3.5.6. Power

The VT AIR 600 has 1 power connector:

• 12VDC barrel connector

12VDC barrel connector

A suitable external power supply must be connected to the DC power socket, which has the dimensions 5.5mm x 2.5 mm cylindrical barrel connector. The power supply must be 12VDC. Recommended values are: 12VDC/2A (no more than 5A).
Please note that the DC jack must have positive polarity in the center pin:

Warning

Please be aware that the maximum temperature for the barrel connector is 40°C.

3.5.7. USB Console

The appliance has a UART to USB bridge allowing convenient connection to the device console. Such serial console connection is of USB-to-UART type. The connection speed should be set to 115200 bps.
All modern Operating Systems have a driver for the UART.

Windows

First you have to locate the COM Port number.
Open the Device Manager and expand the section for Ports (COM & LPT). Look for an entry with a title such as USB Serial Port. A label is next to the name (COMX) where X is a number.

MacOSX

In OSX the device shows up at /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXX where X is a series of numbers and letters.

Linux

In Linux the device shows up at /dev/ttyUSBX where X is a number. You can also have a look at the output of dmesg to locate the newly connected device.

Terminal Program

A terminal program is required to open the connected serial port. We recommend:

OS	Program
Windows	Putty
MacOSX	Screen, Serial
Linux	Screen

3.5.7.1. First Connection to VT AIR Appliance

All VT AIR Appliances have a default LAN IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and the DHCP Server is active on LAN. Please make sure to locate the LAN interface of your appliance in the manual.

Connect your computer to the LAN Interface and receive an IP Address from the DHCP Server. It will be in the 192.168.1.X range.

After receiving the IP Address open a supported browser and navigate to https://192.168.1.1 A certificate warning will appear, since the VT AIR is using a self signed certificate. Please accept the certificate and continue to the page.

You will now be presented with the VT AIR login screen and you can use the default User and Password to login.

Note

User: admin Password: vtair

Please change the password after the first login.

3.5.8. VT AIR Reinstallation

Operation

The product may be operated only under the operating conditions as specified by Voleatech GmbH.
When the product is used for an extended period of time, and/or at high ambient temperature and/or exposed to direct sunlight it is normal for the product body to feel warm.

Avoid overheating the product.
The product’s ventilation should not be obstructed or blocked. If proper ventilation is not provided it can result in battery overheating or explosion of the battery resulting fire, burns or other injuries.

Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke or a strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally.

Following are the required operating position and conditions:

• Do not place the product on unstable surfaces

• Do not place the product on elevated surface and secure it from falling from high places on passerby

• Do not place the product on heat-generating surface or near heat emitting devices or direct flame. Verify that there is sufficient clearance between the product and any other device exhaust warm air

• The product operating ambient range can be found at Environmental Data. Voleatech GmbH recommends that an ambient temperature of 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and relative humidity of 30-50% is maintained during normal operation as this will result in better performance and longer life of the equipment. Temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in Environmental Data.

• Do not expose the product to moisture or dust.

• The product is not liquid-proof; therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.

• Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock.

AC/DC Adapter or Power Supply - Electrical Safety

The following information on electrical safety must be observed, failing to follow these instruction may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death.

Use only the adapter or power supply supplied with the product or adapter or power supply with the following specifications:

Output voltage of 12V or 24V and current of at least 2A and not more than 3A.

Prior to powering the product and plugging the adapter or power supply to the mains supply, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the adapter or power supply matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network.

If extension cords or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are safe to use.

Never use the adapter or power supply if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cable on a regular basis to ensure that it is in proper operating condition. By taking appropriate safety measures and carefully laying the power cable, you can ensure that the cable will not be damaged and that no one can be hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.

Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the socket. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.

Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or electric shocks.

Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.

Never remove the cover or any part of the housing of the adapter or power supply, doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to electric shock, injuries, fire or damage to the product.

The adapter or power supply operating ambient temperature range is of 0 to 40°C / 32 to 104 °F (storage temp range: -20 to 60 °C / -04 to 140 °F) maximum operating altitude is 2000 m ASL.

Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the danger of an electric shock.

The product is not liquid-proof; therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.

Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock.

Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply. Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.
