Note

The functions marked with (*) differ from Veronte Autopilot 1x Pinout

Warning

• All GND pins are common.

• Pins 27, 67 and 68 are common. Connect them to the same power supply voltage.

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

• CANA and CANB buses do not have termination resistor, user should add them based on its own wiring design.

Connector colour code:

Connector HEW.LM.368.XLNP

Harness plug

Warning

Check the pin number before connecting. The colour code is repeated 3 times due to the amount of pins. First section (yellow) corresponds to pins 1-30, the second section (blue) to pins 31-60 and the third one (red) to pins 61-68. Pin number increases following the black line of the pictures above: counterclockwise for the connector and clockwise for the plug.

Mechanical installation

There are 2 separate accessories for the Veronte PCS in order to mount the unit on a mast, on the Veronte Tracker or a wall.

The accessories are :

Pole Mount.

Pole mount

Wall Mount

Wall mount

The installation of the wall mount is described in the Veronte Tracker Manual.

Pole mount installation

The pole mount is composed by two aluminun brackets to assemble the PCS to the foldable mast.

To assemble the system follow the next steps:

1. Attach the two brackets to the PCS Control Station with 2mm allen screw driver.

Bracket Fixation

2. Introduce the PCS Control Station into the mast and attach it with the two wing bolts.
