Wiring Requirements

This section describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.

You should 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 V2416.

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

Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line with M12 connector to the V2416 computer. If the power is supplied

properly, the “Ready” LED will glow a solid green after a 25 to 30 second delay.
