akubela KS41-PoE-EU HyPanel Lite

Product Specifications

Dimensions: 47.4mm x 11.8mm x 35.6mm
Power Input: IEEE802.3af standard PoE or 12-24V DC
Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Ethernet

Product Usage Instructions

Make sure the HyPanel Lite is compatible with the location where you want to install it.
Recommended electrical box depth: 50mm (2 inches) or 40mm (1.6 inches) based on wire positioning.
HyPanel Lite can be powered by IEEE802.3af standard PoE or 12-24V DC.
If using a 110V power source, use an isolation transformer to step up the voltage to 180V – 260V.
+ (12~24V DC) wire is usually brown or red, while – (negative) wire is often blue or black.
RJ45 cable carries both data and power for PoE switch, while non-PoE switch provides Ethernet only.
RS485_A and RS485_B are for connecting third-party devices to HyPanel Lite.
Straighten and connect wires ensuring correct polarity.
If using PoE: Plug RJ45 cable into the PoE port for data and power.
If using 12-24V DC: Connect positive and negative wires to respective terminals.
If connecting third-party devices over RS485: Connect RS485_A and RS485_B wires accordingly.
Adjust electric screwdriver torque to 5kgf.cm. Turn screws clockwise without fully tightening.
Attach module to electrical box ensuring it is level and flush against the wall. Tighten screws securely.
Position the panel at a tilt as shown in the image. Press the panel into the module until it clicks into place.

FAQ

Q: How long does it take to install the HyPanel Lite?
A: The initial installation may take up to 40 minutes, but subsequent installations will be faster.
Q: Can the HyPanel Lite be powered by both PoE and DC?
A: Yes, the HyPanel Lite can be powered by either IEEE802.3af standard PoE or 12-24V DC.
Q: What is the recommended depth of the electrical box for installation?
A: A 50mm (2 inches) deep electrical box is highly recommended, but in some cases, a 40mm (1.6 inches) deep box may suffice.

Product specifications

Working space

Make sure the HyPanel Lite is compatible with the location where you want to install it.
A 50mm(2 inches) deep electrical box is highly recommended for ease of installation.
In some scenarios, especially when the wires can be pushed back into the wall far enough, it may be possible to use a 40mm(1.6 inches) deep box.

PoE or DC power input
HyPanel Lite can be powered by either IEEE802.3af standard PoE or 12-24V DC.
Support Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections
If you are in the 110V country or region, you have to use an isolation transformer to step up 110V voltage to 180V – 260V before it can be used for HyPanel Lite.

Wiring

Identify wires

A positive DC (+) wire is often brown or red, and provides 12 -24 Volts of power to the device.
A negative DC (-) wire is often blue or black.
The RJ45 cable connecting with a PoE switch carries both data and power to the device, while the RJ45 with a non-PoE switch provides only Ethernet.
RS485_A and RS485_B are two signal lines used to connect third-party devices to HyPanel Lite. NO need to connect to these two terminals if you’re not using third-party devices with RS485 communications.

Connect wires

Strip and straighten wires

The wires used for 12-24V DC power supplier or RS485 communication should be 1.5mm² ~ 2.5mm² in size and have stripped and straight ends.
Strip the wires by removing the plastic sheathing, and make sure the exposed wire ends measure approximately 8mm (5/16 inch) in length.

Connect all wires

Always make sure the arrow on the front of the ﬂush mounted module is pointing up.

If you want to power the device using PoE

Plug the RJ45 Ethernet cable to the PoE port so that the module can receive both data and power.

If you want to power the device with 12-24V DC

Plug the positive and negative DC wires to the corresponding terminals respectively.
Tighten the screws clockwise with a ﬂat-head screwdriver until wires are secure.
Double check by gently tugging on each wire.

If you need to connect to third-party devices over RS485

Connect RS485_A and RS485_B wires to the corresponding terminals respectively.

Installation

Change the torque on the electric screwdriver to 5kgf.cm.
Turn screws clockwise with the screwdriver.
Do not fully tighten the screws. The screw head must protrude at least 3 mm (1/8 inch) from the wall surface.

Install ﬂush mounted module

Attach the ﬂush mounted module to the electrical box. The screws should go through the holes on the module.
Adjust the module to be level and ensure it is ﬂush against the wall. Tighten the screws to attach the module to the wall, taking care not to over-tightened them.
