5. FOX3-KMD APPLICATION INTERFACE
5.1. Power supply
The power supply for the FOX3-KMD devices has to be a single voltage source of V
+IN
= +10.8 V...+32.0 V DC. The
operating voltage (V
+IN
) has to be applied permanently to the FOX3-KMD devices and able to provide sufficient
current of up to 1.5 A (pulse).
The operating voltage (V
The operating voltage (V
+IN
and GND) is not protected against voltage spikes and reverse polarity, but NOT
protected against continuous overvoltage.
NOTE: Operating voltage range must never be exceeded; care must be taken in order to fulfill min/max
voltage requirements.

5.1.1. Automatic shutdown
Automatic shutdown takes effect if:
under voltage is detected and internal battery level runs below the nominal voltage.
5.2. Determining the External Equipment Type
Before you connect the serial port pins of the FOX3-KMD devices to an external equipment, you need to
determine if the external hardware serial ports are configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) or DCE (Data
Communications Equipment).
FOX3-KMD is designed for use as DCE devices. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections, it
communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:
