Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST sequence.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify OS installation and boot configuration in BIOS settings. - Event ID: 200
- Hardware watchdog timeout — the system did not respond within the watchdog interval.
Check CPU load and running processes. Restart the Panel PC and investigate software causing system overload. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure detected (if applicable to variant). Cooling system not operating within specification.
Inspect and clean the fan assembly. Replace the fan module if it is not spinning or is running below rated speed. - Event ID: 400
- Supply voltage out of tolerance. The 24 V DC input voltage has dropped below or exceeded acceptable limits.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within the specified tolerance range. - Event ID: 500
- Touch screen calibration error or touch input not responding correctly.
Recalibrate the touch screen using the Windows control panel touch calibration utility. If the issue persists, inspect the touch controller connection. - Event ID: 600
- Communication interface error on Ethernet or serial port. Loss of network connectivity detected.
Check cable connections and network switch status. Verify IP configuration and driver settings within the operating system. - Event ID: 700
- Storage medium error — read/write failure on hard disk or CompactFlash card.
Run a disk check utility to identify bad sectors. Replace the storage medium if errors persist and restore the OS image from backup.

Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector to confirm it is within tolerance. Check internal fuses if accessible.
Ensure the power supply is stable and within the 24 V DC specification. Replace any blown internal fuses and verify wiring polarity at the power connector.
Display is blank or shows no image after power on
Check if the system is booting by listening for hard disk activity or observing indicator LEDs. Connect an external monitor via VGA if available to determine if the issue is with the display or the system board.
If the system boots but the display is blank, inspect the display cable connection internally. Replace the backlight inverter or TFT panel if the backlight has failed.
Touch screen input is inaccurate or unresponsive
Attempt to operate the system using a USB mouse to isolate whether the issue is with the touch controller or the software. Check Device Manager in Windows for touch controller errors.
Recalibrate the touch screen through the Windows control panel. If calibration does not resolve the issue, inspect the touch screen ribbon cable connection or replace the touch screen assembly.
System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation
Check CPU and system temperature using a monitoring utility. Review Windows event logs for hardware or software errors that occurred prior to the freeze or reboot.
Clean any air vents or filters to improve cooling. Ensure the operating system and drivers are correctly installed. If the issue persists, test the RAM modules and replace the storage medium if disk errors are found.
Ethernet communication is not established
Verify the network cable is connected and the link LED on the Ethernet port is active. Check the IP address configuration in Windows Network Settings.
Replace the network cable if the link LED is not active. Reconfigure the IP address settings to match the network requirements. Update or reinstall the Ethernet adapter driver if the adapter is not recognized in Device Manager.
