CONFIGURATION: 
 
Configuration of the Wireless CAN Bridge is accomplished by manually setting switches 
inside its enclosure.  The CAN Bridge enclosure lid must be removed to access the 
configuration switches.  Users may only perform the configuration described in this 
manual.  Changing other switch or trimmer settings may invalidate agency approvals. 
 
To access configuration switches, first, use a flat screwdriver to pry off the two 
decorative covers at the right and left ends of the lid.  Four pry slots are provided as 
shown below.  Then unscrew the four screws that attach the lid to the chassis of the 
Wireless CAN Bridge using a philips or a flat screwdriver. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Wireless CAN Bridge has 12 configuration switches arranged in 2 banks S1 and 
S2.  Each bank contains 6 switches.  These switches allow the user to easily customize 
the Wireless CAN Bridge to fit the desired application.
