CANedge2 Docs, Release FW 01.04.02
Warning:
Opening the enclosure can permanently damage the device due to e.g. ESD (electrostatic
discharge) - and improper handling may void the warranty
0.3.1.7 Mounting
The device should be mounted in a way that minimizes vibration exposure and accounts for the IP rating
of the device.
0.3.1.8 Antenna
The device uses an external WiFi antenna.
The antenna satisfies the constraints under which the
contained WiFi module has been tested - in particular, it has a max gain of 2dBi. The antenna can be
replaced or extended.
If you need to re-orient, disconnect, re-connect or tighten the antenna, you should use the proper tight-
ening mechanism. Specifically, you should not directly turn the antenna (as this may loosen the internal
connection to the PCB) - rather, you should first loosen the nut, after which you can e.g. re-orient the
antenna and then re-tighten the nut.
It is critical that the antenna is properly connected at all times and that it is not loose when the CANedge
is powered on. Operation with a loose antenna or without the antenna entirely can damage the device.
0.3.2 Connector
0.3.2.1 Pinout
The CANedge uses two D-sub9 connectors for supply, 2 x CAN, 2 x LIN and a 5 V Supply Output.
Make sure to refer to the pinout matching the product hardware revision (see the label).
