Quick Reference

Introduction

The VRC 5000 is a rugged, NEMA 4/IP66, PC-compatible

computer. The VRC 5000 is available with or without a

touchscreen, and a heater. The VRC 5000 provides a full VGA

display (either electroluminescent or color LCD), multiple network

options and full I/O capability. Each VRC system is fully PC-

compatible with the MS-DOS Versions 3.3 through 6.22,

Windows®3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95 and

Windows NT operating systems.

There are two models available. Unless specifically stated, the term

VRC 5000 refers to both models:

• The VRC 5000 is a fixed-mounted terminal that can be hard-

wired to a local area network (LAN) using Ethernet connec-

tions. It can also be equipped with wireless (RF) network

communications where a hard-wired LAN is not practical.

• The VRC 5040 is designed for a vehicular-mounted applica-

tion. It is powered from the vehicle’s battery through a power

converter. It uses Symbol’s Spectrum 24 2.4 GHz spread-spec-

trum radio link to communicate with (RF) network access

points hard-wired into the LAN. Antenna options include

patch and “rubber duck” types.

Quick Reference

Parts of the VRC 5000

Front Panel

The VRC front panel consists of a gasketed resistive touchscreen

mounted over a flat-panel video display. The VRC can be operated

by touching the screen to activate functions and initiate actions.

All touchscreen/display combinations operate in a similar manner.

The type of display provided in your particular VRC model is

matchedto the specific requirementsof your application, including

ambient lighting, available viewing angle and environmental

extremes.

Rear Panel

All cabled connections to the VRC are made through the rear panel,

with the exception of the RF connection in wireless communication-

equipped systems. Located on the rear panel are a RESET button, a

power connector, a parallel I/O connector, and one serial I/O

connector. Also located on the rear panel is a connector for an

external keyboard, and a network connection.

Quick Reference

Basic Operation

Power-Up

Before powering up the VRC for the first time, be sure the terminal

is securely mounted, and that all cable and peripheral connections

are securely attached.

Caution: In freezer applications, do not start the VRC 5000 with

color display in the cold environment. This can damage

the fluorescent bulbs.

• To power up the VRC 5000, plug the wall-mounted power

supply into a surge-protected 110VAC outlet.

Caution: ToeliminatepotentialdamagetotheVRC5000,remove

the powersupply from the wall outlet before connecting

or disconnecting the power supply to the rear panel.

• To power up the VRC 5040, turn the DC power converter

ON/OFF switch to ON.

The VRC powers up immediately when power is applied, and

performs the following steps:

1. The VRC conducts a power-on self-test, runs the hardware

initialization program, and then boots DOS. (If your system

does not boot, or does not have a factory-installed version of

DOS, refer to Installing the DOS Operating System in the

VRC 4000/5000 Product Reference Guide.)

2. The VRC processes the config.sys and autoexec.bat start-up

files from the boot drive, typically the Flash Drive (C:\).

3. When the boot process is completed, the C:\ prompt displays

on the screen.

4. If Windows is installed, the system loads the Windows graph-

ical user interface.

VRC 5000

PCMCIA cards appear as unique drives under the VRC operating

system. Their drive designation depends on the particular card and

the PCMCIA slot in which it is installed. See the VRC 4000/5000

Product Reference Guide for more information.

Booting the VRC 5000

If the VRC 5000 locks up during normal operation, it can be reset

by performing a warm or cold boot. The type of boot depends on

the desired state of the VRC system.

Warm Boot

Perform a warm boot when you need to clear the system’s memory

to run another program, or do not want the computer to perform a

self-test. You must have a keyboard or keyboard emulator

previously attached to the system to perform a warm boot.

To perform a warm boot:

1. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL on the keyboard or keyboard emulator

on the touchscreen. This causes the system to reprocess the

config.sys and autoexec.bat files.

2. Reload the desired software application, if necessary.

Cold Boot

Perform a cold boot when the screen is frozen or the system is

otherwise locked up. The cold boot is a power-up sequence.

• To cold boot the VRC 5000, remove the power supply from

the walloutlet, then reinsert it, OR push the RESET buttonon

the rear panel.

• To cold boot the VRC 5040, turn off the power ON/OFF

switch on the DC power converter, then turn it back on, OR

push the RESET button on the rear panel.

Quick Reference

Touch-Based Applications

The VRC 5000 is available in both touchscreen and standard (non-

touchscreen)models.Fortouch-basedapplications,thevideoscreen

displays graphical icons whose corresponding functions are

activated when touched by a user. Touch-based applications can be

divided into two different categories:

• Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications, based on a GUI

operating system, such as Windows

• DOS-based applications.

For GUI applications, a“mouse-like” touch driver allows standard

applications to be executed. However, for ease of use, applications

should:

• use only one button

• avoid double-clicks whenever possible

• keep touch targets large (for example, scroll bars are very dif-

ficult to see).

Withtheseprovisions, applicationscanbedevelopedusingstandard

tools and practices including Visual C++, Visual Basic, etc.

Touch-based applications are composed of an application program,

a touch library, and a graphics library. Each of these is described in

detail in the VRC 4000/5000 Product Reference Guide.

VRC 5000

Troubleshooting

Following is a checklist of common problems and their potential

solutions.

Initial Checklist

Perform an initial check of the VRC unit as follows:

1. Check the unit for any signs of exterior damage.

2. Check and reseat all rear panel cable connections.

3. Be sure the VRC is receiving operating power:

VRC 5000

- Check the circuit breakers feeding the 110VAC wall outlet

supplying power to the VRC.

- Makesurethewall-mountedpowersupply isfirmly seated

in the wall outlet.

- If a surge protector is installed between the wall-mounted

power supply and the wall outlet, make sure that if it has

an ON/OFF switch, that it is on, and that any fuses or cir-

cuit breakers on the surge protector have not blown or

tripped.

VRC 5040

- Be sure the vehicle’s battery is not dead.

- Verify that the ON/OFF switch on the DC power convert-

er is on.

- Reseatthe connectorson boththepowerinputandoutput

cables on the DC power converter.
