DESCRIPTION

LEVEL

1 +IN Input

Power supply input. The power supply must be able to meet the

requirements of current consumption. Care must be taken so that the

operating voltage, applied to the device, stay within the voltage

range. Applying a voltage outside of the voltage range can damage

the device. For security reason, it is recommended to integrate

externally a 2A fuse link between power source and FOX3-2G/3G/4G.

+IN

= + 10.8 ... + 32.0 V

Imax ≤ 1.5 A

GND

Ground.

0 V

3 IGN Input

General purpose input. It can be either connected to the vehicle

ignition and be used for journey START and STOP reports, or be

connected to the operating voltage +IN and be used to wakeup the

FOX3-2G/3G/4G devices from IGN-Sleep mode (awaking from this

mode requires a HIGH signal)

. See also chapter 7.1.3.4.

HIGH ≥+10.8 .. +32.0 V DC; LOW =

4 I/O1 Input/Output

Software configurable pins. Each pin has dual functions as analog or

digital. Each digital pin can individually be set either as input or

output.

Every time the device starts up, a level change occurs on the I/O2 and

I/O3 pins. Only I/O1 doesn't change the level on device start up.

Pins I/O2 and I/O3 support CAN communication if this interface is

activated. The CAN-

Bus interface can be activated using the

corresponding PFAL command (see PFAL command set for more

details). In this case the I/O2 = CAN_L and the I/O3 = CAN_H).

OUT: 100 mA max. @ +0 .. +32.0V

DC (open collector)

5 I/O2

IN: 0 V..+32.0V DC

(High & Low levels are free-

programmable)

7 RxA_0 Input

(Serial Port 0) The serial port (receive data) for direct connection to

the host PC (for configuration, evaluation, firmware). If this pin is not

used leave it open.

V24, ±12 V

8 TxA_0 Output

(Serial Port 0) Serial port (transmit data) for direct connection to the

host PC (for transmitting history data, output GPS protocols and

more). If not used leave it open.
