CAN CrocoLITE CAN Bus Interface - Data Sheet - Clip-On CAN Interface

Overview

The CAN CrocoLITE CAN Bus Interface provides a quick and convenient way of tapping onto a CAN Bus when recording vehicle signals using Racelogic data logging systems. Using an innovative clip-on design, it eliminates the need to hard-wire directly onto the CAN Bus and can be easily fitted by most users.

Available unterminated, or with Mini-Din, Lemo or D Type connectors, the RLACS305 is suitable for use with most Racelogic systems.

Key features

Reads CAN signals through wires insulation without interfering into its integrity.
Zero impact on the electronic and electrical equipment of the vehicle.
One cable fits all vehicles / equipment.
Compact open-frame design allows handy connection to the wires of CAN bus even in the most hard-to-reach places of a car.
No intrusive signals can be transferred to the vehicle CAN bus.
Powered from vehicle’s onboard power supply - does not require an additional equipment (power supply unit).
Protected against reverse polarity.
Easy to install and operate.
