# Connecting the Device

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Attention:**

* A qualified technician must install, connect, and commission the device.
* Ensure the power supply is disconnected before connecting the device.
* Please do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as it may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
* Only use components from the starter kits or the accessories supplied.
  {% endhint %}

### POWER

Power supply to the product is provided via the male, 9-pin D-type connector.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Notes:**

* The connector needs to be adequately tightened to ensure a reliable connection and proper operation.
* Do not short-circuit any pins.
* The maximum safe applied voltage is +34V.
  {% endhint %}

### CAN

ReXgen 1 can be interfaced to the CAN bus, from which data will be logged using D-Sub 9. The CAN-high and CAN-low from the vehicle or machine terminals must match the CAN-high and CAN-low terminals of the ReXgen1. ReXgen1 should be configured with the same baud rate as the device to which it is interfaced.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Warning:**

* The connector needs to be adequately tightened to ensure a reliable connection and proper operation.
* Each end of the CAN bus must be terminated with a 120Ω resistor across CAN H & CAN L.
* Do not short-circuit any pins.
* The maximum safe applied voltage is +28V.
* CAN bus is not isolated by default; isolating devices can be purchased separately.
* Please do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as it may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
  {% endhint %}

### USB

A USB cable can be used to interface with and power the device as a PASS-THRU device. It will configure the device for data retrieval as a data logger.

#### Attention:

* Please do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as it may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
