(1) General Information
1.1 Product Description
PN8M-090T is an ultra-compact platform for the present demanding
embedded and productive applications. It has NXP i.MX8M Mini Cortex-A53 ARM
Quad Core which consumes only minimum power requirement when running at
1.6GHz, and up 4GB LPDDR4 memory provides faster data transfer rate. By using 9”
TFT LCD, PN8M-090T becomes the perfect choice for a limited budget. In
additional, the integrated Gigabit Ethernet port supplies the communication
capability which makes PN8M-090T can be more widely used when running Yocto
Linux and Android environments to become the perfect solution for system
integration.

[Note 5]
According to the technical information from LCD manufacturer, the image
retention may happen on LCD display if the static image is kept for a period of time
without any change. ICOP will suggest customers not to have static image on LCD
for over 4 hours without any image movement and also enable screensaver to
avoid image sticking issue if LCD displays need to be kept on for a long time.
Some Image retention issue will disappear when LCD display is turned off for
a period of time, but some image retention may be not reversible when LCD
encounters screen burn.
The following is LCD manufacturer’s test result for customers’ reference.

1.5 Panel Mounting Instruction
1. Cut a mounting hole in the panel. (Refer to PN8M-090T Dimensions
on page 7) (Note 1)
2. Check and remove the twelve M3 screws in a diagonal pattern as
image below if necessary.
3. Place PN8M-090T face-down on a clean, flat surface.
4. Slide the panel cutout around the back of PN8M-090T, until the
panel rests directly on the gasket. Make sure the screw holes align
with the screw holes on PN8M-090T.
5. The screw size is M3*L (L=wall thickness + 6.0mm) (Note 2)
6. Insert all twelve M3 screws into the screw holes. (Note 2)
7. Finger-tighten the M3 screws. Finish tightening the M3 screws in a
diagonal pattern using an M3 screw driver (see the image as below);
maximum torque 1.18Nm (12 kgf-cm).

12
PN8M-090TPN8M Panel PC Series with 9” WSVGA TFT LCD
Note 1:
It is strongly recommended that a professional machine shop cut the
mounting hole in the panel.
Note 2:
The length for all twelve M3 screws will be according to the thickness of
mounting panel. For example: The length of standard M3 screws for
PN8M-090T is 6mm. If the thickness of your mounting panel is 3mm and
washer thickness is 1mm, you have to use 10mm M3 screw.
