onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

1.1 Introduction
The IPPC-8151S is designed with a fully sealed stainless steel enclosure
and uses a special tapered & food safe rubber seal between the bezel and
the touchscreen. This allows it to satisfy the stringent standards required
in food processing, clinical, chemical or pharmaceutical laboratories. Its
fully enclosed design without ventilation slots and external fans makes its
completely protected against splashed water, achieving a NEMA4 (IP66)
grade of protection.
IP66 Grade Protection
The IP66 rating guarantees waterproof and dustproof protection, ensuring
reliable operation in any hazardous environment. Front model to support
front IP66 protection grade. All-around model supports IP66 protection
grade for all sides including I/O
Anti-corrosive Chassis with Chemical Resistant Touchscreen
Stainless steel chassis' are a great fit for many industrial applications due
to their ability to minimize contamination and maintain strict hygienic
requirements. 316L stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion than 304,
and IP66 protection provides waterproof protection, making them easy to
clean or disinfect even with high pressure water. Furthermore the dust-
proof capabilities make them exceptionally suitable for applications in
hazardous environments. The FDA Food-Standard Sealing Materials
meet high hygienic requirements and the touchscreen is resistant to chem-
ical, detergents and disinfectants.
High Performance, Fanless Design
IPPC-8151S is equipped with a 15" LCD screen and a bright and sharp
display. The embedded Intel Celeron M 1GHz, 1MB L2 cache and 1GB
DDR2 memory satisfy most application computing needs. The fanless
design extends operation life, with enhanced anti-shock and anti-vibra-
tion properties suitable for harsh environments. Furthermore, with one
CompactFlash slot, one PCI expansion and one SATA HDD, IPPC-8151S
provides flexibility and meets high capacity demands.
