Each VeeaHub model is designed to operate reliably in specific environmental conditions. Understanding these operating conditions is essential to maintaining optimal performance, ensuring device longevity, and protecting your investment. This article outlines the supported environments for each VeeaHub model, including temperature ranges, indoor/outdoor usage, and water/dust resistance ratings.
Summary Table
| Model | Indoor/Outdoor | Operating Temperature Range | Ingress Protection (IP) Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| VHE09 / VHE10 | Indoor | 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) | Not rated |
| VHC25 | Indoor | 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) | Not rated |
| VHH09 / VHH10 | Outdoor | -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F) | IP65 (Dust tight and protected against water jets) |
Indoor VeeaHubs (VHE09, VHE10, VHC25)
These models are designed for controlled indoor environments. They should be used in dry, ventilated areas where ambient temperature does not exceed their rated limits. Avoid installing them near sources of heat (e.g., furnaces) or in locations that may trap heat (e.g., enclosed cabinets without airflow).
Note: These devices are not weatherproof and must not be exposed to moisture, humidity, or direct airflow from HVAC systems that may carry condensation.
Outdoor VeeaHubs (VHH09, VHH10)
The VHH-series VeeaHubs are ruggedized for deployment in harsh environments. With an IP65 rating, they are protected against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction. They are ideal for outdoor installations in areas with extreme temperatures, heavy rain, snow, and dust.
Important Installation Notes for Outdoor Units
- Do not open the SIM card or MicroSD card slots unless necessary. These slots are sealed for environmental protection. Opening them may compromise the IP65 water resistance and void any warranty related to ingress protection.
- If access to these slots is required, make sure the device is powered off and reinstall all rubber seals and gaskets exactly as they were to maintain water resistance.
- Always mount the unit vertically with the ports facing down to avoid water pooling near any openings.
Summary
When deploying VeeaHubs, always choose a model appropriate to your environment:
- For offices, server rooms, and other controlled indoor settings, VHE09, VHE10, or VHC25 are suitable.
- For outdoor or industrial deployments where weather and dust are factors, the VHH09 and VHH10 models are required.
Improper installation outside of the recommended environmental conditions can result in reduced performance, premature failure, and may void the warranty. If you're unsure which VeeaHub model is right for your use case, please contact our support team for guidance.
