How much memory does the HID-2146 support?

It uses two 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets running up to 5600MHz, supporting up to 96GB total. This is a step up from earlier DDR4 based HID panel PCs and allows the system to comfortably run multiple clinical applications, imaging viewers, or virtualised workloads at once without memory bottlenecks.

What storage options are available?

The HID-2146 provides two M.2 Key M 2280 slots over PCIe x4 for primary storage, giving flexibility for RAID or dual-drive configurations. A separate M.2 Key B 2280 slot is reserved for an AI card and an M.2 Key E 2230 slot for the Wi-Fi module, so storage expansion does not compete with wireless or AI card space.

What expansion is available on the HID-2146?

There is one PCI Express x4 slot for add-in cards such as capture, AI, or GPU cards, alongside the dedicated M.2 slots for storage, AI accelerator, and Wi-Fi. This combination lets integrators add specialised medical imaging or AI inference hardware without redesigning the enclosure.

What are the display specifications of the HID-2146?

It has a 21.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) panel with 250 cd/m2 luminance, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 22ms response time, and wide 89-degree viewing angles on all four sides. The projective capacitive touchscreen supports up to 10 touch points via a USB EETI EXC81H84 controller, with 86% touch light transmission and an LED backlight.

Does the HID-2146 support multi-touch?

Yes, it uses a projective capacitive (PCAP) touch panel that supports up to 10 simultaneous touch points, controlled through a USB interface via the EETI EXC81H84 touch controller. This makes it suitable for gesture-based clinical software and multi-user interaction at nurse stations.

What USB ports does the HID-2146 offer?

Standard I/O includes two USB 3.2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and one USB Type-C port that also carries DisplayPort output and PD output (5V/3A, 15W, no PD input). An optional 5KV isolation module adds two further isolated USB 2.0 ports along with an isolated LAN and COM port for electrically sensitive medical setups.

What serial and audio ports are available?

The HID-2146 includes one RS-232/422/485 selectable COM port and a combo audio jack, backed by built-in 2 x 2W speakers. This covers common needs for barcode scanners, peripheral devices, and patient-facing audio alerts in clinical settings.

What networking does the HID-2146 provide?

It uses an Intel I226LM controller delivering 10/100/1000/2500 Base-Tx Gigabit Ethernet compatible speeds through a single RJ-45 port. An optional 802.11 Wi-Fi 7 (abgn+acR2+axR2+be) MIMO 2x2 module with Bluetooth 5.4 is available for wireless deployments.

Does the HID-2146 support isolated I/O for medical safety?

Yes, an optional 5KV isolation module (IET module) is available that adds two isolated USB 2.0 ports, one isolated LAN port, and one isolated COM port. This is intended for applications where patient-connected peripherals need electrical isolation from the main system for safety compliance.

What is the DC output used for on the HID-2146?

The unit includes a 12V/24V DC output, useful for powering accessory peripherals such as barcode scanners, cameras, or external readers directly from the panel PC without a separate power supply, simplifying cabling in clinical workstation setups.

What power input does the HID-2146 require?

It runs on +24V DC input in AT or ATX power mode (ATX is default) through a lockable DC jack. The included medical-grade adapter accepts 100-240V AC (2.8-0.8A, 50-60Hz) input and outputs 24V at 7.5A, delivering 180W to the system.

What operating temperature range does the HID-2146 support?

The HID-2146 is rated for operation between 0°C and 40°C (32°F to 104°F), with storage temperature from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) and operating humidity up to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing, making it suitable for standard hospital and clinical environments.

What operating systems does the HID-2146 support?

The HID-2146 supports Windows 11 and Linux operating systems, giving integrators flexibility to deploy standard hospital IT stacks or custom Linux-based medical applications on the same hardware platform.

Does the HID-2146 have hardware security features?

Yes, it includes a NuvoTon NPCT750AADYX SPI TPM 2.0 module for hardware-based encryption and secure boot support, along with a watchdog timer for automatic system recovery, both important for compliance-sensitive medical IT environments.

What is Imprivata RFID integration used for on the HID-2146?

The HID-2146 supports Imprivata RFID integration, allowing clinicians to tap a badge for fast, secure login and logout at shared workstations. This reduces login friction at nurse stations and supports single sign-on workflows common in hospital IT deployments.

What certifications does the HID-2146 meet?

It is certified to IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical electrical safety and IEC/EN 60601-1-2 for EMC, along with FCC Part 15 Class B, UL/cUL under IEC/EN/ANSI/AAMI 60601-1, CB Scheme IEC/EN 62368-1, and CCC, covering the major markets TSL Automation Solutions supplies into.

What is the IP rating and housing construction of the HID-2146?

The front panel is rated IP65 and the rear IP54, with a plastic front and rear construction finished in an anti-microbial coating. This combination supports easy cleaning and infection control practices required in clinical environments.

What are the dimensions and weight of the HID-2146?

The HID-2146 measures 520 x 321 x 55 mm and weighs 5.4kg. Its slim profile and moderate weight suit wall-arm or trolley mounted deployments typical of nurse stations and bedside monitoring setups.

What mounting options does the HID-2146 support?

Avalue HID series panel PCs are generally designed for VESA-pattern wall, arm, or trolley mounting to suit clinical workstation layouts. Contact TSL Automation Solutions to confirm the exact VESA hole pattern and mounting kit options for the HID-2146.

Is the HID-2146 fanless?

The HID-2146 includes a system fan for active thermal management, supporting the added performance headroom of the Arrow Lake U processor and optional AI, GPU, or capture cards while keeping the sealed IP65 front panel intact.

What environmental durability testing has the HID-2146 undergone?

With SSD or mSATA storage fitted, the unit is rated for 1.5Grms vibration per IEC 60068-2-64 (random, 5 to 500Hz, 30 minutes per axis) and 10Grms shock per IEC 60068-2-27 (half sine, 11ms), suitable for typical hospital handling and movement.

What applications is the HID-2146 designed for?

It targets critical healthcare environments including patient monitoring, nurse stations, clinical workstations, and diagnostic support, where an antimicrobial, IP65-rated touch panel PC with strong processing and RFID login support is needed.

How does the HID-2146 compare with the Avalue HID-2138?

Both are 21.5-inch Full HD antimicrobial medical panel PCs, but the HID-2146 upgrades to Intel Arrow Lake U processors and DDR5 memory versus the HID-2138's 11th Gen Tiger Lake and DDR4 platform. The HID-2146 also adds Imprivata RFID integration and a dedicated AI card M.2 slot, making it the more future-focused option for clinics investing in newer clinical software and AI-assisted workflows.

What is included in the box with the HID-2146?

The standard package includes one HID-2146 medical panel PC and one medical-grade power adapter. Optional accessories such as capture cards, AI cards, GPU cards, cameras, noise-cancelling microphones, backup batteries, and sound bars can be configured through TSL Automation Solutions.

Can TSL Automation Solutions help select and support the HID-2146 in India?

Yes, as an authorised India distributor of Avalue, TSL Automation Solutions helps customers select the right processor and I/O configuration, arranges supply, and provides after-sales technical support for the HID-2146 throughout India, including guidance on optional isolation modules, AI cards, and mounting accessories.

Is the HID-2146 compatible with barcode scanners and RFID readers?

Yes, its USB 2.0/3.2 ports, RS-232/422/485 COM port, and built-in Imprivata RFID support make it compatible with common barcode scanners, RFID badge readers, and other clinical peripherals used at nurse stations and patient bedsides.
