# Getting Started

## CONNECTING THE DEVICE

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

* A qualified technician must install, connect, and commission the device.
* Ensure the power supply is disconnected before connecting the device.
* Only use components from the starter kits or the accessories supplied.
* Do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as this may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
* ReXgen Air is an IP50 device (please ensure it is covered when mounting it in locations that may have water ingress).
  {% endhint %}

## POWER

A Molex connector provides power to the product. If the customer uses the multi-connect cables, DSub 9 or DSub 25 will be used for all other connections.

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

* The connector needs to be adequately tightened to ensure a proper connection and reliable operation.&#x20;
* Do not short-circuit any pins.&#x20;
* Signal inputs (CAN, analogue or digital) should not exceed ±28 V.
* For stable operation, ensure all sensors and inputs share the same ground as the unit's power supply.
* Do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as this may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
* ReXgen Air is an IP50 device (please ensure it is covered when mounting it in locations that may have water ingress).
  {% endhint %}

## CAN/CAN FD

ReXgen Air 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 ReXgen Air. ReXgen Air should be configured with the same baud rate as the device to which it is interfaced.

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

* The connector needs to be adequately tightened to ensure a proper connection and reliable operation.
* Each end of the CAN/CAN FD bus must be terminated with a 120-ohm resistor across CAN H and CAN L. Do not short-circuit pins.&#x20;
* The maximum safe applied voltage is +28V.&#x20;
* CAN/CAN FD bus is not isolated by default; isolating devices can be purchased separately.
* Do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as this may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
* ReXgen Air is an IP50 device (please ensure it is covered when mounting it in locations that may have water ingress).
  {% endhint %}

## ANALOG AND DIGITAL INPUT

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

**Attention:**

* The connector needs to be adequately tightened to ensure a proper connection and reliable operation.&#x20;
* Do not short-circuit any pins.&#x20;
* Signal inputs (CAN, analogue or digital) should not exceed ±28 V.
* For stable operation, ensure all sensors and inputs share the same ground as the unit's power supply.
* Do not use the logger's USB port for data logging, as this may damage the port and will not be covered under warranty.
* ReXgen Air is an IP50 device (please ensure it is covered when mounting it in locations that may have water ingress).

## USB

You can connect the device to a PC via the USB communication gateway for configuration and testing. The device is supplied with a standard Micro USB cable. Please note that the USB is not isolated; an isolator can be purchased separately.

\*x1 micro USB cable to be supplied with any quantity of ReXgen Air purchased.
