System Overview
1.1 Introduction
Portwell Inc., a world-leading innovator in the Industrial PC (IPC) market, announced LYNX-
6000 Series system, a compact, fan-less and cable-less PC adapting low power Intel®Apollo
Lake processor. Developed to meet heavy industrial standards, the rugged design makes
sure its reliability as well as stability to work in harsh environment.
The modular design enhances the flexible of I/O demand and offers more opportunities to
fulfilled different applications. LYNX- 6000 Series is empowered by Intel® Celeron® N3350
(6W TDP), which integrates the low power the 8th generation Intel® HD Graphics
architecture. The palm-sized LYNX-6000 series includes LYNX-6110, LYNX-612E and
LYNX-612G system, and this series provides basic features which is 4GB onboard LPDDR4,
2400 MT/s, non-ECC, up to 8GB; two USB 3.0; one DisplayPort (DP) with resolution up to
3840 x 2160; two Ethernet RJ-45 LAN port; and 32GB onboard eMMC 5.0 flash, up to 256GB;
one M.2 Key E 2230 for wireless module. In addition, through the modular design,
LYNX-6000 series provides extended I/O interfaces e.g. LYNX-612E features except not only
the basic I/O but also two COM port (1x RS-232; 1 x RS-232/422/485 BIOS Configurable);
one M.2 Key B 2242; one full-size Mini-PCIe expansion. In LYNX-612G , it applies with
extended I/O interface two RS-232 COM port; four USB 2.0; one M.2 Key B 2242; one
full-size Mini-PCIe expansion.
The robust, fan-less design makes the LYNX- 6000 Series durable in harsh environment
applications, such as industrial automation, smart factory, edge computing, and IIoT
gateway applications. The rugged and compact LYNX- 6000 Series supports a temperature
range from 0ºC to 50ºC for harsh environment operation. In addition, it has already passed a
vibration test of DIN-rail mounting 1Grms/ 10~500Hz and a shock test of 15G, assuring its
solidity and reliability. In addition, the system accepts 12V-30VDC input voltage.
1.2 Check List

2.5 Getting Started
Step 1. Chassis Grounding
There is an easy-to-connect chassis
grounding point to use
Step 2.Connecting Power
This product is intended to be supplied by
a Listed Power Adapter or DC power
source, rated 10-30Vdc, 2A and Tma 50
degree C, if need further assistance, please
contact us for further information.
2.6 External Antenna installation
Included with the installed card is an antenna (1) that attaches to a connector on the
front of the unit (2). Since the LYNX-6000 Series is often installed within an enclosure, it
may be advisable to install the antenna on the exterior of the enclosure with
appropriate length antenna cable rather than directly to the IPC.
