1. Overview
The V481 is an industrial, ready-to-run embedded computer that supports
VGA and audio, and comes with dual LAN ports, 8 serial ports, a
CompactFlash slot, and a USB port. The V481 is based on the Intel x86
processor. The VGA interface makes the V481 especially well-suited for
industrial applications, such as SCADA, factory automation, and
applications that require an onsite HMI or monitor.

4. Installing the V481
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The V481 has built-in “ears” for attaching the embedded computer to a
wall or the inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per ear.
DIN-Rail Mounting
An aluminum DIN-Rail mounting kit is a standard accessory. If you need
to reattach the DIN-Rail mounting kit to the V481, make sure the stiff
metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the following figures.
Follow Steps 1 and 2 to mount the V481 on the DIN-Rail.
STEP1: Insert the top of the
DIN-Rail into the slot just below the
stiff metal spring.
STEP2: The DIN-Rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown.

5. Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the V481’s
terminal block. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will
light up.
Grounding the V481
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface, such as a metal panel.
