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?

In The Box

Check Compatibility

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.

Install panel

  • Position the panel at a tilt as the image shows.
  • Press the panel into the flush mounted module until it clicks.

If you need to remove the panel

  • Insert a flat-head screwdriver with about 6mm width into the slot at the bottom edge.
  • Gently pry the panel up.

If you need to remove the panel
