, CS124500B
, CS133800B
, CS1371KB
) to match your current range.
Programming & PC Interfaces
Cables/adapters for configuration and diagnostics with a laptop.
Part | SKU | Use | Compatibility |
---|---|---|---|
RS232 → USB Programming Adapter | — | Direct PC programming/config (JR2 RS232 port) | Orion JR2 |
CANdapter (USB-to-CAN Interface) | — | CAN diagnostics/logging, live telemetry | Orion JR2 (also Orion O2 family) |
Selection & installation tips
- Match to JR2: These harnesses are designed for Orion JR2 (48 V class, 1–16S).
- Programming: Use RS232→USB for configuration/firmware with the Orion utility.
- Diagnostics: Use CANdapter for live CAN telemetry, logging, and service tools.
- Routing & EMI: Keep tap leads away from HV busbars/traction cabling; avoid long parallel runs with high dI/dt conductors.
- Strain relief: Support harness weight near connectors; avoid tight radii and torsion at the shell.
- Thermistors: Bond probes to representative cells/modules; log temps over CAN (if equipped) during commissioning.
Helpful add-ons
- Cell Wiring Validator — Confirms tap order before first power-on.
- SOC Display w/ Data Logging — CAN logging (100 ms to 10 s) to removable media.
- Thermistor Expansion Module — Add more temperature channels over CAN.
FAQs
Are JR2 harnesses compatible with Standard/Orion 02 controllers?
No. CWHJRMC2, CWHJ2166, and CWHJ2CUR are for Orion JR2. Use controller-specific harnesses for Standard/Orion 02.
How do I verify the cell tap sequence?
Use a validator or meter the tap ladder end-to-end before connecting to JR2. Confirm ascending voltages per the wiring manual.
Which interface should I use for setup vs. diagnostics?
RS232→USB for programming/configuration; CANdapter for live CAN telemetry, logging, and diagnostics.
Can I extend these harnesses?
Keep extensions minimal; use shielded cable where appropriate. Excess length increases noise pickup and voltage drop.
