Page 12: Installation Overview
3 Installation Overview 3.1 System Architecture Figure 2: Adept Validator Typical System Architecture 3.2 Power Supply Adept Validator can be powered either by Power-Over-Ethernet or by 24V DC power supply. Table 3: Power Supply Specification PARAMETER MIN. TYP. MAX. UNIT Input Supply Voltage Specified Input Current on power-up (@24V) Specified Input Current steady state (@24V) -
Page 13: Installation Example
3.3 Installation Example Mechanically the Adept Validator is mounted in two ways: 1. Onto a pole with a cradle. Figure 3: Picture of a Pole-Mounted Adept Validator 2. Onto a surface (e.g. Gates at train stations or TVMs (ticket vending machine)). Figure 4: Picture of a Surface-Mounted Adept Validator Refer to 6.7 for the details of the cut-out required on the surface. -
Page 14: Accessories
4 Accessories 4.1 SAMs / SIM / uSD Prior to installation, if the SAMs or SIM or uSD card need to be inserted or replaced, the Adept Validator needs to be opened by removing the 6 screws at the rear of the unit. Refer to [1] for details on how to obtain access to the main board/peripheral board. -
Page 15: Back-Up Battery
4.2 Back-up Battery The rechargeable battery on the main board provides backup power to the real time clock when the unit is disconnected from the main power. The battery usually comes with 90% charge when new, and it gets charged further during production testing, so it should be sufficient to power the RTC for approximately half a year, when out of the factory. -
Page 16: Wiring And Terminations
The following drawing shows an Adept Validator installed in isolation, with only general reference to external devices. The example diagram is mainly for the Adept Validator end only, any interconnection and extension between the Adept Validator and the terminal end needs to be discussed and confirmed between the customer and VIX. 1-WIRE_GND 1-Wire Assembly... -

Adept Validator end to ensure EMC performance. The recommendation is Laird Technologies # 28A0593-0A2 (shown in the above diagram), but any ferrite with similar impedance characteristics and size could be submitted to VIX for approving its use. Note: The ferrites could be offset in position to accommodate for the space constraint within the pole. -

Page 19: Figure 9: Rf Connector Kit
Both pole-mounted and surface-mounted Adept Validators use the same rear connectors with the same pinouts. In most installations only one connector (26WAY) is required to be terminated onto the cable. The second connector (20WAY) and the third connector (GPS) will be required only if external GPIO/USB/RS485/GPS etc. are required in the installation. -
Page 20: Circuit Breakers
For a 24V system, the recommended circuit breaker rating is 2A for the power in and 1A for remote on/off high. 5.4 Cable Recommendations VIX recommends using the following cables for the Adept Validator end. Cables between the interconnections and the end terminal/devices should be chosen appropriately, depending on the distances and current ratings. -

CABLE ID DESCRIPTION FUNCTION CAT5e Cable, 24AWG Stranded Shielded For CAT5e, Belden # CAT6a Cable, 24AWG Stranded Shielded (to ensure 1300SB Or Ethernet 1Gbit on 100m cable and EMC performance) Madex # For PoE application, a minimum of 24 AWG is required CAT5E-SFTP- to support the temperature rise. -
Page 22: Hierarchy For Power Supply
5.5.2 Hierarchy for Power Supply Figure 11 shows a typical wiring hierarchy for the equipment power supply cabling in the automotive vehicle environment. Notice that the cable ratings are higher than the circuit breakers and fuse ratings. In this example the circuit breaker rating has been de-rated to 70% of the cable maximum continuous current rating. -

Page 24: Pole Mounting
6 Pole Mounting This pole mounting process requires no tool, except a key (for unlocking the lock if needed), providing the pole has already been cut out as required. Refer to Appendix C for the cut-out required on the mounting pole. This includes a cut-out for the cables and a cut- out for the locating pin. -
Page 25: Cradle Kit
The cradle components are delivered as a kit (CRADLE-ADEPT-x-Ryy) designed for a standard 32mm pole. Note: If a different diameter pole is to be used, the size needs to be informed to VIX prior to order so that available accessories could be recommended. For a 30mm or 35mm pole, extra parts could be obtained from VIX to suit: CRADLE-KIT-30 or CRADLE-KIT-35. -
Page 26: Cradle Mounting Instructions
To prepare for installation, the cradle has to be disassembled into the below three main parts – cradle front, cradle rear and external cover, by following steps 2 to 4 in section 6.6. External cover with 4x seals The locating pin is a fixed component of the cradle front. -
