WIRING THE CONTROLLER
11.1
Recommended Wiring Practices
This section contains information about the controller
connectors and pin outs. Please use the following
recommended wiring practices when installing and
using the controller:
•
Ensure correct and adequate single point ground to
prevent ground loops.
•
Use twisted or twisted shielded pair cable for CAN
per the applicable standard ISO11989-2.
•
Confirm that the CAN network is properly
terminated using 120Ω resistors.
•
Ensure the appropriate sized conductor cross
section is specified for the intended load current in
the harness design.
Note: Please review individual overcurrent shutdown values in
the configuration and use the correct wire gauge conductor to
accommodate maximum load current configured
•
Make sure that voltage drops are kept within
reasonable levels under maximum continuous load
conditions e.g. 1 volt on 12-volt systems and 2
volts on 24-volt systems.
•
Verify that the harness is constructed to meet the
needs of the application environment (e.g. shock,
vibration, moisture, temperature, chemicals, and
impact).
•
Make certain that the harness is designed and
constructed to minimize induced interference
resulting from EMI coupling between signal wires.
•
Separate power circuits from low-level signals.
•
All splices (soldered or crimped) should be
covered with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing.
•
Make provisions for drip loops to attach devices in
exposed locations and prevent moisture entry and
formation.
•
Provide sufficient clearance from moving parts.
•
Wires routed through holes in the vehicle body/
chassis should use grommets.
•
Avoid sharp metal edges, fasteners, and other
abrasive surfaces or use protective shielding when
routing harness assembly.
•
Route wires to avoid exhaust system components
or other high temperature areas, use appropriate
heat shielding or other insulation where routing is
a problem.
•
Avoid routing near wheel wells or provide
adequate mechanical protection to the assembly.
