2 INTRODUCTION 2 Introduction 2.1 Symbols The safety notices contained in this manual are identified with the danger symbol shown below: The safety notices as shown below contain extremely important information. They should be read carefully and respected. Danger: indicates an immediate danger with a high risk of loss of life or severe injury if not avoided. Warning: indicates a possible danger with a moderate risk of loss of life or severe injury if not avoided.
2.2 NOTES Warning: Operating a data logger in transmission mode can interfere with the proper functioning of safety and control components, resulting in the cancellation of the respective vehicle operating permit. It is the sole responsibility of the installing party to supervise this. Moreover, it is that same party’s obligation to instruct vehicle drivers on this matter, as well as to advise them on proper procedures. Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Warning: For use in restricted areas only.
2.3 USER INFORMATION CFR § 15.105 (B) 2.2.1 WLAN Warning: The frequencies between 5150MHz and 5350 MHz (Channels 32 - 68) of the 5GHz band are restricted to indoor use only in the following countries: AT EE IE PL BE ES IT PT BG FI LT RO CY FR LU SE CZ GR LV SI DE HR MT SK DK HU NL GB Placement of the µCROS SL inside a vehicle is considered outdoors for the scope of this restriction as the necessary signal dampening for ”indoors” cannot be garanteed.
3 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION 3 Hardware Description 3.1 Overview The µCROS SL is a compact data logger for use cases which demand a maximum of four CAN and one 100MBit Ethernet channel. Two analog, two digital inputs are added as additional means to log voltages and status over time and a digital output capable of delivering up to 0.5 A may be used to trigger or power external circuitry. Two USB ports may be used to add storage or to unload data.
3.4 CONNECTIONS 3.4 Connections 3.4.1 Front 1. Twin USB 2.0 connector for data and configuration file transfer. 2. Status LEDs. The status displayed by the LEDs are described in section 5.8 on page 12. 3. Front serial number. This number is the reference for the software licenses. 4. GPS SMA connector for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antenna cable of the external combination antenna PN 113846. 5.
4 DEFINITIONS 3.4.2 Back The single connector at the back side of the µCROS SL is the POWER/CAN/IO Connector. This connector bundles all the measurement signals and the power supply which usually are part of the test rig. This feature facilitates fast connect and disconnect of the µCROS SL from the device under test. The ordering code and the pinout of the connector are described in section 7.8.3 on page 30. 4 Definitions Download: data transfer from the µCROS SL to a host.
5.2 CAN BUSES 5.2 CAN buses The four CAN buses on the µCROS SL are fully functional CAN 2.0 Interfaces which may be used as data inputs to log and analyse CAN bus traffic and as CAN data outputs for traffic generated by the µCROS SL. For a complete specification see section 7.7.2 on page 27. 5.3 Configuration The µCROS SL is configured via a file named config.cfg which is fed into the device either via an USB stick with the file in the root directory on shutdown or via the web interface (see 5.11 on page 13.
5.7 FIRMWARE UPDATE 5.7 Firmware Update Attention: Make sure to connect the µCROS SL to a stable power supply before you start the update process. Any power interruption during the update may render the µCROS SL unusable. If this happened the µCROS SL needs to be send back to the manufacturer. The logger firmware update is done via the web interface. In order to update the firmware on an µCROS SL you need to connect to the web interface (see section 5.
5.11 WEB INTERFACE 5.11 Web Interface Warning: The µCROS SL contains a DHCP server. Do not connect the µCROS SL to an existing network unless you know exactly what you are doing. If connected other systems might unexpectedly change their IP addresses. The web interface is the main means of communication with the µCROS SL. Both firmware updates and configuration uploads are done via the web interface, and data transfers may be initiated by the interface as well.
5.11 WEB INTERFACE 5.11.1 Traffic Indicator The traffic indicator shows wether there is any networt traffic between the µCROS SL and an external host. The indicator has four status: No network traffic. Network traffic from µCROS SL to host. Network traffic from host to µCROS SL. Network traffic in both directions. 5.11.
5.12 WLAN 5.11.4 Config This button opens a register which lists the current logger configuration and manages upand download of new configuration files Download saves the current logger configuration to the host computer. Upload new loads a new configuration file into the µCROS SL. Edit includes advanced feature: manages subconfigurations in case the main configuration file specifies them. include file management is thoroughly described in the web interface manual. 5.11.
6 COMMISSIONING Warning: Make sure that the access points use allowable frequencies only. These differ from country to country especially for the 5GHz band so make sure the settings of the access point comply with local regulations. While it is possible to switch the µCROS SL into a mode where it can connect to hidden access points by enabling the active search mode this is strongly discouraged as it might lead to illegal use of frequency bands once the system enters another country.
6.2 ASSEMBLY/MOUNTING 6.1.2 Potential equalization The heat sink and the housing of the µCROS SL are connected to UB-. Attention: The housing is highly conductive! Make sure the µCROS SL is kept isolated from conducting objects with a potential difference to UB-. Stray electric currents between the housing and the power line may damage the cabling, housing and/or the µCROS SL. 6.
6.3 CABLING Attention: Maximum mounting torque 2 Nm. Use a washer M4 DIN125/ISO7089 between the screw head and the µCROS SL mounting hole. Use bolt adhesive instead of torque to secure the screws. Attention: Mount on even surfaces only. Mounting the µCROS SL on an uneven support may result in a warped or broken housing Attention: The antenna of the µCROS SL has to be mounted so that a minimum distance between the antenna and human bodys of at least 20 cm (8 inch) is maintained. 6.
7 TECHNICAL DATA Attention: Check whether local regulations demand a minimum wire cross section for electrical wires. Attention: Wireless operation of the µCROS SL is certified with the special combination antenna PN 113846 only. 7 Technical Data 7.1 General Data 7.1.1 Markings on the µCROS SL The markings found on the µCROS SL are described below: 7.1.1.1 Bottom labels: Changes and errors excepted. µCROS SL V1.

7.1 GENERAL DATA Flip the µCROS SL, hold the housing on the ESD mat and lift the POWER/CAN/IO connector until the PBC below the heat sink clears the housing on the side of the POWER/CAN/IO connector. Then pull on the POWER/CAN/IO connector until the SMA connectors cleared the holes in the housing and lift the heat sink up until housing and heat sink/PCB assembly separate. Put the housing aside for later reassembly and place the heat sink/PCB assembly with the PCB facing up on the ESD mat.
7.1 GENERAL DATA Insert the SIM card. Make sure the contacts face the contact springs of the card holder and the index corner is positioned correctly. Close the card holder again until the locking bar snaps into place. Place the housing of the µCROS SL on the ESD mat and slide the heat sink/PCB assembly into it until the leading edge of the heet sink contacts the housing.
7.1 GENERAL DATA Retain the housing by placing your index fingers on the protituding tabs, put your thumbs on the POWER/CAN/IO connector and push towards the heat sink until the heat sink/PCB assembly drops into the housing. Some force will be needed to overcome the initial resistance. Attention: Make sure to keep your fingers away from the gap between the housing and the heat sink to avoid pinching your skin. Flip the assembly and attach the screws.
