Ovanet Ovanet is Nokeval’s second generation radio network, which uses Wirepas Pino technology and Nokeval’s own additions. The network uses 2.4-2.48 GHz band, which is available all over the world. The product names basically begin with the Ovazone prefix. Every device in the network, also battery powered ones, will function as a repeater by assisting devices located far away from the gateway, effectively forming a mesh network.
Installation Wall holder Install the base station to a wall or some other suitable surface with the separate wall holder. See the following dimensional drawing for the wall holder’s mounting hole distances. Use fastening accessories suitable for the wall material, like plugs and screws. The screws need to have a countersunk head. Installation location Choose an installation location that it is central in relation to the radio transmitters.

connector (plug). The connector has four pins and it is a combined power supply and serial connector. The table below describes the function of each pin. Symbol Description +VDC Power supply positive pin, 18…28 VDC RS-485 bus D0 pin Power supply negative pin, RS-485 bus ground RS-485-bus D1 pin The diagram below presents the connector pinout looking towards the base station’s female connector.

This example picture illustrates how the base station can be connected to an RMD680 / RMD681 transmitter by sharing one 24 VDC power supply. The base 24 VDC station RS-485 bus information RS-485 is a serial bus type commonly used in the industry. It is based on two data lines D0 and D1, which are connected in parallel with all the devices connected to RS-485 bus and D0 and D1 pins.
There is usually no need to configure the device since most of the settings are already at their best defaults. However, if you want to see what kind of settings there are or edit settings, use MekuWin program and DCS772 (USB-POL converter).
