Mounting the module
IQAN-XC21 is designed as a in cab module and is meant to be mounted in a protected
environment. The housing is designed for stacking multiple modules, providing a high
density of I/O in a small footprint.
The IQAN module should be mounted according to the following instructions:
• Locate the module eliminating the risk for the cabling to be folded, crushed or
damaged in any way. Ensure the cabling cannot pull, twist or induce sideload on the
connector.
• Locate the module so that severe physical impact is avoided, e.g impact from falling
objects or the module being used as a step.
• Locate the module so that air can circulat to eliminate excess heat. Ensure that no
external heat, e.g. from the engine or heater, is transferred to the module.
• Locate the module so that the LEDs are visible.
NOTICE
The IQAN module must not be placed in any marine related or similar continuously
damp, salt-spray environment without external protection.
Assembling of the ID-Tag
The ID-Tag will be placed in the connector in order to address/ terminate the module.
Any IQAN ID-Tags with AMP or Deutsch terminals may be used by replacing the
contacts with the correct type, see section "Installation". All IQAN expansion modules
require an ID-tag, refer to section "Addressing/terminating".
