Starting in 2016, CARB and EPA mandated standard that all vehicles support 500K J1939, resulting in the development of a new Type-2 9-pin connector. This connector can have up to 3 CAN channels (Tri CAN). The DLA+ 2.0 and DLA+ 2.0 Wireless adapters and their cables will work with all existing vehicles and with newer vehicles that will have the Type-2 9-pin connector. LED Indicators DLA+ 2.0 Adapter Family of products will support different LED indicators. The following table defines the LEDs and meaning per adapter: DLA+ 2.0 Wireless DLA+ 2.0 Trailer Diagnostics J1708 Tri CAN/J1939 K-Line ( KWP, ISO9141 J1850 (VPW – GM) J2497 / PLC4Trucks USB Connectivity Wireless 802.11 b/g Firmware updates ( via USB Power ( from Vehicle...

  • Page 53: Wireless Reception Guidelines For Dla+ 2.0 Wireless

    Wireless Reception Guidelines for DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Wireless Reception Guidelines for DLA+ 2.0 Wireless Reduce obstructions between the PC and the DLA+ 2.0 Wireless: • All metallic surfaces in the area will reflect radio signals and can disturb and reduce reception. • Non-metallic obstructions will absorb radio signals and can reduce reception. This includes walls, furniture, other vehicles, etc. Minimize interference: • Cordless phones share the 2.4Ghz radio band used by the PC and DLA+ 2.0 Wireless. These devices will interfere with the radio signal. Use cordless phones that use the 5.8Ghz or 900Mhz bands. • Microwave ovens radiate in the 2.4Ghz radio band used by the PC and DLA+ 2.0 Wireless. Keep microwave ovens out of the shop area. • Cell phones interfere with radio signals – keep phone conversations away from the PC and DLA+ 2.0 Wireless. • Electrical machinery causes radio noise. Try to stay away from machinery and take note if the signal is affected when certain equipment is activated. Maximize antenna reception: • DLA+ 2.0 Wireless: The DLA+ 2.0 Wireless’ antenna is on the back side of the adapter (opposite the LED’s). Keep the back side facing the PC and away from metal surfaces. The best orientation for the adapter is to be hung vertically with the back facing the PC and away from floorboards or other metal surfaces (adapter LED’s turned away from you). ü ü • PC/Laptop: Keep antennas away from power cords and other computer wires. A laptop’s antenna is contained inside the laptop casing – keep the laptop out in the clear and out of any enclosures. If reception is poor, move the PC to another location. Sometimes moving a few feet can help.
