VBOX 4 ADAS

Audio sensor powered via VBOX 4 - Analogue Input Connector

After wiring the unterminated end of RLCAB007-2 to the Sub-D 15-way connector as illustrated below, you can connect the Sub-D 15-way connector to the ANALOGUE INPUTS port on the VBOX 4 unit and the Lemo connector to the TRIG OUT port on the Audio Sensor.

  1. Wire the green wire to the ground pin (15).
  2. Wire the red wire to the power pin (9).
  3. Wire the yellow wire to a negative pin in an available Isolated Channel pair.
  4. Wire the blue wire to a positive pin in an  available Isolated Channel pair. 

    In this example we are using channel 4 for the signal wires.

You can find the pin information for the analogue Input connector on VBOX 4 here.

 

Note: Take note of the channel you are connecting the signal wires to, as you will need to configure this channel in the Channel Setup menu in the VBOX Setup software when you connect the sensor to the VBOX.

VBOX 3i RTK / VBOX 3i ADAS

Audio sensor powered via VBOX 3i - Analogue Input Connector

After wiring the unterminated end of RLCAB007-2 to the Sub-D 25-way connector as illustrated below, you can connect the Sub-D 25-way connector to the A IN port on the VBOX 3i unit and the Lemo connector to the TRIG OUT port on the Audio Sensor.

You can connect the ADAS Audio Sensor to VBOX 3i units with the RLCAB005-C CAN cable.

VBOX 3i RTK: Connect one Lemo connector to the SER port (when using default CAN/SER settings) on the VBOX 3i unit and the other connector to the CAN/PWR port on the Audio Sensor.  

VBOX 3i ADAS: Connect one Lemo connector to the CAN port on the VBOX 3i ADAS unit and the other connector to the CAN/PWR port on the Audio Sensor.

Audio Sensor Connected to and Powered via a PC

You can connect the Audio Sensor to the PC to use the VBOX Audio Sensor Setup software to configure and preview the audio sensor. 

Connect the TV1AM20MB31 cable (USB cable) to the USB-C port on the back of the Audio Sensor and the USB-A port on the PC.

ADAS Audio Sensor with External Microphone

If you need to use the extrernal microphone with your Audio Sensor to capture sounds from hard-to-reach locations, you can easily connect the Lemo connector on the microphone to the EXT MIC port on the Audio Sensor. 

Note: Please make sure that the unit is power cycled after the external microphone is connected or disconnected.
