1. 12/24VDC barrel connector
2. 12/24VDC phoenix connector
6.1 12/24VDC barrel connector
A suitable external power supply must be connected to the DC power socket, which has the
dimensions 5.5mm x 2.1 mm cylindrical barrel connector. The power supply must be 12 or
24VDC. Recommended values are: 12VDC/2A (no more than 5A)
Please note that the DC jack must have positive polarity in the center pin:
Figure 1 DC Barrel Socket Polarity
Please be aware that the maximum temperature for the barrel connector is 40C.
6.2 12/24VDC phoenix connector
A suitable external power supply must be connected to the DC phoenix power connector.
The power supply must be 12 or 24VDC. Recommended values are: 24VDC/1A (no more
than 3A).
Please note that the polarity is printed below the phoenix power connector. Never connect
the wrong polarity as the device will break.
The middle pin can be used as grounding.
Only one power connector is allowed to be connected at any time
7 USB Console
The VT AIR 300 has an FTDI 230x UART to USB bridge allowing convenient connection to the
device console. Such serial console connection is of USB-to-UART type. The connection
speed should be set to 115200 bps.
All modern Operating Systems have a driver the FTDI 230x UART.
7.1 Windows
First you have to locate the COM Port number.

Voleatech GmbH

immediately.

Voleatech GmbH
17
13.3 Operation
The product may be operated only under the operating conditions as specified by Voleatech
GmbH.
When the product is used for an extended period of time, and/or at high ambient
temperature and/or exposed to direct sunlight it is normal for the product body to feel
warm.
Avoid overheating the product.
The product’s ventilation should not be obstructed or blocked. If proper ventilation is not
provided it can result in battery overheating or explosion of the battery resulting fire, burns
or other injuries.
Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke or a strange smell, or otherwise
behaves abnormally.
Following are the required operating position and conditions:
• Do not place the product on unstable surfaces
• Do not place the product on elevated surface and secure it from falling from high
places on passerby
• Do not place the product on heat-generating surface or near heat emitting devices or
direct flame. Verify that there is sufficient clearance between the product and any
other device exhaust warm air
• The product operating ambient range can be found at Environmental Data. Voleatech
GmbH recommends that an ambient temperature of 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and
relative humidity of 30-50% is maintained during normal operation as this will result
in better performance and longer life of the equipment. Temperature must not
exceed the maximum temperature specified in Environmental Data.
• Do not expose the product to moisture or dust.
• The product is not liquid-proof; therefore, the equipment must be protected against
penetration by liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may
suffer electric shock or the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to
personal injury.
• Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can
form in or on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm
environment. Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock.
13.4 AC/DC Adapter or Power Supply - Electrical Safety
The following information on electrical safety must be observed, failing to follow these
instruction may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death.
Use only the adapter or power supply supplied with the product or adapter or power supply
with the following specifications:
Output voltage of 12V or 24V and current of at least 2A and not more than 3A

Voleatech GmbH
18
Prior to powering the product and plugging the adapter or power supply to the mains
supply, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the adapter or power supply
matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network.
If extension cords or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular
basis to ensure that they are safe to use.
Never use the adapter or power supply if the power cable is damaged. Check the power
cable on a regular basis to ensure that it is in proper operating condition. By taking
appropriate safety measures and carefully laying the power cable, you can ensure that the
cable will not be damaged and that no one can be hurt by, for example, tripping over the
cable or suffering an electric shock.
Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the
way into the socket. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.
Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or
electric shocks.
Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.
Never remove the cover or any part of the housing of the adapter or power supply, doing so
will expose circuits and components and can lead to electric shock, injuries, fire or damage
to the product.
The adapter or power supply operating ambient temperature range is of 0 to 40°C / 32 to
104 °F (storage temp range: -20 to 60 °C / -04 to 140 °F) maximum operating altitude is 2000
m ASL.
Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a
bolt of lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be
exposed to the danger of an electric shock.
The product is not liquid-proof; therefore, the equipment must be protected against
penetration by liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer
electric shock or the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.
Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or
on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment.
Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock.
Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply. Use a soft,
non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such as alcohol,
acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.

the product is not to be thrown away, but rather put in the established collection systems
for reclaiming these end of life products.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking must not dispose
of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to
them for the return, recycle and recovery of WEEE and to minimize any potential effects of
EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances.
Voleatech GmbH electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) may contain parts and
components, which at end-of-life might qualify as hazardous waste.
EEE and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) can be delivered free of charge to
the place of sale or any distributor that sells electrical and electronic equipment of the same
nature and function as the used EEE or WEEE.
