5. Das Gerät ist vor Feuchtigkeit zu schützen.
6. Bei der Aufstellung des Gerätes ist auf sicheren Stand zu achten. Ein Kippen oder Fallen
könnte Verletzungen hervorrufen.
7. Die Belüftungsöffnungen dienen zur Luftzirkulation die das Gerät vor überhitzung schützt.
Sorgen Sie dafür, daB diese Öffnungen nicht abgedeckt werden.
8. Beachten Sie beim. AnschluB an das Stromnetz die AnschluBwerte.
9. Verlegen Sie die NetzanschluBleitung so, daB niemand darüber fallen kann. Es sollte auch
nichts auf der Leitung abgestellt werden.
10. Alle Hinweise und Warnungen die sich am Geräten befinden sind zu beachten.
11. Wird das Gerät über einen längeren Zeitraum nicht benutzt, sollten Sie es vom Stromnetz
trennen. Somit wird im Falle einer Überspannung eine Beschädigung vermieden.
12. Durch die Lüftungsöffnungen dürfen niemals Gegenstände oder Flüssigkeiten in das Gerät
gelangen. Dies könnte einen Brand bzw. elektrischen Schlag auslösen.
13. Öffnen Sie niemals das Gerät. Das Gerät darf aus Gründen der elektrischen Sicherheit nur
von authorisiertem Servicepersonal geöffnet werden.
14. Wenn folgende Situationen auftreten ist das Gerät vom Stromnetz zu trennen und von einer

1.1 Introduction
Advantech's PPC-A84-X5X/PPC-A120-X5X is a new generation 8.4"/
12.1" LCD panel PC with NS GXm/GX1 CPU. It is specially designed
for HMI applications, such as factory , machinery automation, transportation, and health care. The PPC-A84-X5X/PPC-A120-X5X is designed
with advanced breakthrough concepts. It is a modularized PC within
aluminum die-cast housing. When installed in an open space, no fan is
required. These powerful features assist system integration, allowing
more flexibility in applications.
Die-cast housing
The completely sealed housing protects the system in tough, harsh
environments. The die-cast housing also acts as a heat sink, to
prevent the system from overheating. The front panel is compliant with
IP65 standard.
No ventilation hole
With a heat pipe for ventilation, the system’s MTBF has been extended. With no ventilation holes, the enclosure is completely sealed,
thereby protecting the system from dust
Modularized accessories
The power supply , HDD drive and PCMCIA module are easily removable for maintenance or exchange. The modularized design allows
easier and quicker replacement of accessories.
