The CANM8 CANNECT POWER is an interface which is an ideal solution for connection to vehicles which feature CAN Bus wiring where a standard ignition-on reference is unavailable. This interface also provides an output on vehicles which feature start-stop technology, meaning that the output will not cancel when the vehicle enters start-stop mode. The interface also features “Key-In” detection with compatible vehicles enabling the ignition-on output to remain active when the ignition is turned off but the key remains in the ignition.

Outputs

• Ignition On: 12v (1A max) when the ignition is switched on.

Applications

The CANM8 CANNECT POWER is ideal for use when installing any after-market equipment that requires an input signal when the vehicle ignition is switched on.

Installation Details

The interface features a mini wiring connector, which unplugs to allow easy installation. There are 2 connections to the vehicle CAN Bus wiring (CAN HI & CAN LO) along with a connection to a permanent, fused 12v power supply and an earth connection.

The interface incorporates a multi-function status LED, which indicates correct connection to the CAN system, CAN activity present and confirmation that the CAN identity has been recognised.

LED Status Details

• Flashing Red: Searching for CAN information.
• Solid Red: CAN Data received but vehicle not yet identified.
• Solid Green: CAN Data received and vehicle type recognised.
• Flashing Green: Vehicle speed detected.

Wiring Harness Details

• BLACK: connect to a good chassis GROUND point.
• WHITE: CAN HI Connection : Vehicle CAN HI wire.
• BLUE: CAN LO Connection : Vehicle CAN LO wire.
• PURPLE Ignition On Output : 12v (1A max) when the ignition is switched on.
