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)).

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. The card slots are located on the top side of the main board or the peripheral board
(if installed) as shown below (Left = ADEPT-AAAx, Right = ADEPT-AACx).
Note: The Adept Validator is not supplied with any of the above-mentioned accessory by default.

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.
If the elapsed time between manufacturing and installation is more than half a year, there is a chance that the
battery gets deeply discharged and the performance is not guaranteed.
If the device needs to be opened for the SAM/SIM/uSD insertion, it is recommended to use this opportunity to
measure the battery voltage, to ensure it is above 2V, replace it otherwise.
Refer to [1] and Figure 5 for details on how to obtain access to the main board back-up battery if replacement is
required.
4.3 1-Wire Assembly (CBL0429)
The 1-wire assembly comes with a connector which could be directly mated with the cable harness without any
crimping required. Refer to section 5 for the wires, connector, and crimps to be used on the cable harness.

Refer to section 5.2 for the connectors and crimps to be used at the Adept Validator end. Refer to sections 5.3 and
5.4 for recommendation on circuit breakers and cables.
Note: The above diagram is for a 24V bus system, with 0 to 20-meter power cable and 70% derating of
cable’s maximum current rating. Refer to section 5.5 for information on the power cable selection.
Caution: For any connected signal group (power, Ethernet, USB, multiprotocol or GPS), a ferrite MUST be
used on the cable on the 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.
They should be secured in place on its cable group with cable ties or other means. They need to be
installed prior to cradle mounting as it is difficult to position/fit them through the pole/cradle.
Interconnection connectors are recommended to be used between the validator end and the end terminal/device.
This provides flexibility in installation and removal. The below table presents the above wiring in a table format with
the interconnection recommendations, but they could be altered, based on the actual application/requirement.

5.2 Connector Termination
The design incorporates two robust Molex iGrid automotive connectors, that are easy to crimp large or small cables
using a variety of readily available crimps. There is also a FAKRA connector for models with GPS.

DPU-00084
Revision 2.3
Page 19 of 39
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.
The following defines the mating connectors/crimps and tooling requirements used on the cable harness that
connects to the Adept Validator.
•Refer to the below two tables for the recommended connectors and crimps. The crimps should be selected
based on the connecting cable size and the current rating requirement.
•Approved alternative connectors, that are compatible with the defined interfaces, can be used.
•Defined tools should be used to ensure good termination coupling in both the cable manufacture and
installation.

The centre core of the RF cable (refer to section 5.4 for the cable recommendation) is to be soldered to the centre
pin of the connector and the shield of the cable is to be crimped to connector body with the ferrule. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to assemble the connector properly.
Caution: Once the RF cable is terminated and the RF connector is assembled, the connector body MUST be
insulated to avoid shorting the metal body to the mounting pole.

5.3 Circuit Breakers
It is vitally important to protect the power cabling against over current conditions. Circuit breakers are an ideal way
of protecting the wiring over conventional fuses. Circuit breakers must be selected to trip before the cable current
limit is reached.
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.
Local and statutory regulations should be followed for fire proofness and cable material content (i.e. RoHS), which
may override these recommendations.
Note: Cables must be suitably strain relieved at all times and in appropriate locations.
