The K-Box is powered via the CAN and power connectors. It has been designed with CiA® 102 pinout for the CAN bus and power to connect the device as easily as possible.
Most commonly, it will be powered from a Rebel Logger using the Multi-Connect Cable, but you can also power it via pin 9 (4.5 to 36V) and pin-5 PowerGND of the nine-pin Sub-D connectors. If connected via the Multi-connect cable, the CAN 1 (MS) bus is also connected, allowing the logger to record the data transmitted from the K-Box.
When using a ReXgen Air device with K-Box device, be sure to get in touch with the technical support team at Influx.
Warning:
Several K-Boxes can be daisy chained via the additional DB9 Connector; however, they must have power supplied separately via power breakout in the Cable, not via the Logger. It can also be used to connect other devices, such as the Rebel Dash.
The pinout of the required Cable between the two K-Boxes is as follows:
If you power it from the Logger, the Logger will need to be powered from the vehicle or an external power source (NOT just via USB), and you will need to ensure the AUX power feature in the Configuration is set to “On”. To do this, follow the Steps Below:
Once the Edit Configuration window is displayed, click the “Settings” tab and checkmark Aux Power On.
Click “OK” to set the Aux Power on Setting in the Configuration.
Send the Configuration to the Logger by right-clicking on the “Project” and choosing “Send Configuration to the Logger.”
Notes:
Within the 'Project', you should have the bus that the K-Box is connected to set as CAN 1 (MS) if you are using the AUX connector of the Multi Connect Cable.
If you have the CAN bus that the K-Box is connected to set to the correct speed within your project, you will see the Status Light on Solid Orange and the CAN Light on Solid Green. If it is flashing green, the CAN bus is misconfigured; check the speed and termination.
Right-click on the “Project” you want to configure and select “Properties”. If you need to create a configuration, it is detailed in this document's ‘Loading the K-Box configuration into section.
