Intended Use

The device provides access to the CAN data of a vehicle or machine in various operating modes:

CAN-CAN Bridge: wireless transmission of CAN data between CANlink wireless devices, e.g. as a substitute for CAN cables in drag chains or with remote control units.

  • CAN-Bluetooth Interface: wireless transmission of CAN data to a Bluetooth terminal device.

  • CAN-Wi-Fi® Interface: wireless transmission of CAN data to devices in the wireless network.

  • CAN-BLE Interface: wireless transmission of CAN data to a BLE terminal device, such as a phone, tablet or PC.

In Interface mode, CAN data can be transmitted to other Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth devices such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets for displaying and evaluation of data.

The device is suitable for use in mobile and stationary systems for industry, small business, agricultural, construction and forestry machinery.

Failure of safety-related functions due to deficient data transmission

Severe injury or death. The device operates using radio signals and is not authorized for use in safety-related applications. Insufficient Wi-Fi® availability, interference or malfunctioning of the device can cause faulty data transmission. Because of this, data transmission cannot be always guaranteed and under all conditions.

  • Never operate the device in machines or applications where life depends on the fault-free operation of this device.
  • Never rely solely on wireless devices for essential communications.
  • The device is designed to be used in systems which must be checked for conformity with the respective valid legal requirements prior to putting into operation. The integrator of the device is responsible for ensuring that the device complies with all regional regulations and requirements.
  • The device must only be put into operation by qualified technicians and electricians with advanced knowledge of electrical engineering and fieldbus systems

The CANlink® wireless 4000 series can be used in environments that require protection class IP6K7.

Note

Protection classes IP6K7 are only guaranteed when all connectors of the device are equipped with their corresponding connector plugs and the and the device is installed in accordance with the hints from chapter Mounting the Device.

Only use the device within the permitted temperature range and the other parameters specified in the technical data. Any use other than that described under "Intended use" is considered unintended use.

Misuse

The device does not comply with Directive 2014/34/EU and may not be used in potentially explosive areas.

Qualified Personnel

The device must only be put into operation by qualified technicians and electricians with advanced knowledge of electrical engineering and fieldbus systems. The specialist personnel must know the contents of this manual and always have access to it.

Note

Risk of Property damage.

A defective device must be inspected and repaired by a trained {company_name} service technician.

Do not open the device housing by yourself.

Note

Risk of Property damage.

Device is not installed in accordance with the setup requirements and permitted environmental conditions.

  • The system integrator is responsible to install the device according to the specification and take corrective action in regards mechanical protection against soiling, water penetration and vibration.
  • If necessary, install external protection shields. For example, an additional housing to protect the device from jet water.
  • Install the device according to the recommended mounting position.
  • Ensure that the cable management fulfils the required mechanical protection, insulation from vibration and strain.
