4. Installing the ThinkCore V481

Wall or Cabinet Mounting

The ThinkCore V481 has built-in “ears” for attaching the embedded computer to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per ear.

DIN-Rail Mounting

An aluminum DIN-Rail mounting kit is a standard accessory. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail mounting kit to the ThinkCore V481, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the following figures. Follow Steps 1 and 2 to mount the V481 on the DIN-Rail.

stiff metal spring.

 

To remove V481 from Din-rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2.

5. Connector Description

Power Connector

Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the ThinkCore V481’s terminal block. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will light up.

Grounding the V481

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
