC power and then to the CP450.

Step 5. The CP450 boots automatically and launches a MultiTouch demo written in AVSnap. You can view the demo, or escape out of AVSnap and return to the desktop.

Step 6. Install the USB drive into the CP450 and copy the files over to the “C” drive. If any application software is required, install it at this time. Once all the software has been installed, close all open applications and run the COMMIT batch file located on the desktop. This will commit the changes made to the internal drive.

NOTE: If an installation wizard requests a restart to complete the installation, answer NO. The COMMIT batch file must be run first.

Step 7. Restart the CP450 and verify all the changes are present. Place a shortcut to the new control software into the startup folder and remove the AVSnap demo. Run the COMMIT batch file again and restart the CP450.

Step 8. The unit is now operational. Verify the CP450 boots up and automatically launches the control software.
