Panel PC suitable for outdoor applications
Impulse
Fox panel PC
Impulse has announced the introduction of a multi-purpose, industrial, waterproof, IP65-certified panel PC that fits into a variety of applications and weather conditions.
The Fox series from Aaeon Technology features sunlight-readable touch screens, wide viewing angle and brightness control LCD display and integrated wireless LAN and GPS with internal antennas for real-time data exchange and navigation.
The Fox-150/120 models adopt the Intel Low Power Celeron M Processor (600MHz or 1.5GHz) and on-board 256/512MB system memory (up to 1GB).
Networking requirements are met via the optional Intel 82562 Ethernet chip along with a 10/100Base-TX waterproof RJ-45 connector.
All the connectors outside the Fox-150/120 are waterproof (M12 screw type with IP67 rating).
The system has no ventilation and it is completely dust and water resistive.
With its heat-conductive, aluminium-based enclosure, the Fox guarantees high reliability over long periods of operation.
In addition, the Fox-150/120 is a sealed IP65-certified system, allowing it to be chemically washable and free from corrosion.
The streamline yet functional design of the enclosure also increases the ability of liquids to run off the case effectively.
The Fox series also utilises a low reflectance touch screen bundled with a high clarity 450cd/m TFT LCD panel enhancing the model's readability under sunny outdoor conditions.
The Fox-150/120 is also fanless and virtually noiseless.
Another feature of the Fox series is the day and night display modes.
The day mode is for use in sunlight-viewable environments and the night mode is primarily for power-saving and vehicle safety purposes.
Support for both Windows XP and XP Embedded is assured and Impulse can assist with installation of the operating systems along with standard or custom XPe images available via its in-house software support engineers.
The Fox-150/120 is ideal for applications that have critical demands such as the food, medical and transport industries where water, chemicals, and other liquids are often involved.
In addition, the Fox-150/120 is an ideal choice for any outdoor application requiring both protection and enhancement of use from the environment it is located in.
