Frequently Asked Questions - IPC156D Gembird

How to install the operating system on the IPC156D?

The device is not shipped with a pre-installed operating system. You need to create a bootable USB drive with Windows 10 or a Linux distribution. Plug the USB drive into a USB port, turn on the computer and press F2 or Del to enter the BIOS, then select the USB drive as the boot device.

What is the cleaning procedure for the touch screen?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild screen cleaner. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never apply liquid directly to the screen; spray onto the cloth first. Disconnect the device before cleaning.

Can I use the IPC156D with gloves?

Yes, the capacitive touch screen can work with thin gloves. For industrial use with thick gloves, a resistive touch screen would be more suitable, but the IPC156D model is capacitive and responsive to light touch.

How to reset the IPC156D to factory settings?

If you have installed an operating system, the reset depends on it. For Windows, go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. For Linux, use the manufacturer's reset tool. Note that reset erases all data; back up your important files beforehand.

What to do if the screen stays black at startup?

First check that the power adapter is properly connected and the power LED is on. If the screen remains black, try connecting an external monitor via HDMI or VGA to isolate the issue. If the image appears on the external monitor, the internal screen may be defective. Contact technical support.

Can the IPC156D run continuously 24/7?

Yes, this industrial computer is designed for continuous operation. It features passive fanless cooling and robust components. However, make sure to respect ambient temperature conditions (0-50°C) and do not block ventilation openings.

How to connect the IPC156D to an industrial network?

The device has two Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ45). Connect a network cable to a switch or directly to a programmable logic controller (PLC). You can configure IP addresses in the network settings of the operating system. The ports also support common industrial protocols.

What is the lifespan of the CMOS battery?

The CMOS battery (CR2032) maintains BIOS settings. Its lifespan is about 5 to 10 years under normal operation. If the device loses system time or shows CMOS errors at startup, replace the battery by opening the case (caution: this voids warranty if not performed by an authorized technician).

Can I use the IPC156D outdoors?

The IPC156D is designed for indoor use. The front panel has an IP65 protection rating, but the back housing is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain, excessive humidity, or direct sunlight. For outdoor use, an additional protective enclosure is required.

How to make a warranty claim?

The warranty is 36 months from the date of purchase. Keep your invoice. Contact Gembird support at [e-mail] or by phone at [phone]. You will need to provide proof of purchase, model number, and a description of the defect. The manufacturer will decide to replace or repair the device.
