Hardware Overview
|
WAN & LAN Connectivity
| Ethernet |
The M12 connectors are provided so that custom cable lengths can be created for each unique installation. Please see below for the M12 connector pin assignments and cable twisted pair diagrams. Ethernet Port 1 (“•”) supports PoE and is capable up to 1GbE. |
|---|---|
| Serial Port | Your device supports RS232/422/485 connections using the Serial Port. Please see below for the M12 connector pin assignments and cable twisted pair diagrams. |
| Antennas | Connect the Bluetooth antenna to the socket on the left as viewed from the front. Connect the LoRa antenna to the socket on the right. Make sure antennas are screwed on properly and are facing upwards. |
Power Options
| Grounding | The VHH10 unit must be properly grounded first to ensure reliable operation, help dissipate lightning effects and prevent buildup of static charge. The grounding connection must be securely and effectively connected to an actual earth ground. A grounding stake, grounded pole or similar grounded metal structure may be used. |
|---|---|
| PoE | A PoE switch or a cable injector may be used to power this unit. The VHH10 is classified as an 802.BT Type 4 device which can consume up to 90W. However, the VHH10 has a typical power consumption of less than 60W. |
| DC Power Cable | Refer to pages 22-23 for power cable connections. When using a separate DC power cable, a minimum 14# conductor cable should be used. Maximum length is 50 feet. |

Mounting Options
Pole Installation
|
The pole mount bracket (L-COM HGX-PMT17) is a single piece bracket which bolts to the VHH10 unit using three M5 x .8mm x 10mm long stainless steel screws and attached to a pole in diameter 3 to 12 inches with off-the-shelf steel bands. IMPORTANT: |
Wall Installation
|
Attach the unit side of the wall mounting bracket to the back of the unit with three M5 x .8mm x 10mm long stainless steel screws. Note that a single bolt attaches in the middle at the top of the bracket and two bolts attach the bottom of the bracket. Holes on top left and right corner are unused. |
|
|
Attach the wall piece of the wall mounting bracket to the wall surface so that it is oriented as shown, with the side rails away from wall and locking flanges on the bottom (Fig. 2) Attach the grounding cable to the grounding connection on the unit assembly, as described above. |
|
|
Hang the unit assembly on the wall piece of the bracket by matching up the bracket side flanges and sliding the unit assembly down onto the mounted wall piece until it rests on the locking flanges. Insert 2 M8 screws into the locking flanges at the bottom to fasten the two pieces of the mounting bracket together. |

Warnings
To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged you must ensure CAUTIONS are adhered to as follows:
- Ambient Temperature. Do not operate the unit an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).
- Air Flow. The airflow around your VeeaHub must not be obstructed.
- Mechanical Loads. Be sure that the device is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions and that it is secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the device, as excessive weight may damage it.
- Power Supply Limitations. Only use the Veea supplied Power Supply Unit (PSU). Use of a different power supply may damage the VeeaHub.
- Environment. The VHE09/VHE10 must not be used in outdoor environments. It must not come into contact with any fluids or substances which might otherwise cause damage or present a fire or electrical hazard to the VeeaHub or personnel.
