Solution
• Connect the node and re-initialize the console to
read the product node.
• Connect the clean power - 16 gauge red wire
and high current power - 12 gauge red wire from
the product node to a 12V DC power source that
is capable of supplying power to all nodes
connected to the CANbus system.
• Connect the clean ground - 16 gauge white wire
and the high current ground - 12 gauge white
wire to a good, quality ground source. Raven
recommends grounding the wires to the negative
terminal of the battery.
• Make sure that each node has a separate power
and ground connection.
• Make sure that both ends of the CANbus system
are properly terminated.
• Check CANbus cable connectors for any highly
corroded pins.
• Ensure dielectric grease has been applied to all
cable connections exposed to weather and field
conditions.
• Check CANbus cable connectors for any
corroded pins.
• Ensure dielectric grease has been applied to all
cable connections exposed to weather and field
conditions.
• Check that all CANbus cable connectors are
inserted fully (until the locking tab is engaged).
• Be sure to remove any moisture in connections
which were not properly seated. Check for
corroded pins and apply dielectric grease when
reconnecting CANbus cables.
