Introduction

ARK-1503 Embedded IPC is an application ready system platform solution. All elec-
tronics are protected in a compact, sealed aluminum case for easy integration in the
Customer's own housing, or as a stand-alone application, where space is limited and
the environment harsh. ARK-1503 is a new model which integrates all display signals
into a 36-pin I-Panel Link connector or a golden finger connector. These integrated
interfaces contain power supply for panels, LVDS signals, Rx/Tx and USB signals for
touch panels. These integrated interface decrease cabling and facilitate the integra-
tion between embedded systems and panels.
ARK-1503 meets most application demands by offering 4 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x GbE
LAN ports, 2 x COM ports, 1 x 8-bit GPIO port and integrated display interface;
packed into a small rugged unit and powered by an Intel Atom D525/D425 1.8GHz
processor. ARK-1503 also comes with 1 x Mini PCIe interface for expansion. The
ARK-1503 Compact Embedded Computer can be equipped with a solid state
onboard CF card, so it easily passes 50 and 5 Grms shock and vibration tests. It also
can be equipped with a 2.5" SATA HDD (9.5mm height). The system is powered by
DC 12V input.
ARK-1000 can be standalone, wall-mounted, DIN-rail mounted or VESA mounted.
ARK-1000 series comes in a footprint of only 230.6 x 133.0 x 44.4 mm (9.08" x 5.24"
x 1.75"). The rugged cast aluminum case not only provides great protection from
EMI, shock/vibration, cold and heat, but also passive cooling for quiet fanless opera-
tion.
