Viper Installation and Operators Manual 2.08

Adding Nodes to the CAN System

You can add up to five products to the Viper CAN system plus AccuBoom, and/or

Autoboom. The minimum nodes Viper requires for CAN product application are the

Boom/Speed Node or Combo node and one product node.

Important: The Viper can be connected to a serial console and be

connected to a CAN AccuBoom or CAN AutoBoom node without

needing a Boom/Speed node and Product node.

1. Remove the terminator from the end of the CAN bus.

2. Using a “T” expansion cable, tie into the CAN bus. You can use one of the

following cables:

3. Connect the boom interface cable to the previously installed “T” cable.

Contact your Raven distributor for the correct part number for your

application.

4. Connect the boom speed node (P/N 063-0172-272) to the boom interface cable

(gray connector to gray connector and black connector to black connector).

5. Add a second “T” expansion cable to the end of the CAN bus cable.

6. Connect the product node cable to the CAN bus cable. Contact your Raven

distributor for the correct part number for your application.

7. Connect the product node cable to a source of high current power and logic

power. Provide power to the node from a switched power source that is

capable of handling the required current for the nodes. You can approximate

the required current from the fuse rating of the fuse on the power leads. If the

switched source can not supply sufficient current for the nodes, install a power

relay (P/N 415-1001-009) which can provide up to 40 amps.

Important: Connect the ground directly to the battery

terminals and the logic to the Clean Power Buss.

8. Connect the product node to the product node cable (gray connector to gray

connector and black connector to black connector).

9. Replace the terminator on the end of the CAN bus system.
