Reulatory Compliance and Safety nformation
This document provides international regulatory and safety compliance information for the Logic
Supply Rugged Fanless PC model K300 computer system. This information also covers models
xxxxxK300xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (where x is any alphanumeric character, “-” or blank designating confi guration
diff erences).
Safe use and installation instructions
1. Do not open or modify the device. This device uses components that comply with FCC and CE
regulations. Modifi cation of the device may void these certifi cations.
2. Install the device securely. Be careful handling the device to prevent injury and do not drop.
3. Wall or ceiling mounting device requires use of a mounting plate or bracket. Plate or bracket must be of
metal construction and have a minimum thickness of 1mm.
4. Use M3x0.5mm Flat Head screws to attach mounting plate or mounting brackets to threaded holes on
bottom or rear of chassis. Screws should be minimum length of 4mm. Add 1mm of screw length for
every millimeter of additional thickness of plate or bracket beyond 1.5mm.
5. Ambient operating temperature must be between -25°C to 70°C with a non-condensing relative
humidity of 10-90%. Operational temperature is dependent on component selection including power
adapter. See Table 1 below for derating.
6. The device can be stored at temperatures between -40°C to 85°C.
7. Keep the device away from liquids and fl ammable materials.
8. Do not clean the device with liquids. The chassis can be cleaned with a cloth.
9. Allow at least 2 inches of space around all sides of the device for proper cooling. If device is mounted
to vertical surface then recommended device orientation is so that heatsink fi ns allow air to rise
unobstructed. Alternative orientations may result in reduced operational temperature range.
10. This device is intended for indoor operation only.
11. Use UL Listed external power supply with rated output 9-36V DC.
12. Install the device only with shielded network cables.
13. Service and repair of the device must be done by qualifi ed service personnel. This includes, but is not
limited to, replacement of the CMOS battery. Replacement CMOS battery must be of the same type as
original.
14. Proper disposal of CMOS battery must comply with local governance.
WARNING: There is danger of explosion if the CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly. Disposal of
battery into fi re or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery can result in an
explosion.

Précautions et guide d’installation
1. Ne pas ouvrir ou modifi er l’appareil. L’appareil utilise des composants conformes aux réglementations
FCC et EC. La modifi cation de l’appareil peut annuler ces certifi cations.
2. Installez l’appareil en toute sécurité. Soyez prudent lors de la manipulation de l’appareil pour éviter les
blessures et ne pas faire tomber.
3. Le montage au mur ou au plafond nécessite l’utilisation d’une plaque de montage ou d’un support. La
plaque ou le support doit être en métal et doit avoir une épaisseur minimale de 1 mm.
4. Utilisez des vis à tête plate M3x0,5mm pour fi xer la plaque de montage ou les supports aux trous fi letés
situés au bas ou à l’arrière du châssis. Les vis doivent avoir une longueur minimale de 4 mm. Ajoutez
1 mm de longueur de vis pour chaque mm d’épaisseur supplémentaire de plaque ou de support
dépassant 1,5 mm.
5. La plage de températures de fonctionnement doit être de -25 °C à 70 °C avec une humidité relative de
10 à 90% sans condensation. La température de fonctionnement dépend du choix du composant, y
compris de l’adaptateur d’alimentation. Voir le tableau 1 ci-dessous pour le déclassement.
6. La plage de températures de stockage doit être de -40 °C à 85 °C.
7. Gardez l’appareil à l’écart des liquides et des matières infl ammables.
8. Ne nettoyez pas l’appareil avec des liquides. Le châssis peut être nettoyé avec un chiff on.
9. Laissez au moins 5 cm d’espace autour de tous les côtés de l’appareil pour un refroidissement correct.
Si l’appareil est monté sur une surface verticale, l’orientation recommandée est telle que les ailettes
du dissipateur de chaleur permettent à l’air de monter sans obstruction. Les orientations alternatives
peuvent entraîner une réduction de la plage de température de fonctionnement.
10. Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour une utilisation en intérieur.
11. Utilisez une alimentation externe listée UL avec une sortie nominale de 9-36V DC.
12. Installez l’appareil uniquement avec des câbles réseau blindés.
13. L’entretien et la réparation de l’appareil doivent être eff ectués par du personnel qualifi é. Cela inclut,
sans toutefois s’y limiter, le remplacement de la batterie CMOS. La batterie CMOS de remplacement doit
être du même type que l’originale.
14. La mise au rebut des batteries usagées doit être réalisée conformément aux réglementations
environnementales.

1.2 - Highlights
Karbon 300 is designed for use as an industrial or mobile gateway, automation PC, workstation or digital
media device, Karbon 300’s all-metal chassis measures just 154 x 56 x 119 mm and can be wall, VESA or DIN
rail mounted. The system is powered by either an Intel® Apollo Lake Atom E3930 Dual-Core, or E3950 Quad-
Core processor. Connectivity includes 3x LAN with optional Power over Ethernet (PoE+), dual DisplayPorts,
dual RS-232/422/485 COM ports, 4x USB 3.0, integrated CAN bus and DIO. Available wireless options include
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, 4G LTE and LTE Cat M1. Expansion and storage can be confi gured via two M.2 slots and
one mPCIe slot. The system is available with 4 or 8 GB of onboard high-speed LPDDR4 memory. OS options
include multiple versions of Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux.
Karbon 300 can be confi gured with an Intel Movidius Vision Processing Unit (VPU) to accelerate machine
vision algorithms and enable AI and machine learning applications. Integrated hardware TPM provides Root
of Trust data security to help protect sensitive information and integrated Consumer Electronics Control
allows Karbon 300 to control connected displays in digital signage, kiosk or entertainment installations.
To meet the demands of extreme computing environments, Karbon 300 is tested according to IEC 60068-
2-27 and IEC 60068-2-64 procedures for shock and vibration. EMC, shock and vibration performance also
meets the in-vehicle UNECE Reg.10 E-mark and rolling stock EN50155 standards. The system is CE and
FCC compliant. A wide input voltage rating, operating temperature range of -25~70°C (-13~158°F) and
automotive ignition power sensing capability make the system well-suited to in-vehicle and other mobile
installations.
The Karbon 300 rugged fanless computer has been engineered to help innovators overcome the limitations
of deploying reliable computer hardware in challenging environments.
