anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize

ARK-3202V User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ARK-3202V offers industrial-grade, high computing power, multiple I/O and low-noise
operation for a range of in-vehicle applications.
ARK-3202V features a vehicle-friendly power design (compliant with ISO-7637-2),
wireless communications, on-board GPS receiver, in-vehicle certification (eMark),
anti-vibration and shock resistant design (MIL-810), and easy installation that speeds
up system integrators' time-to-market and reduces costs for space-critical, in-vehicle
applications.
The ARK-3202V can be used as a standalone system, wall-mounted and desktop
mounted comes in a footprint of only 220 mm x 68 mm x 200 mm (8.66" x 2.67" x
7.87"). The rugged cast aluminum case not only provides great protection from EMI,
shock/vibration, cold and heat, but also passive cooling for quiet fanless operation.
The ARK-3202V is a great platform for in-vehicle applications as it supports GPS and
wireless HSDPA communications. It also supports full HD performance with optional
VGA and DVI displays and answers the demand by offering 5 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x
Giga LAN port, audio function and 5 x COM ports packed into a small rugged unit and
powered by an Intel ATOM N270 1.6 GHz processor. The ARK-3202V Compact
Embedded IPC supports 1 x Compact Flash card for storage and 2 MiniPCIe for
expansion.
