CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
The PCH5120 is a waterproof, IP67 compliant panel PC. The PCH5120 can be submerged to 1 m
and peripheral devices can be connected by using the waterproof M12 connectors on the rear panel.
The PCH5120 is designed for environments with extreme amounts of dust and water. The waterproof
design is not only for wet environments but for any place where a lot of dust and water can compro-
mise a typical panel PC.
Storage needs are met by installing a SATA hard drive or a CompactFlash® card. CompactFlash®
cards with Windows CE 6.0, Windows XPE or Linux are also available.
Wireless networking is enabled through a 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter. Wired options are always
available through M12 connectors on the rear panel, with serial ports and USB ports for peripherals
and a Gigabit Ethernet slot for networking.
