Device installation (XG47-CAN)

The central unit is suitable for installation in both interior and exterior locations of the vehicle. Leveraging its IP67 ingress protection rating, the device is engineered to withstand exposure to dust, water, and other environmental factors, making it appropriate for placement within the engine compartment, adjacent to the cabin exterior, or other exposed areas.

For optimal performance of the integrated GNSS receiver, the unit should be mounted in a horizontal, face-up orientation. This positioning maximizes satellite visibility and signal quality.

To ensure accurate acquisition of inertial data from the onboard accelerometers, the device must be securely and rigidly mounted to the vehicle chassis or another solid structural component. The central unit must be fastened using four mounting screws to prevent vibration-induced measurement errors or positional drift.

BATTERY+ — positive wire of power supply

Power supply of central unit has to be connected to permanent power (e.g. battery), using 3A fuse.

MINUS — ground wire of power supply

Ground wire should be connected to the vehicle body (e.g. existing grounding point). A reliable electrical contact with the body must be ensured, wire has to be bolted.

IN2, IN3 — digital inputs

Connect a vehicle circuit that supplies voltage only during a specific status condition (e.g., ignition ON, door lock activation, etc.) to one of the device’s digital input channels.

OUT1, 12V OUT — outputs

OUT1 - is an open-drain output. When inactive, the output remains in a high-impedance state (electrically floating and effectively disconnected). Upon activation, OUT1 transitions to a low-resistance state, creating a direct connection to the device’s ground reference (MINUS pin). This allows external circuits to be pulled to ground through OUT1 when enabled.

12V OUT is a dedicated power output providing a stabilized 12V DC supply with a maximum current capacity of 50 mA. This output is intended for powering low-consumption external sensors or auxiliary devices. Ensure that the total current draw of connected peripherals does not exceed the specified limit to maintain stable operation and avoid potential damage to the internal power regulation circuitry.

ADC4, ADC5 — analog inputs

The analog input channels are designed to interface with external devices by measuring input voltage levels. Channels ADC5 and ADC4 support a measurement range of 0 to 31V DC, enabling the acquisition of analog signals from a variety of remote sensors or transducers. These inputs are equipped with internal analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to facilitate precise voltage monitoring for system diagnostics, telemetry, or control functions.
