Introduction
Intended use
OABR2CAN is an automotive media gateway between one OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach®
(OABR) interface and two high-speed CAN interfaces. A configurable routing table stores the
information of how the data is transferred between the interfaces.
You may only operate the gateway within the scope of the technical specifications provided
in this user manual. Additionally, the use in hazardous areas is not allowed.
The gateway meets the requirements of the EMC Directive of the European Union if the con-
necting cable supplied is used. The interface connection lines may be extended up to a maxi-
mum of 30 m, the voltage supply line, with sufficient cross section, up to 3 m.
You can find the declaration of conformity at the end of this user manual. Exact names of the
compliant product variants are available on request.

Installation
Mounting
CAUTION
Device damage due to overheating
Overheating may result in malfunction or destruction of the gateway.
Do not operate the gateway outside the specified temperature range.
Do not operate the gateway in the vicinity of heat sources.
Ensure adequate air circulation.
Do not cover the gateway with other objects.
Mount the gateway in such a way that it does not pose a hazard at any time.
Connecting
DANGER
Electric shock due to improper connection
Introducing the 4-mm plugs of the supplied connection cable into low-volt-
age sockets can be fatal.
Never introduce the 4-mm plug into low-voltage sockets.
CAUTION
Device damage due to wrong power supply
A wrong power supply can result in damage or destruction of the gateway.
Only connect the gateway to power supplies that correspond to the
technical specifications.
Pay attention to the correct polarity when connecting.
Disconnect service interface during standard operating mode
Make sure that the service interface (C) is disconnected in standard operat-
ing mode. Pull the plug if necessary and connect it again before changing
the configuration or updating the firmware.

The following instructions refer to the connection cable provided by X2E. If you use other ca-
bles, connect accordingly.
Plug the connection cable into the socket (B).
Connect the cable labelled OABR to an OABR device.
Connect one or both cables labelled CAN1 and CAN2 to CAN busses.
Requirements for the DC power supply
The DC power supply must provide a continuous current of 120 mA. Use a
regulated power supply or the vehicle battery and pay attention to the re-
quired voltage and current levels.
Connect the black cable labelled KL31(GND) to 0 V or ground.
Connect the red cable labelled KL30(Ubatt) to a DC power supply in the specified
range.
Ensure that all connectors are firmly attached.
Turn on the power supply.
The gateway indicates its readiness by green illumination of the general status LED (D). As
soon as data is received at the OABR interface or the CAN interfaces, the data is converted
and sent according to the routing table configuration.
Energy management
The OABR2CAN Media Gateway features an intelligent energy manage-
ment that reduces the current consumption depending on the connected
CAN busses.
To activate the sleep/wake mode, DIP switch (G) No 3 needs to be ON
(= top position).
If there is no activity on the CAN busses within a configurable number of
seconds (see chapter Gateway-Settings), the gateway switches into sleep
mode. If there is activity again, it wakes up back to standard operating
mode.
