Overview

The V2406C Series embedded computers are based on Intel® 7th and 8th Gen processors and feature 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual LAN ports, and 4 USB 3.0 ports. The V2406C computers come with 1 VGA output and 1 HDMI port with 4k resolution support. The computers comply with the EN 50155:2017 specifications, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
The mSATA slot, SATA connectors, and USB ports provide the V2406C computers with the reliability needed for industrial applications that require storage expansion for data buffering. Most importantly, the V2406C computers come with 2 storage trays for inserting additional storage media, such as hard disk or solid-state drives, which support hot swapping for convenient, fast, and easy storage replacement. Each storage slot has its own LED that indicates whether a storage module is plugged in.

Installing the V2406C

The V2406C computer comes with two wall-mounting brackets. Attach the brackets to the computer using four screws on each side. Ensure that the mounting brackets are attached to the V2406C computer in the direction shown in the following figure.

The eight screws for the mounting brackets are included in the product package. They are standard IMS_M3x5L screws and require a torque of 4.5 kgf- cm. Refer to the following illustration for details.

Use two screws (M3*5L standard is recommended) on each side to attach the V2406C to a wall or cabinet. The product package does not include the four screws required for attaching the wall-mounting kit to the wall; they need to be purchased separately. Ensure that the V2406C computer is installed in the direction shown in the following figure.

Connecting the Power

The V2406C computers are provided with M12 power input connectors on the front panel. Connect the power cord wires to the connectors and then tighten the connectors. Push the power button; the Power LED (on the power button) will light up to indicate that power is being supplied to the computer. It should take about 30 to 60 seconds for the operating system to complete the boot-up process.

The power input specification is given below:
• DC mains with a power source rating of 24 V @ 2.74 A; 100 V @ 0.584 A, and a minimum of 18 AWG.
For surge protection, connect the grounding connector located below the power connector with the earth (ground) or a metal surface.

Connecting Displays
The V2406C has 1 VGA interface that comes with a D-Sub 15-pin female connector. In addition, another HDMI interface is also provided on the front panel.
NOTE: In order to have highly reliable video streaming, use premium, HDMI-certified cables.
USB Ports
The V2406C comes with 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front panel and another 2 USB 3.0 ports on the rear panel. The USB ports can be used to connect to other peripherals, such as keyboard, mouse, or flash drives for expanding the system’s storage capacity.

Serial Ports
The V2406C comes with 4 software-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial ports on the rear panel. Port 1 and Port 2 are isolated UART ports. The ports use DB9 male connectors.
