Operating Precautions
Operating Precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautionary information to ensure that the product can be used
safelyandinamannerthatallowsittoperformasdescribedinitsspecications.Useoftheproduct
shouldconformnotonlytoitsspecications,butalsotothespecicationsofallaccessories,
options, and other equipment in use.
Handling of the product
WARNING
Do not use the product in locations such as those listed below. Doing so may
result in product damage or cause an accident.
•Locations where the product would be subject to direct sunlight or high
temperatures
•Locations where corrosive or explosive gases are present
•Locations where there is powerful electromagnetic radiation or that are close to
electrically charged objects
•Close to inductive heating equipment (high-frequency inductive heating
equipment, IH cooktops, etc.)
•Locations with an excessive amount of mechanical vibration
•Locations where the product would be exposed to water, oil, chemicals,
solvents, or other liquids
•Locations with excessive humidity or condensation
•Locations with excessive dust
CAUTION
• Do not drop the product or subject it to mechanical shock.
Doingsomaydamagetheproductandadverselya󰀨ectingitsdetectionperformance.
• Do not handle the product’s connectors with your bare hands or manipulate them with
tools.
Subjecting connectors to excessive force may damage them.
• Do not connect the product to cables (CAN bus lines) other than those described in
thespecications.
Doing so may damage the cable under test.
• The product complies with EN 61326 Class A. Use in residential settings such as neighborhoods
may cause radio or television interference. If you encounter such interference, take appropriate
steps to prevent it.
• When transporting the product, take care to avoid subjecting it to vibration or mechanical shock.

Operating Precautions
Cables
CAUTION
• To avoid damaging their insulation, do not step on or pinch the product’s cables.
• Donotplaceforeignobjectsintheguardhook(p. 10).
Doing so may cause issues with signal detection or opening/closing operation of the
product.
• Cables harden in freezing temperatures. Exercise care as bending or pulling on
cables under such conditions can damage insulation and cause wiring breaks.
• Attach the signal probe to the cable under test after checking the cable for
deteriorated or damaged insulation.
The product detects CAN signals such as those used to communicate with ECUs in a
contactless manner from outside the cable insulation. Any electrical short between the
signal probe and cable wires could interfere with CAN communications.
• To prevent damage to the product’s special vibration-resistant connectors, always
disengage the lock and grip the connector itself (not the cable) when disconnecting
them.
Referto“2.2ConnectingtheSP9200SignalProbes”(p. 14).
Z1008 AC Adapter
WARNING
• The Z1008 AC Adapter has a rated supply voltage of 100 V to 240 V and a rated
frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. To prevent damage to the product or an electric
accident, never use the adapter with any other voltage.
• To prevent electric shock and ensure safety, connect the included power cord to a
grounded two-prong outlet.

1Overview
1.1 Product Overview and Features
The SP7001/SP7002 Non-Contact CAN Sensor can detect CAN communications signals, which
are used in control communications in automobiles and in a variety of devices, from outside cables’
insulation.
Captured CAN signals can be connected to analyzers, loggers, and other measuring instruments
with a CAN interface.

Electrical
System

Panel
Contactless sensing that doesn’t a󰀨ect the system under test
The Non-Contact CAN Sensor uses proprietary technology to detect CAN communications signals from
outside cables’ insulation. As a result, there is no need to attach connectors or to connect or fabricate wire
harnesses (cable harnesses) in order to acquire signals.
Since the Non-Contact CAN Sensor is electrically isolated from the CAN bus whose signals are being
detected,useoftheproducthasnoe󰀨ectontheelectricalcharacteristicsofthesystemundertest.Products
canbetestedintheirnishedormass-producedstate.
Reliable detection
Detection defects have been minimized to avoid errors caused by the Non-contact CAN Sensor and detected
by devices such analyzers, facilitating accurate* automobile development and evaluating testing. Additionally,
infrequent events can be reliably detected.
CAN and CAN FD support
The Non-Contact CAN Sensor supports high-speed CAN communications at speeds ranging from 125 kbit/s
to 1 Mbit/s. Additionally, the product can detect CAN FD communications at up to 3 Mbit/s.
Support for a variety of CAN input devices
The Non-Contact CAN Sensor uses standard D-sub 9-pin terminals for its output connectors. As a result, you
can connect analyzers, loggers, instruments, and other devices with a CAN interface.
*: The Non-Contact Sensor is capable of extremely stable CAN frame acquisition. However, the product
is not guaranteed to achieve an error rate of 0% under all conditions. Errors may be caused by factors
including the condition of the vehicle being tested and the quality of the power supply being used. Please
verify that the product functions properly with the vehicle to be tested prior to use.
