The CQ40 series is a compact, fanless in-vehicle PC with a range of processor options from Intel Celeron 2980U up to high performance Intel Core i7-4650U, with up to 8 GB RAM and dual internal SSDs with RAID support.
The CQ40 series accommodates a wide range of expansion options due to the presence of flexible I/O ports. These could take the form of 3 x RS-232 ports, or could allow simultaneous support of dual-channel CAN-bus and 1 x RS-232 – in addition to built-in GPS, Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE (with dual-SIM slots).
4-channel GPIO (2 in, 2 out) is a standard feature, along with a regulated 12V output for powering accessories. Other I/O ports include dual USB 3.0 (plus an additional USB 2.0 port), dual GbE LAN, 3 x audio ports and HDMI and DVI-I graphics supporting triple independent displays.
The fanless nature of the CQ40 series makes it suitable for extremely dusty environments, and the device’s ruggedness is demonstrated by multiple MIL-STD-810F tests. The CQ40 series has been awarded E-mark certification, making it fully approved for in-vehicle use, and carries a 2-year warranty as standard.
Intel Celeron 2980U (PC Model CQ41):
Intel Core i3-4010U (PC Model CQ43):
Intel Core i7-4650U (PC Model CQ47):
Up to 8GB DDR3L 1600 MHz.
Optional extended temperature memory, allowing PC operating temperature of -40°C to +70°C.

Extended Temperature SSDs:
2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports
HD audio with line-out, line-in & mic-in external ports
Intel HD Graphics (HD Graphics 4400 for CQ43, HD Graphics 5000 for CQ47) with HDMI & DVI-I outputs.
DVI-I provides independent VGA and DVI-D outputs via optional adapter cable, resulting in triple independent display outputs (HDMI + DVI-D + VGA).
2 x USB 3.0 & 1 x USB 2.0 ports
2 x Digital Inputs (high => 3.3V, max input 32V)
2 x Digital Outputs supporting relay switching (12V, 100 mA)
Status of inputs/outputs is monitored/controlled via software
Up to 3 x serial ports:
Note that the number of serial ports is reduced by one for each of the following features: GPS DR; each CAN channel; analogue video capture.
3 x Mini PCI Express slots
[See below for available expansion card options]
Optional built-in GPS module:
Optional built-in GPS DR (Dead Reckoning) module:
[See below for 4G modules that include GPS]

4G (with GPS) Module Specifications
Optional built-in WLAN (Wi-Fi) & Bluetooth module:
Optional 2-channel CAN interface (Standard):
Optional 1- or 2-channel CAN interface (Advanced):
Optional 1-, 2- or 3-channel CAN FD interface (Advanced):
CAN options occupy 1 x Mini PCIe slot, and each CAN channel reduces the number of serial ports by one.
Optional 8-channel video capture card:
Optional internal backup battery (UPS):
Internal intelligent automotive power supply:
Optional watchdog timer generates automatic system reset in the event of a software crash
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Other operating systems, including Windows Embedded options, are available upon request.
Integrated mounting flanges
VESA or DIN rail mounting by special request.
MIL-STD-810F (base spec, with SSD)
Passive cooling (fanless)
Width: 182* mm
Length: 168 mm
Height: 54 mm
*The width figure does not include the mounting flanges at base (total length occupied by mounting flanges: 30 mm)
1.4 kg (base specification)
Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C
Storage Temperature: -40°C to +80°C
The above temperature ranges are at base specification and with extended temperature RAM & SSD. Using standard RAM results in an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Using a standard SSD results in an operating temperature range of 0°C to +55°C. Some optional features also restrict the unit’s operating temperature range – for the operating temperature range of a specific configuration please contact us.
In common with all passively cooled (fanless) computers, the PC should be installed in a location that allows cooling air to flow freely over the chassis fins.
The above figures were measured with a base-spec CQ43 PC (i.e. CQ40 series with Core i3 processor, 4 GB RAM and 120 GB SSD).
Optional Factory Recovery Solution for easy recovery to factory settings using F11 key at start-up:
2 years RTB
Extendable to 3 or 5 years if required. Click here for more information.
Q4 2020
This is the earliest date at which we expect to stop producing new units of this PC model. However, the warranty for each PC will remain in place regardless of whether the EoL date has passed, and will continue for the duration of the original warranty period.
