Rear View (Embedded Variant) Product Overview ® The Cortex -A8 series EPC/PPC-A8-101-R (PN: CS10600T101) is a high-quality industrial PC. It features a 10.1” ten-point capacitive and resistive touch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and brightness of 500 cd/m .
The AM33554 MPU does not generate extensive heat, so even the thin aluminum housing on PPC version delivers sufficient thermal dissipation. Ordering Options Chipsee products can be customized during the ordering process. The product will be shipped with the pre-installed factory defaults if no extra requirements are specified. The table in the...
Software Documentation section provides a detailed instruction how to install different OS on your own. However, bear in mind that Chipsee can’t take the responsibility of inadequate installation procedure. If you “brick” your device, please contact Chipsee Technical Support at support@chipsee.com...

Power Input Power Input The EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Industrial PC can be powered by a wide range of input voltages: From 6V to 42V DC. The power input connector is a 3-pin, 3.81mm terminal. The polarity and the pinout is clearly marked on the housing of the PPC version, as well as on the PCB itself of the EPC version, as shown in the figure below.
Use a high-quality Power Adapter Unit (PSU) with low EMR. You can also provide power from a battery. Make sure that the EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Power Input connector (pin 3) is properly connected to the Power System Ground to provide sufficient EMI shielding and eliminate the problem entirely.

Use CAT5 or better cables to achieve full data throughput over maximum distance defined by the 1000BASE-T standard (100m). WiFi & BT Module The EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Industrial PC is equipped with the popular Realtek RTL8723 WiFi/BT module that supports BT/BLE 4.0 (with backward compatibility), as well as 802.11bgn 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN (WLAN).
The product does not come shipped with the WiFi/BT module by default. If the operator mounts the WiFi/BT module on the EPC/PPC-A8-101-R industrial PC, the module uses the USB1 channel to communicate with CPU, so it will occupy the USB1 channel.
