# Getting Started

## 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 stand-alone 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 connector A, a male 9-pin standard 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
* Please do not use the logger's USB port for stand-alone data logging, as it may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
  {% endhint %}

### CAN/CAN FD

ReXgen2 can be interfaced to the CAN/CAN FD bus, from which data will be logged via connector A or B. The CAN-high and CAN-low from the vehicle or machine terminals must match the CAN-high and CAN-low terminals of the ReXgen2. ReXgen2 should be configured with the same baud rate as the device to which it is interfaced.

**Notes:**

* The Connector must be adequately tightened to ensure a reliable connection and reliable operation. 
* Each CAN/CAN FD bus end must be terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor across CAN H & CAN L. 
* Do not short-circuit any pins. 
* The maximum safe applied voltage is +28V. 
* CAN/CAN FD 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 %}

### ANALOG & DIGITAL INPUT

ReXgen2 supports two analog inputs in the range of ±10 V. The 2 analog inputs are interfaced to the eXgen2 via connector B (D-Sub 9). ReXgen2 also supports two digital inputs. The digital inputs are interfaced to the ReXgen2 via connector A on the D-Sub 9.

**Notes:**

* The connector needs to be adequately tightened to ensure a proper connection and reliable operation. 
* Do not short-circuit any pins. 
* The maximum safe applied voltage is +28V
* Please do not use the logger's USB port for stand-alone data logging, as it may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
