2 Setting Up a System
the FireWire connection cable is 1.5 A. The supply connection must be repeated if
the chain is longer.
CAUTION
For power distribution via FireWire, an external voltage supply with the same
voltage potential is required on every third module.
If several amplifiers are operated non-synchronously, they must be supplied
separately.
Uninterruptible power supply
It is recommended to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in vehicles with
battery operation between the battery and module to compensate for voltage drops
during start procedures. HBM offers the 1-UPX002-2 which can provide
uninterruptible power for up to three MX modules.
To use the UPX002 unit, connect the power supply to the input power connector
using a 1-KAB2115-2 cable. Connect the UPX002 output power cable to the X104
power supply port of the MX module.
For more information on the UPX002 capabilities, refer to the 1-UPX002-2 Data
Sheet.
2.3 Connecting a single module to host PC
Single Ethernet connection
To connect a module to the host PC via Ethernet, simply connect the 1-KAB273-5
Ethernet cable to the X100 port of the module and the Ethernet port of the PC.
