CANCrocodile and 1708Crocodile/ Operation principle ADVANCED VEHICLE TELEMATICS

CANCrocodile (1708Crocodile) allows to get the data

from serial buses without electrical contact to the wires.

The principle of operation is based on electromagnetic

field reading which is formed around the wires during
the signal running.
CAN (J1708)

CANCrocodile (1708Crocodile) generates the output

Tracker signal with information package that matches the
read-out data of the connected bus.

CAN bus
CANCrocodile (J1708 bus)
CANCrocodile (1708Crocodile) is compatible with all
(1708Crocodile) types of trackers that have a corresponding serial
port for connection.

CANCrocodile and 1708Crocodile/ Installation. CAN bus detection
ADVANCED VEHICLE TELEMATICS

Detection of CAN-H and CAN-L wires is carried out with help of

multimeter in recession status (when the button "ground" is
on and ignition is off) and in dominant status (when ignition
CAN-H key is turned to position "devices", when the engine is running
and is not running).

Voltage values shall be as follows: 2.5 V (recession), less than

2,5 V (CAN-L), more than 2,5 V (CAN-H).

Before you start CANCrocodile installation, you need to detect

CAN-l
CAN bus and define CAN-H and CAN-L wires.

Summary
ADVANCED VEHICLE TELEMATICS

ь Reads signals from wires of vehicle informational buses without damaging wires insulation or
interference into electronics of a vehicle.

ь Quick installation does not require special tools, wires are firmly fixed inside reader’s case. Ready
for operation after installation, no configuration needed.

ь Powered from vehicle’s 12/24V network. Applicable power supply range is 10-50V.

ь Light indication – LEDs allow visual inspecting of reader’s operation mode.

ь Reader’s wires meet requirements of automotive industry – wires are resistant to corrosion,
mechanical damages and temperature fluctuations.
