Located on the front of the Control Panel

Scheme 678

Scheme 678: Control Panel
  1. PCMCIA interface (radio card slot in left handle)
  2. Monitor with touch capabilities
  3. Control Block
  4. Battery Compartment (in right handle)

Monitor

The surface of the monitor is covered by a touch-sensitive plastic sheet that senses the pressure of a finger or the touch pen and transfers it to the system.

Note. Use only your finger or the touch pen supplied to operate the touch screen. If other objects are used, it may damage the GT1 Screen.

Control Block

The main control block of the GT1 control panel is located under the center of the touch-screen. It consists of 1 on/off switch, 3 LEDs and the infrared receiver port. The infrared port is the connection to the wireless keyboard used during programming.

The On/Off switch is used to switch the control panel on and off or to initiate a forced switch-off. If a fault occurs that causes the unit to "lock-up", you can shut down the unit by holding down the on/off button for 5 seconds. This may cause the loss of operating software, necessitating a reinstall (use only in an emergency).

The status of the switch does not affect the charging operation.

Scheme 679

Scheme 679: Control Block

The "temperature" LED will glow red when the control panel is overheated. The control panel will shut down approximately 10 seconds later.

The "battery" LED will glow yellow during charging. It will switch off to signify the battery is fully charged. It will flash yellow if excessive temperatures continue.

The "operation" LED will glow green when using an external power source, glow orange when using the internal battery. A flashing orange LED signifies a discharged battery.

Alternately flashing orange/green LED denotes that the internal battery is defective or has been removed.

Power Supply

The control panel is supplied power from one of three voltage sources

  1. Internally from the battery (approximately 2.5 hours of operating time).
  2. Externally from the bench power unit or the docking station.
  3. Externally from the vehicle electrical system.

DVD Drive

The DVD Drive is accessible from the top of the control panel. It accommodates DVD's and CD-ROM's for installing programs, applications or updates of the control panel.

Note. When you open and close the DVD drive the control panel must be in the 14° inclination position as shown, otherwise the drive tray or the disc may be damaged.

Do not use the DVD unless the control panel is attached to the docking station.

Scheme 684

Bench Power Unit

As an alternative to the docking station, the bench power unit may be used to power the control panel. The bench power unit consists of the built in connecting cable on the control panel, the power unit itself and a separate power cable. When the control panel receives power from the bench power unit, the internal battery is simultaneously charged.

Scheme 685

Scheme 685: Optical Keyboard

Scheme 686

Scheme 686

The keyboard uses an Infrared link to communicate with the GT1 control panel. It is used only for service programs and can not be used in place of the virtual keyboard of the control panel. The keyboard must always face the control panel when in use and must be less than 1 meter away from the control panel (IR). The keyboard uses 4 AA batteries as an internal power supply.

CAUTIONOld batteries can leak and damage the keyboard. Always keep fresh batteries in the keyboard (or remove when not in use).

If more than one GT1 is in use in the workshop, the optical keyboard should be configured to a specific GT1 control panel as follows

USB/Centronics Adapter

A USB/Centronics adapter may be used to connect one of the recommended PostScript printers to the control panel or docking station to serve as a local printer.

Battery

Power is supplied by the integrated battery when the control panel is not connected to an external power source. The battery must be charged to insure uninterrupted use of the control panel as a mobile test unit. The battery is charged automatically as soon as the control panel is placed in the docking station or connected to the bench power supply. Charging time is approximately 2 hours and while the battery is being charged the "Battery" LED illuminates in yellow.

To achieve the longest possible service life for the integrated battery, it must be fully charged, then discharged for normal use. Once a month the battery should be "formed" which entails fully discharging the battery, then fully recharging it. To "form" the battery

  1. Disconnect the bench power unit from the control panel or undock from the docking station or disconnect the docking station from a power source.
  2. Fully discharge the battery, by leaving the control panel "ON" until all the LEDs are out.
  3. Dock the control panel or supply power to the docking station or connect the bench power unit.

Charging is complete when the "Battery" LED goes out.

Note. Always replace a defective battery with a new battery. Never operate the control panel with out a battery (it acts as a buffer). Sudden interruption of power my cause the control panel to loose the installed operating system.

Scheme 700

Scheme 704: Optical Testing and Programming System - OPPS

OPPS (Optical testing and Programming System) is a device that may be used instead of the Diagnostic Head as a vehicle interface for either the DISplus or GT1. When used, it replaces the Diagnostic Head. OPPS was developed to reduce the amount of time required to program E65/E66 MOST control modules by 30-60% and to diagnose the Fiber Optic communication systems MOST and Byteflight. OPPS can be connected into the MOST bus and the OBD connector simultaneously.

Refer to E65 CIP PROGRAMMING SETUP below, for details on how to connect and make use of OPPS for CIP programming. Each OPPS unit will have the Network settings for your service workshop configured when you receive it. API International has been contracted to perform this service

  1. No loading or configuring necessary upon receipt of the OPPS.

Note. OPPS is delivered with newer operating software than is available through the DISplus/GT1. Do not under any circumstances perform an OPPS software update available in "Connection Setup" or if automatically prompted by the DISplus/GT1 software until CD32. If an update is performed before CD32 the OPPS will be non-operational and must be returned for repair.

All OPPS units remain the property of BMW of North America LLC. Centers may not sell, transfer or assign any third party to use the OPPS and its software.

Cabling Setups

There are 2 different cabling setups that are addressed in this section. Each is used for E65/E66 programming and MOST/Byteflight diagnosis. Each OPPS will require 1 Network IP address and 1 wall mounted LAN receptacle. API has acquired the additional IP address (es) for each center.

If upon receiving your OPPS the workshop has a sufficient number of LAN receptacles, use cable setup #2. If the workshop does not have a sufficient number of wall mounted LAN receptacles, use cable setup #1. The following is an overview of the 2 different cabling setups.

  1. Cable setup #1 This setup should be used if the OPPS is operated independent of the workshop network.
  2. Cable setup #2 This setup should be used if the OPPS is operated on the workshop network.

Cable Setup #1 - To Be Used If The Network Is Not Operational (Using GT1)

This setup may be used temporarily if the network is not operative, there are not enough LAN wall drops or network IP addresses are in conflict. The vehicle is direct wired to the OPPS and the GT1, which is direct wired to the printer via the USB A/B cable (1 piece supplied to every center with the first GT1 delivered). The USB printer cable can stay attached to the printer even if the printer is working on a network. The printer configuration must be changed to "Local printer" in the GT1.

Note. This setup requires a direct USB cable connection to the printer. This greatly limits GT1 mobility and will not allow the update of diagnostic programs via the network, which will be available as of the third quarter of 2002. It should only be used as an exception for the reasons stated above. This setup may also be used for E65/E66 programming.

GT1 Wired to OPPS (Setup #1)

Scheme 707

Scheme 707: Cable Setup #1 - To Be Used If The Network Is Not Operational (Using GT1)
