                • Power supply

                • Dependable and powerful
                  The industrial PCs by noax feature performance, operational reliability, and consistency.
                  noax IPCs can be used in environments where conventional computers easily break down due to continuously harsh operating conditions.

                  The power supply is essential to the secure functioning of a noax IPC. noax offers
                  accessories for our industrial PCs to guarantee permanent power supply
                  even in the most unforgiving conditions. As a result, external factors like voltage
                  fluctuations in the power grid, or a disruption in the power supply should not result
                  in a loss of data.

                  Depending on the type of noax equipment, the power for a noax IPC is supplied
                  via an external standard power supply unit that is connected to the power grid
                  and attached outside the industrial computer, or via a power supply unit built into the
                  computer that connects to the industrial PC to the power grid easily
                  using an IEC cord. For both power supply options, noax offers the customized
                  connectors based on country location. noax IPCs can also be powered
                  directly with 24 V.

                  IPCs used in a forklift or a vehicle application require a specific noax DC/DC converter
                  which transforms the voltage of the vehicle to the operating
                  voltage required for the IPC. Depending on the type of vehicle, the input voltage to the
                  DC/DC converter is between 8 and 140 V. However, the noax DC/DC converter
                  maintains the output voltage constantly at 24 V.

                  In addition, noax offers an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) so that a brief voltage
                  drop or an interruption in the power supply will not cause an impromptu
                  shutdown of the industrial PC. The UPS can bridge a power failure for up to 30 seconds
                  before it saves data or powers down the equipment, depending on the configuration.

                  noax industrial PC are able to receive power continuously even under
                  difficult conditions, and important data will not be lost.
