All-Weather Products Now Available -
Choose From Monitor with Mobile Computer or Monitor Only Models

Rain or shine the X-series all-weather products by VarTech will not let you down. In many industrial environments, monitors are exposed to a variety of weather conditions and must be able to perform well in all these conditions. In direct sunlight or the dark of night VarTech's new IP68 All-Weather Fully Submersible series monitors will provide a consistently clear image. Low-Power bright 700 to 1200 nits (cd/m2) PASSIVELY enhanced panels are a standard feature making the units an unparallel solution for high ambient lighting conditions.

Following strict IP68 (NEMA 6P) guidelines, this series has been designed for extreme conditions and is completely sealed to protect the unit from water, oil, dirt and other contaminants. Intended for indoor or outdoor usage, the new All-Weather series provides an exceptional degree of protection against hose-directed water, the entry of water during prolonged submersion, and the damage from external ice formation.

This product's solid milled aluminum design is both rugged and visually pleasing making it suitable for use in the most challenging environments. The front mounted on/off, dimming and setup control adjusts the display for ultimate operator viewing. For added convenience you may choose to equip your All Weather flat panel with a resistive touch screen to simulate mouse controls. The touch panel has been engineered to operate even in dirty or wet conditions. Mounting is accomplished via a shock resistant adjustable ball (RAM) mount, or it can be bolted directly to a console. This All-Weather series is designed to operate over a very wide temperature range (0 to 60C) with optional heaters for -40 to +60C operation. This product line is ideally suited for industrial, marine, mobile, generator powered or fixed mount applications.

15" Enclosed VESA Mount Monitor and Computer -
Model VT150ESCHBU

The VT150ESCHBU is a fully enclosed all-in-one NEMA 4X and military/marine grade monitor and computer that has been proven to perform under harsh computing environments. Engineered for the toughest real world environments, such as, industrial production areas, outdoor kiosks and public terminals, this high tech system has been designed to maintain an extraordinary luminance level of 1500 nits (cd/m²).

Military Tested. This system has passed harshed military test according to guidelines set by MIL-STD-901-D, MIL-STD-167-1 and MIL-STD-461

Nothing gets under its skin. Since there are no external vents, there is no way for dust, dirt, moisture, oil or other contaminants to get inside the systems casing. A hard anodized aluminum heat exchanger and internal heat management system keep it cool in areas where ambient heat temperature can reach 50C -- without using outside air.

Easy Access. The VT150ESCHBU is designed with upgrades in mind. A latched panel provides simple access. The moderate weight and dimensions allow for a variety of mounting options. The touch screen allows for freedom from as standard mouse or keyboard, however, both items may be added.

Computer SPECS.

VT150ESCHBU SPECS

Class 1, Division 1 & Division 2 Solutions

VarTech supports workstations that are developed according to Class 1 Div 1 and Div 2 specifications. These systems are NEMA 4X rated, dust proof, water proof, corrosion resistant and able to withstand extreme temperature ranges. By design these system perform well under a variety of shock and vibration conditions.

Airtight to promote safety. All Div 1 workstations are equipped with sophisticated closed-loop thermal management system that utilizes a bi-planar finned, anodized aluminum heat exchanger to keep the computer's internal operating temperatures low. VarTech's rugged Purged series operator interface systems allow for the placement of totally enclosed hardened computers into areas Classified as hazardous (explosive). Intrinsically safe, this purging (pressurization) approach ensures that there will always be a continuous clean air-flow out of the enclosure thereby preventing the intrusion of explosive gasses or dust into the enclosure. Shock and vibration isolation is provided at two levels -- on the chassis and in the drive bay -- for protection in severe vibration environments. An integrated intrinsically safe keyboard is used with all Division 1 products. Div 2 systems include a non-incendive keyboard.

Guaranteed Reliability. The Div 1 and Div 2 workstations will perform smoothly and efficiently in environments where other computers have failed. The tough enclosure was designed to ensure these systems perform well in hazardous environments.

Class 1, Division 1 or Division 2 - What's right for me?

Class 1, Division 1 and Division 2 equipment are required for use in hazardous areas. Class 1, Div 1 guidelines are more stringent and in force in several situations. Using compliant lcd monitors, computers and workstations is necessary where any of the following hazardous Class 1, Division1 conditions exist.

All the conditions above outline Class 1, Div 1 environments and all electrical equipment used in these areas including lcd flat panel monitors, computers and workstations must be either explosionproof, purged and pressurized or intrinsically safe according to Class 1, Div 1 standards.

Unlike Class 1, Div 1 equipment, Class 1, Division 2 conditions do not allow for ignitable gases and vapors to be present as a part of the normal working environment. Class 1, Div 2 procedures are in force in any of the following environments,

In Class 1, Div 2 environments the lcd flatpanel monitor must be explosionproof, purged and pressurized or intrinsically safe according to Class 1, Division 2 standards. In Div 2 conditions you are not required to have an enclosed mouse and keyboard because it is deemed that they are not capable of producing a spark above ignition temperatures.
