Wiring Requirements

In this section, we describe how to connect serial devices to the V2201 embedded computer.

Be sure to read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any

electronic device:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must

cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To

avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The

rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your

V2201.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes

dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings,

the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and

consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

Connecting the Power

To power on the V2201, connect the “terminal block to power jack converter” to the V2201’s DC terminal block

(located on the left side panel), and then connect the power adapter. The system is automatically turned on by

default when the power is plugged in. If it doesn't turn on automatically, press the Power Button to turn on the

computer. Note that the Shielded Ground wire should be connected to the top pin of the terminal block. It takes

about 30 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Power LED will light up.

Grounding the Unit

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the

ground connection from the grounding screw (M4) to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.

ATTENTION

This product is i

ntended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
