- IP66 ingress protection
- CE, FCC
Design highlights & reliabilityRugged mechanical design with fan cooling, military‑grade shock/vibration/drop validation and sealed construction. The high‑brightness display and environmental ratings support outdoor, vehicle and multi‑shift deployments where reliability and long lifecycle availability are required.
Connectivity & expansionComprehensive I/O and modular options for industrial integration: USB 3.0 Type‑C (ALT/PD) and Type‑A ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, DB9 serial (RS‑232/RS‑422/RS‑485 software‑switchable), optional HDMI 4K output, microSDXC, nano‑SIM, GNSS (GPS/GLONASS), optional WWAN (4G/5G), Bluetooth and WLAN. MXM slot enables discrete GPU upgrades and specialized expansion modules.
Security & manageabilityTPM 2.0 available, Kensington lock, optional fingerprint scanner, smart card / HF RFID reader options and SOTI MobiControl compatibility for fleet management and remote provisioning.
Power & batteryTwo hot‑swappable 11.55V typ. 3220 mAh Li‑Ion batteries (3S1P) enable prolonged field operation; typical runtime approx. 11 hours (measured at dimmed brightness). AC adapter: 100–240V 50–60Hz, 19V DC / 230W (adapter spec may list 20V DC).
Additional notesOptional components and accessories vary by configuration (spare batteries, chargers, vehicle adapters, discrete GPUs, WWAN modules). Usable memory/storage depends on configuration. Some features require specific options or regional variants. Specifications subject to change.
