• Robotics and mechatronics
• Automotive electronics

The following table outlines the key technical specifications of the Outseal Mega V3 Standar:

The Outseal Mega V3 Standar has a 6-pin configuration. The table below describes each pin:

1. Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin to a regulated power source (3.3V or 5V) and the GND pin to the circuit ground.
2. Input Signals: Use IN1 and IN2 to provide control or data signals. These inputs are compatible with standard logic levels (3.3V or 5V).
3. Output Signals: OUT1 and OUT2 provide the processed or controlled output signals. Ensure the connected load does not exceed the maximum current rating of 2A.
4. Environmental Protection: The IP67 sealing ensures the component can be used in outdoor or harsh environments without additional protection.

• Voltage Compatibility: Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (3.3V to 5V) to avoid damage.
• Current Limitation: Do not exceed the maximum current rating of 2A on the output pins.
• Heat Dissipation: If operating near the maximum power rating (10W), ensure adequate heat dissipation to maintain reliability.
• Sealing Integrity: Avoid tampering with the sealed enclosure to maintain the IP67 protection.

The Outseal Mega V3 Standar can be easily interfaced with an Arduino UNO. Below is an example code snippet to control the component:

// Example code to control the Outseal Mega V3 Standar with Arduino UNO
// IN1 and IN2 are connected to Arduino digital pins 8 and 9 respectively
// OUT1 and OUT2 are connected to external devices (e.g., LEDs or motors)

#define IN1 8  // Define Arduino pin connected to IN1
#define IN2 9  // Define Arduino pin connected to IN2

void setup() {
  pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT);  // Set IN1 as an output pin
  pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT);  // Set IN2 as an output pin
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH);  // Set IN1 to HIGH
  digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);   // Set IN2 to LOW
  delay(1000);              // Wait for 1 second

  digitalWrite(IN1, LOW);   // Set IN1 to LOW
  digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH);  // Set IN2 to HIGH
  delay(1000);              // Wait for 1 second
}

1. Component Not Powering On

   • Cause: Incorrect voltage or loose connections.
   • Solution: Verify that the VCC pin is receiving a stable voltage between 3.3V and 5V. Check all connections.

2. No Output Signal

   • Cause: Input signals not provided or incorrect logic levels.
   • Solution: Ensure IN1 and IN2 are receiving valid logic signals (HIGH or LOW). Check the Arduino code or control circuit.

3. Overheating

   • Cause: Exceeding the power or current rating.
   • Solution: Reduce the load on the output pins or improve heat dissipation.

4. Sealing Compromised

   • Cause: Physical damage to the enclosure.
   • Solution: Replace the component if the IP67 sealing is compromised, as it may no longer be protected against environmental factors.

Q: Can the Outseal Mega V3 Standar operate at 12V?
A: No, the component is designed to operate within a voltage range of 3.3V to 5V. Using 12V may damage the component.

Q: Is the component suitable for underwater applications?
A: Yes, the IP67 rating ensures the component is waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, prolonged underwater use is not recommended.

Q: Can I use this component with a Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, the component is compatible with the 3.3V logic levels of a Raspberry Pi. Ensure proper connections and voltage levels.

Q: What is the maximum cable length for connecting the component?
A: The maximum cable length depends on the signal integrity and power supply stability. For most applications, a length of up to 1 meter is recommended.
