PPC-J6412-156-C

Version 1.2

Product Overview

The PPC-J6412 series PPC-J6412-156-C is a rugged, high-quality NEMA 4X/IP65-compliant industrial panel PC. It features a 15.6” multi-point capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The PPC-J6412-156-C Industrial Panel PC is powered by Intel® Celeron® J6412 quad-core CPU and equipped with a broad range of connectivity options, allowing it to meet highly demanding application requirements in harsh industrial or outdoor environments.

A specially designed magnesium-aluminum alloy housing with fins for increased heat dissipation serves as a passive cooler, eliminating the need for built-in fans. The fan-less design reduces noise, as well as the maintenance costs and efforts, increasing reliability at the same time.

Caution

Be careful when handling the product while it is operating: the back panel might become hot under heavy CPU load.

Power Input

The PPC-J6412-156-C Industrial Panel PC can be powered by a wide range of input voltages: from 9V to 30V DC. The power input connector is a 2-pin, 3.81mm screw terminal. The polarity of the power connector is clearly labelled on the housing itself: the ‘+’ sign is the positive, while the ‘-’ sign is the negative power supply input.

The POWER button is located next to the power input connector and can be used to switch the power ON or OFF.

The power input section of PPC-J6412-156-C features a range of protection features, including over-current, over-voltage, power surge, and reverse polarity protection, allowing it to meet stringent industrial safety regulations.
