Module connectors
A single module slot is provided with the S3 hardware. Each installed module would have connector
information. Any expansion module can provide power to the S3 tool. Please make certain of the pin
assignments for the individual module before applying voltage to the pins marked
VBAT
(positive or
negative).
Never
power the tool through an expansion module and the power jack
simultaneously
.
2.1.4.5
RS-232 connector
This can be used if programming the S3 hardware for user-defined applications. The serial port can
be used to communicate with the S3.
2.1.4.6
Power jack connector
If you are not powering the S3 tool via the Vehicle DLC connector or the module, you may do so
through the standard 5.5 mm connector (with positive center pin). The S3 tool operates with an input
voltage between 6 and 32 VDC. (During normal operation, a voltage of approximately 12 volts
should be applied.)
