Exercise care as bending or pulling on cables under such conditions can damage insulation and cause wiring breaks.
Overview 1.1 Product Overview and Features The SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor can detect CAN communications signals, which are used in control communications in automobiles and in a variety of devices, from outside cables’ insulation. Captured CAN signals can be connected to analyzers, loggers, and other measuring instruments with a CAN interface.

2.2 Connecting the SP9200 Signal Probes Connect to the SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor. Connect the SP9200 to the SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor’s signal probe connector. IMPORTANT • Leave the Signal Probe connected to prevent deterioration of the Signal Probe and Non- Contact CAN Sensor's connector’s contacts and to keep out dirt.
Connecting the SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor 2.3 Connecting the SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor Connect the SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor’s output connector to the SP7100 CAN Interface’s Non-Contact CAN Sensor connector. CAUTION Handle each connector of the product. Do not use tools.
SP7100 CAN Interface SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor ground terminal If connecting the CAN interface’s ground terminal to the ground cannot reduce the noise, connect to the Non-Contact CAN Sensor’s ground terminal to the CAN signal source’s ground or to the body of a vehicle in the vicinity of the CAN signal source (ground connected to the vehicle battery’s...

Connecting the Ground Terminal Example equivalent circuit diagram for ground common SP7100 CAN Interface rear AC coupling The Non-Contact CAN Sensor and the CAN Interface are AC-coupled. This design serves to prevent a short-circuit in the event the Non-Contact CAN Sensor’s sensor ground or a Signal Probe’s guard hook comes into contact with a DC power supply (such as a battery).
Connecting the SP7100 CAN Interface 2.5 Connecting the SP7100 CAN Interface Connect the SP7100 CAN Interface’s CAN signal output connector to the CAN interface-equipped device with which you wish to use it. The CAN Interface’s output connector carries both CH1 and CH2 data. Connect the SP7100 after checking the pin assignment in use for the D-sub 9-pin by the SP7100 and the device you plan to use.
Supplying Power 2.6 Supplying Power You can supply power to the SP7100 CAN Interface with either the Z1008 AC Adapter or the L9500 Power Cable. Choose the power source that is best suited to your operating environment. The SP7100 CAN Interface does not have a power switch. IMPORTANT Use the spiral tubes (which come with the SP7100) to secure the Z1008 AC Adapter or L9500 Power Cable in place so that the plug does not come out.
Connecting the Signal Probes to the CAN bus 2.7 Connecting the Signal Probes to the CAN bus Connect the tips of the SP9200 Signal Probes to the CAN bus. Connect the Signal Probe HIGH connected to the terminal labeled to the CAN_H line and the other Signal Probe to the CAN_L line.
Page 25
Connecting the Signal Probes to the CAN bus Example of a poorly positioned cable Guard hook Grip The detection electrode Sleeve Sleeve will move if the grip is not tightened sufficiently. If the grip has not been tightened sufficiently, the detection electrode will move when the Signal Probe’s sleeve is pulled. The Signal Probes are susceptible to the effects of nearby conductors (cables). Take care to keep the Signal Probes away from wires and other conductors since the magnitude of the effect is greater the closer the conductor is to the guard hook opening.
Inspecting the Product Before Use 2.8 Inspecting the Product Before Use Before using the product, inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during storage or shipment. If you find any damage, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller. Inspect all parts. Is there any cracking or damage Send back the product for repair.
Functionality 3.1 Switching the Non-Contact CAN Sensor’s Signal Detection Sensitivity This section describes how to switch the Non-Contact CAN Sensor’s signal detection sensitivity (SENSITIVITY). Use the DEFAULT setting for most applications. Select HIGH as necessary depending on the CAN signal level and cable effects. Setting Description DEFAULT The DEFAULT setting represents the normal mode.
Probe Setting Function (Automatic Polarity Selection) 3.2 Probe Setting Function (Automatic Polarity Selection) The probe setting function automatically selects the Signal Probe’s polarity. It is a convenient function that automatically switches the sensor input when the SP9200 signal probes have been connected in reverse to the Non-Contact CAN Sensor input label (HIGH/LOW). IMPORTANT When performing rigorous evaluations, for example in bus testing that includes verification of wiring consistency, connect the high and low Signal Probes to the CAN bus’s high and low...
Output Bus Error Detection Function 3.3 Output Bus Error Detection Function This function determines that an output error has occurred when the SP7100 CAN Interface is unable to output a proper CAN signal to the bus connected to the CAN signal output connector. The SP7100 CAN interface output does not have CAN signal arbitration functionality.
