July 20, 2008 - VarTech releases a 10.4-in. fully-enclosed IP66 (NEMA 4X) LED-enhanced, sunlight readable, Computer/LCD with ruggedized touch screen with extended operational temperature capabilities
VTPC104ECHB is ideal for harsh outdoor applications where weather and high ambient lighting is a common factor. This NEMA 4X(IP66) fully enclosed 1.0 GHz fanless HMI computer system is equipped with a true 800 nits (cd/m2) high-bright LCD engineered with solid state LED backlighting. It has a native XGA resolution and ultra-wide 178° viewing angles from all sides. The VTPC104ECHB has extremely wide operational temperature capabilities of -20°C to +55°C with an optional -40°C to 60°C range.
The VTPC104ECHB offers an Armor Touch touch screen. Armor Touch is VarTech’s innovative new touch screen sensor. Advanced materials engineering has produced an incredibly durable and flexible glass/polymer laminate which when combined with conventional resistive technology results in a sensor that overcomes the profound deficiencies of all other touch sensors available today. The Armor Touch is then optically bonded to the front of the LCD with anti-reflective field & UV protection.
The core computer of the VTPC104ECHB is a single board system with a fan-less Intel Celeron M 1.0GHz CPU, 1GB DDR266 SO-DIMM of memory, a Solid State 8GB hard drive (optional up to 120GB), and Windows XP Pro operating system. The VTPC104ECHB has five IP68 rated gasket sealed input/output connections including 1 power, 1 RS232, 1 LAN, 1 USB, and another connection of the customer’s choice.
The VTPC104ECHB is housed in a 316 stainless steel, gasket sealed VESA mountable NEMA 4X enclosure with MIL-STD-810F environmental protection. It has EMI/EMC protection in compliance with FCC Class B with optional MIL-STD-461E available. The VTPC104ECHB offers optional shock and vibration military compliances as well as other military and marine grade protection ratings.
