Arestech PPC-Z193 19" Intel Pentium N4200 Stainless Steel Panel PCs with IP66/IP69K

A computer on a washdown line is hosed with the rest of the equipment, often with hot water at high pressure and cleaning chemicals, so every seam, bezel edge and connector has to keep water out. The Arestech PPC-Z193 series is built for that routine: a family of 19 inch fanless stainless steel panel PCs in 316 grade stainless steel with a completely flat front, sealed to IP66 and IP69K as a whole unit, with every external connection on a sealed connector.

Every PPC-Z193 shares the same build. It has two DDR3L-1866 SO-DIMM sockets for up to 8 GB, an M.2 2242 SATA socket, two GbE ports on Intel i211AT controllers and two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, with one RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485 port, a VGA output on M12 for a second screen. A full-size Mini-PCIe socket with a SIM slot takes optional 4G and Wi-Fi modules, which ship with IP66 antennas, and operating system support covers Windows 10 IoT or Professional and Linux. The display is a 350 nit SXGA LCD at 1280 x 1024 with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles.

The PPC-Z193 series offers the PPC-Z193P-B6A1 (Pentium N4200, PCAP) and the PPC-Z193R-B6A1 (Pentium N4200, 5-wire resistive). Projected capacitive touch has a 7 Mohs surface, 90% transparency and a touch on/off button for cleaning, and 5-wire resistive touch works with gloves and is rated for 36 million touches.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on an M12 connector with AT and ATX power modes, and an optional 12 V, 60 W M12 power supply is available. The 19″ panel PC is fanless and operates from -20 °C to 60 °C at 5 to 95% humidity with extended-temperature memory and storage fitted. It is shock-tested to 20 G under IEC 60068-2-27 and vibration-tested from 5 to 500 Hz at 2.16 Grms, and carries CE and FCC Class A marks. An SS316 pressure balance element stops condensation forming inside the sealed enclosure. It measures 499 x 420 x 66.9 mm, weighs 10 kg and mounts on 75 x 75, 100 x 100 and 200 x 100 mm VESA, a yoke or a wall mount. Our white paper on 304 vs 316 grade stainless steel covers why 316 suits chloride-based cleaning, and our FAQ on what IP69K means explains the washdown test behind the rating.
