FOX3-KMD HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.1 5. FOX3-KMD APPLICATION INTERFACE 5.1. Power supply The power supply for the FOX3-KMD devices has to be a single voltage source of V +IN = +10.8 V...+32.0 V DC. The operating voltage (V+IN) has to be applied permanently to the FOX3-KMD devices and able to provide sufficient current of up to 1.5 A (pulse). The operating voltage (V+IN and GND) is not protected against voltage spikes and reverse polarity, but NOT protected against continuous overvoltage.
FOX3-KMD HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.1 6. HARDWARE INTERFACES This chapter describes the hardware interfaces: Interface specifications Antenna Ports FAKRA connectors for connecting GSM/3G & GNSS antennas. Main Port The 8pin double-row connector, type: MOLEX-43045-08-MICRO FIT. It provides IN/OUT, power supply and first serial port (SER0) lines.
FOX3-KMD HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.1 6.1. Main Port (8pin connector) Figure 2: 6.1.1. PIN Pin assignments of 8-pin (2x4) connector and installation cable connection (CA39 with 2A fuse). Main Port Pinout NAME DIRECTION DESCRIPTION Power supply input. The power supply must be able to meet the requirements of current consumption. For security reason, it is recommended to integrate externally a 2A fuse link between power source and FOX3-KMD. V+IN = + 10.8 ... + 32.0 V Imax ≤ 1.5 A Ground.
FOX3-KMD HARDWARE MANUAL 6.1.1.2. VERSION 1.0.1 How to use I/O1 (pin 4) This pin has dual functions. It is controlled by the internal firmware of FOX3-KMD. Therefore, the user must define whether to use it as analog or digital pin. The configured digital pin can also be used as input or output while the if configured as analog pin it can only be used as input. The command PFAL,IO0.Config controlls its functionality. $PFAL,IO0.Config=AI,2,11 // 0 = I/O1; AI = analog; 2 and 11 = min. and max.
FOX3-KMD HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.1 As digital output: connection example 1 (for I/O1): When used as digital output you can connected via resistors (R) directly to LEDs, Relays etc., which do not need more power than 100 mA @ up to + 32.0 V DC. Figure 5: 6.1.1.3. Connection example 1 when using it to control a Relay (left) or LED (right). How to use IGN (pin 3) It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to the ignition key to support the IGN-power saving function when the vehicle is off.
