5.4. Hardware installation
This chapter provides important notes regarding the hardware setup.
NOTICE
Risk of property damage.
- Fasten the cable harness with a suitable strain relief near the CAN / power connector to avoid
the transmission of any tension, strains, or vibrations.
- Ensure that there is minimum bending radius of 8 time the outer diameter of the cable harness
NOTICE
Inadequate radio connection
The radio connection is affected by any obstacles and interference.
- Choose the mounting location so that as few obstructions as possible can influence the radio
connection.
- When installing, observe the required minimum distance to other antennas and radio devices.
- Avoid interference with other wireless networks.
- Do not stick additional labels on the device. Depending on the nature of the material, these
stickers can severely impair the signal quality. Relevant for CANlink wireless 4001 with internal
antenna.
- The integrator must not modify the device (i.e. place RF-damping labels on it) or mount the
device in such a way, that antenna performance is influenced.
- Implement a control-side end-to-end connection monitoring
It is the full responsibility of the integrator, to integrate the device in his application in such
a way, that an adequate antenna performance is achieved, and the regulatory requirements
are fulfilled.
INFORMATION
Please be aware that the measured performance values from chapter Interfaces were determined
in the free field without significant interference or signal dampening.
The maximum range, latency and the possible message throughput may vary considerably
depending on the environmental influences, setup condition, the used antennas and, if applicable,
the hardware installed for the WLAN infrastructure.
Please consider these values just as approximate reference values which can be achieved in a
specific test setup under ideal conditions.
It is the system integrators responsibility to verify the connection stability and performance under
real ambient conditions as part of the final application and setup.
