Chapter 1 - Introduction The iPC Series products are high performance embedded ultra-thin industrial computers specifically designed for harsh industrial environments including Class I & II, Division 2 Hazardous Locations. The iPC Series offers four versions with 12.1” SVGA (800 x 600), 15” XGA (1024 x 768), 17” SXGA (1280 x 1024), or 19” SXGA (1280 x 1024) LED backlit TFT Color LCD panels. A stand alone “node” version without an integrated display is also available (nPC300).
Specifications Front Panels The iPC series has NEMA 4/4X/12 sealed front panels when mounted in an appropriate NEMA rated enclosure. The front panels and required cutouts are exactly the same as the appropriate size ePC-Series or M-Series units for easy migration to the iPC-Series from the other units See Chapter 2 for more details on installation and selection of an appropriate enclosure. All four sizes have very similar front panels with different dimensions. Figure 1.
I/O Panel All four versions of the iPC series and the nPC300 have a common Input/Output configuration. Figure 2.0 shows the base configuration of the iPC-Series (not Fanless) units.

Chapter 2 - Installation of Computer Panel Mount iPC-Series Unit installation The panel mount versions of the iPC-Series are intended to be mounted in and used where NEMA 1, NEMA 4/4x and NEMA 12 type enclosures are employed. Enclosures made of heavier gauge metal work better because they won’t deform or bend as easily when the monitor’s sealing gasket is compressed.

nPC300 Unit Installation The nPC300 is intended to be mounted on the flat surface on the inside of a NEMA Type 1, 4/4x or NEMA 12 enclosure. See the specifications section for the dimensions and mounting dimensions required for mounting this unit. When selecting an enclosure remember to allow adequate space around the computer for good air flow. Do not block air flow around the unit except for the mounting surface.
Connecting Power to the iPC-Series Connecting power to the Panel Mount, Rack Mount, and nPC300 units: The iPC-Series and nPC300 units are powered from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz or optionally from 24 VDC. Damage will occur if 100-240 VAC power is connected to an iPC-Series unit equipped with the 24 VDC input power option.
NOTE: WHEN USING USB CONNECTIONS THE USE OF THE USB RETENTION BRACKET IS REQUIRED FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR NONHARDAOUS LOCATIONS. NOTE: TO PREVENT INADVERTENT DISCONNECTION OF VIDEO AND/OR SERIAL TOUCHSCREEN CABLES ASSURE THAT THE THUBSCREWS ARE SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED. WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOW TO BE FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.
Protective Cover Installation (Optional if desired) Step 1: Gather the parts of the protective cover; top shell, bottom shell, label insert, and wire tie. The picture shows wire tie (top), label insert (right), bottom shell (left), and top shell (lower right). Step 2: Insert your pre-wired connector (with the screws facing up) into the bottom shell. (See manual for cable wiring instructions).
Connecting Power to Enclosed (-EN) units: The enclosed iPC-Series are powered from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz only. Because these are stand alone Type 1 devices and do not require an additional NEMA type enclosure, a different type power connection is required. These units use a more standard IEC type power cord like found on most computers. There is a retention clip that can be utilized to help retain the cord from falling out. A US three prong cord is supplied.
Video and the Serial connections have jack screws in the connectors that can be utilized to secure your cable end to the unit. Ethernet connections have a plastic tab that prevents the connection from falling out. See the connecting power section for details on securing the power connections. In addition to the USB and HDMI Brackets there is an additional cable management bracket at the bottom of the units (N/A on iPC1200 or nPC300) that can be utilized to strain relief cables.
Drive Removal and Replacement These products are equipped with an easily removable SATA drives. They are designed so that there is no need to remove the cover on these units to change a drive. There is no reason to remove the rear cover from the unit. The drive is simply removed by loosening the two thumbscrews and pulling the drive out. Remove all power to the unit before removing the drive. There are no cables to remove when pulling the drive from the chassis.
Installing the Touch Screen Driver Software If your iPC is ordered with a touchscreen and an operating system the drivers will be pre-installed. The iPC-Series utilizes a USB connection for the touchscreen, therefore the touchscreen will only function with operating systems that can recognize and utilize USB connections. The driver included with these units functions with Windows 2000, XP, VISTA, and Windows 7.
Chapter 3. – iPC CPU and BIOS Consult the appropriate iPC-Series CPU Board User manuals for more detailed specifications of the CPU board and BIOS details. This section will concentrate on the features of the iPC-Series units that are externally accessible.
