Operation

3.1 Operation
A configuration of the PCAN-Optoadapter is not needed. You can
use it instantly.
For general supply the adapter uses a direct voltage of +5 V. This
must be applied to pin 1 of the CAN connector. The CAN interfaces
of the PCAN series are able to provide 5 Volts on Pin 1.
When the 5 V supply is active, the LED on the PCAN-Optoadapter is
green.
Attention! Risk of short circuit! When you connect the PCAN-
Optoadapter to or remove it from a CAN interface, latter must
be turned off (without power supply). Otherwise the PCAN-
Optoadapter or other electronic components may be damaged.
