Introduction

The Explorer 15i/18i is a display with an integrated PC for installation in hazardous areas.

It is equipped with intrinsically safe communication interfaces for connection of other components such

as keyboard, mouse or barcode scanner.

Some of the interfaces and the power supply input are increased safety and accessed via an Ex e

terminal enclosure.

When the Explorer 15i/18i is correctly mounted into a min. IP6X certificated housing (with a cut out of

417mm x 328,5mm resp. 16,43“x12,94“ for Explorer 15i or 476mm x 396mm resp. 18,75"x15,6“

Explorer 18i) installation in a zone 21 is permitted.

Variants of the Explorer

The Explorer is available in two different variants:

ssembly

To ensure the ingress protection IP66 / NEMA 4X for the Explorer 15i/18i-module it must be

correctly mounted in a min. IP66 / NEMA 4X certificated housing (with a cut out of 417mm x

328,5mm resp. 16,43“x12,94“ for Explorer 15i or 476mm x 396mm resp. 18,75"x15,6“ for

Explorer 18i).

The use of the device in Zone 21 are permitted, when the Explorer 15i/18i correct mounted in a min.

IP6X approved housing (with a cut out of 417mm x 328,5mm resp. 16,43“x12,94“ for Explorer 15i

or 476mm x 396mm resp. 18,75"x15,6“ for Explorer 18i).

The Explorer 15i/18i-module is inserted into the housing cut-out with its front side to the exterior and

fastened from the inside via a minimum of 18 mounting clips which are evenly distributed over the

external circumference (for Explorer 15i) or via a minimum of 24 mounting bolts which are evenly

distributed over the external circumference secured with nuts (for Explorer 18i) in such a way that the

module is flush and tight fitting to the housing.

The electrical connections can be seen in the wiring diagram #30100358 or #30100399 and the

Ex certificate.

We recommend to use CAT7 installationcable for the connection of the ethernetinterface X53. The

ethernetinterface of the Explorer should be connected to a switch or similar device. The

datacablepairs should be drilled together and connected as short as possible to the terminals inside

the Ex e connectionbox.

Follow the safety instructions at all times.

When the evice will be mounted to a FHP-Enclosure with coupling (MB) and STF please follow

listed instructions:

1. Fix the STF pipe stand or EBF elbow stand to the floor or wall. Ensure that the floor or wall is

strong enough to take the load of the FHP enclosure system.

2. Refer to drawing 10100251 in appendix for instructions on how to fit the MB coupling that

connects the enclosure to the STF or EBF stands.

3. Using the 4 screws provided fit the FH or FHP enclosure to the MB coupling.

An earth bonding lead is pre-installed in the enclosure and connected to the main bonding stud. The

other end of this earth lead is for connection to the M6 x 20 self tapping bolt inside the STFor EBF

stand that locks the MB coupling in place. See drawing 10100251 for details.

rawings of some variants are listed in the attachment.

All housing screws, nuts and fixing brackets must be tightened evenly.

Notes

Various drivers e.g. for the graphic card or I/O interfaces can be download at

http://de.kontron.com/products/computeronmodules/etx/etxpm.html for different operating systems.

The touch screen option requires the operating system has to support USB-devices.

rivers can be downloaded at http://210.64.17.162/web20/eg/drivers.htm for each of the different

operating systems.

The RS232, RS422, RS485 Ex e interfaces require the operating system to support USB-devices.

rivers can be download at http://www.ftdichip.com/ rivers/VCP.htm (FT232B device) for each of

the different operating systems. The RS485/422 is implemented by an internal conversion of the

RS232 -Interface.

epending on how the Explorer is installed the max. ambient temperature for the complete unit may

be reduced when mounted in an additional housing.

To minimize external thermal load we recommend a all day shadowing of the device/complete unit

at direct solar radiation.

Pay attention to heat dissipation when choosing housings and the location of the installation. The

typical/maximum power consumption are 75W/120W -> 260BTU/410BTU.

Extremely low ambient temperatures can affect the display and cause it to darken slightly.

The user is solely responsible for data storage security, backup and liability for any loss of data.

The exact type of delivered device (e.g. 100-240V AC or 24V C) you can indicate via the

nameplate and the Test Report.

To ensure correct function of integrated brightness regulator the contacts X45-1 and X45-2 must be

bridged. When used a external brightness regulator or brightness sensor they have to be connected

to X45-1 and X45-2 instead of the bridge.

X45-1 and X45-2 must be wired every time.

Software installation

The Explorer will be delivered without operating system.

The USB-C / V drive must be connected to the USB interface X52 at the Ex e connection box. You

can use a USB-cable (cut and strip the cable) and connect it regarding the described terminal

connection.

The external USB-C / V drive must be powered externally.

The connection of a non intrinsically safe USB-C / V drive (or similar) to the intrinsically safe USB

interfaces X35 to X38 are not permitted.

When power on the Explorer you have to enter the BIOS by pressing “F2” during the booting

process.

You have put the “USB-C ROM” to the first boot priority in the menu “BOOT”. When you do not

see the correct name of your USB-C / V drive behind the “USB-C ROM:” (e.g „USB-C ROM:

Manufacturer abc123“) the device are not correct indicated. epend of the used USB-C / V drive

maybe helpful to connect the USB-cable not until starting the boot process or when you change the

setting „USB EHCI Host controller” (Enable/ isable) in the BIOS at “Advanced”, „I/O evice

Configuration“.

After saving the settings at the BIOS the Explorer will start from C / V (the Win XP installation C

must be in the drive). The standard installation process of Win XP can be done now.

After complete the Windows installation we recommend to install the necessary drivers. ownload

the drivers listed in the chapter “Notes” and put they to a C .

We recommend to install the drivers for the Chipset (INF-files), for the graphic card and for the

Ethernet in the listed order as minimum. Maybe restarts are necessary during the installation.

When the devices “Touch” or “RS232 Interface” (depend of the Explorer configuration) are detected

during the installation, install the driver with the drivers you downloaded previously (pay attentin

which device are detected!). epend of the operating system the “RS232 Interface” will be detected

two times. Then you have to install the driver two times.

You also can install the drivers later via the “Hardware manager”.

Additional you have to install the Touch software. Execute the file “Setup.exe” (from Touch driver

download). After installation you have to calibrate the Touch.

The installation are finished.

Ensure that you “ isable” the setting „USB EHCI Host controller” in the BIOS at “Advanced”, „I/O

evice Configuration“ for correct function with various USB-devices.

Maybe the touch will redetected again after changing this setting. Then you have to install the touch

driver again.

When you use CF-cards ensure that they operate in PIO-Transfer mode only and not in PIO/ MA-

Transfer mode. To check the setting select the used CF-card („Primary Master, Primary slave...“) in

the “Main”-menu at the BIOS. Set the “Type” to “User”. Now you can set the “Transfer Mode” to

“Fast PIO 2” for example.

After you changed the BIOS-version (e.g. BIOS update) you have to check specially the settings of

„USB EHCI Host controller” and the settings of the Transfer Mode when you use CF-cards.
