Interfaces

The audio player stands out due the variety of its interfaces. They allow the selection and playback of audio files. The voltage supply range of 10 – 30 V ensures that the player can easily be integrated into a vehicle.

  • CAN interface for the connection with the vehicle‘s CAN bus: Selection of one of up to 255 audio files, control of playback and volume.
  • Serial interface (RS 232): Selection of one of up to 255 audio files, control of playback and volume.
  • Five digital inputs via which e.g. a PLC can select audio files on the stick.

Variants

The audio player is available in two variants with the following mounting options:

  • Order No.: HG G-31500ZA
    Mounting lugs for fastening with screws
  • Order No.: HG G-31500YA
