Hardware guide

This chapter presents an overview of the product, the packing list, the appearance, the buttons, the indicators and the interfaces.

The HAI-P200-4G is an industrial PC based on the Raspberry Pi CM4, with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage.

The HAI-P200-4G carries the usual interfaces (HDMI, USB, Ethernet, RS232, RS485) and supports network connections over WiFi, Ethernet and 4G. The addition of a supercapacitor (backup power, optional), an RTC (real-time clock), a watchdog, an EEPROM and an encryption chip guarantees ease of use and high reliability, suited to industrial control and IoT applications.

An overview of the definition and function of each of the product’s interfaces.

The HAI-P200-4G includes:

  • An SD card slot (micro-SD) for data storage.
  • A nano-SIM card slot for the 4G connection.

The micro-SD slot takes an SD card to store user data.

The nano-SIM slot takes a SIM card to receive the 4G signal.

The HAI-P200-4G includes a DC power input (9–36 V) through 2-pin Phoenix terminal blocks (3.5 mm pitch). The pins are defined as follows:

The RTC guarantees a reliable, uninterrupted clock, even during a power cut.

This chapter explains how to install the device.

The HAI-P200-4G ships with a DIN rail bracket pre-installed by default.

Steps:

  1. Position the DIN rail bracket’s side facing the rail to install it on. Slide the upper part of the bracket onto the rail’s upper edge.

    DIN rail mounting, step 1: engage the upper part of the bracket on the rail’s edge

  2. Press the locking tab on the lower part of the bracket until it clicks onto the rail. DIN rail mounting, step 2: press the locking tab until it clicks

Note:

  • No additional tool is required for this installation.
  • The DIN rail fixing guarantees optimal stability in an industrial environment.

The HAI-P200-4G has no power switch. The system starts automatically once power is applied.

Indicators:

  • PWR (red): on = normal power supply.
  • ACT (green): blinking = successful start.
