Note

The functions marked with (*) differ from Veronte PCS Pinout

Warning

RS-485 bus is used by default by the Veronte BCS for Ethernet communications.

Warning

Compatible only with PCS harness. Do not attach other type of harness, please contact us before doing it.

Warning

CANA is used for internal propouses and is already equipped with two CAN termination resistors. No extra termination resistor shall be added to the CANA bus. CANB has no CAN termination resistors, user shall add them based on its own wiring design. We recomend to use CANB for customer inplementation and CANA for internal propouses, although CANA can also be used for customer implementations.

Power connector

The connector installed in veronte tracker pole is the 71-533722-06P. Use PT06A-10-6S(005) as mating connector.

Antennas installation

This chapter describes how to install each type of antenna

Omnidirectional Antenna

  1. Insert the Omnidirectional Antenna through the holes prepared for that purpose.

../_images/omni1.png

  1. Fix the Parabolic Omnidirectional Antenna with the two lobe knobs.

../_images/omni2.png

  1. The next image illustrates the final configuration.

../_images/omni3.png

Parabolic Grid Antenna

  1. Fit the 4 grids with the protrusions.

../_images/Grid1.png

They must be fitted like the next figure:

../_images/Grid2.png

  1. Screw the 4 pieces with twelve screws M5x15 and their corresponding nuts.

  1. Screw the horn to the grids with two screws M5x15 and their corresponding nuts.

../_images/Grid4.png
../_images/Grid5.png

4. Place the parabollic antenna on the Veronte tracker, so the two upper screws on the tracker are inserted into the antenna. It can be placed with 90 degrees angle in case of desiring to change the polarity direction. This direction is indicated by an arrow on the antenna.

Guy cable installation

Veronte Tracker is supplied with 4 guy cables and 4 stakes to provide extra stability when mounted.

The use of the guy cables is mandatory when Veronte Tracker rises more than 2.5m although it is always recommended, even more in windy days.

  1. Attach the carabiners as shown in the picture.

Carabiners installation

  1. Next picture defines the recommended distance between stakes.

../_images/GuyCable1.png

Stakes distances

Once the stakes are installed, the guy cables need to be tightened.

  1. The next image illustrates how to tight and lose the guy cable.
