R24F OEM Assembly

M4 screws are recommended for mounting. In saline environments such as coastal and oceanic, the screw material must be stainless steel.

To weld the cables read the Pinout section of this manual

R24F Assembly

  1. First of all, unscrew the box and the PCB.

  1. Then, weld the cables to the PCB following the Pinout section of this manual.

  2. Finally, pass the cables through the cable gland and screw it back.

Vibration isolation

There might be situations where external isolation components might be needed.

Veronte R24F can be mounted in different ways in order to reject the airframe vibration. The simplest way could be achieved by just using double-sided tape on the bottom side. Other ways may use some external structure which could be rigidly attached to the airframe and softly attached to R24F (e.g. foam, silent blocks, aerogel, etc).

The user should take into account that wiring should be loose enough so vibrations may not be transmitted to R24F.

In cases where mechanical isolation is not viable, it is possible to use soft engine mounts. It is also recommended when there are other sensible payloads like video cameras or for high vibration engines.

Pinout

The following diagram shows the holes to weld each cable.

  • HV IN: Positive of the input power supply (from 14 to 160 V DC).

  • HV GND: Ground of the input power supply.

  • OUT: Positive of the output voltage (24 V DC).

  • GND: Ground of the output supply.

Note

Grounds are not common.
