Fig.1 Rear panel of Simulator

Please connect OBD2 tester to 9 pins's db9 interface, or connect OBD2/J1708/J1587 tester to
15 pins' DB15 interface, or use DB9-J1962 cable (Part number: DFL-J1962 ) plug in to DB9, and
then plug the OBD2 tester into J1962 connector. See Fig 2. If you want to use ISO15765
protocol, please press the rear switch to select correct CAN BUS baud rate.

Fig.2 Rear panel with J1962 Female connector plug in

If you order our Deutsch connector cable (Part Number:DFLDC15CV1 ), you can plug
th cable to DB15 and then plug the OBD2 tester into Deutsch socket. Please see figure below:

 OBDII J1708/J1587 Simulator 3

Of cause, you can connect our J1939 Simulator to this cable too. But If you use J1939 Protocols,
you cannot select "ISO15765" protocol from this OBD2/J1708/J1939 Simulator. In the same way,
if you select "ISO15765" protocol from this OBD2/J1708/J1939 Simulator, you must unplug
"J1939 Simulator" because both "J1939" and "ISO15765" use low layer's "CAN BUS "protocol , it
could cause "data collision". Please see figure below:

Step2: See Fig. 3. Connect DB9 of front panel to PC's COM port using DB9 straight through female to
female serial cable . Open the hyper-terminal in PC, and set up the COM port as 57600 baud rate,
8 bits of data , 1 stop bit, no parity bit, no flow control.

Step3: Plug in 12VDC/1.0A power in to Jack of rear panel. The power supply must be 12VDC /1.0A
(0.5A is OK , but the output current of OBD2 DB9 or DB15 will be less than 0.3A). The power
jack is 2.5mm I.D. and 5.5mm O.D. The power adaptor needs be purchased by customer itself.
The power adaptor Mfg number is EPSA120100U-P6P-EJ, Digikey number is T1063-P6P-ND.
Customers can choose other power adaptor too, but it needs to be regulated.
Step 4: You will see one LED light on in the "Protocol Display LED"area of front panel to indicate
which protocol it is. At the same time, you will see the information below in the hyper-terminal:

Fig. 4 Hyper-terminal Display

You can choose the different protocol by pressing and releasing "Protocol select button", the
related LED light on in the "Protocol Display LED"area of front panel. And after 2.1 seconds, the
simulator will really start to use the protocol you choose. If you press and hold the "Protocol select
button" more than 2 seconds, protocol will be changed continuously at the rate of 4 times every
second and the corresponding protocol LED lights on. When you see the protocol LED you expect
light on, you release the "Protocol select button", and you will get the protocol you want, and after
2.1 seconds, the simulator will really start to use the protocol you choose.
The simulator has the function of remembering the protocol you use. The simulator will use the
previous protocol when power on.

Step5: You can adjust the 3 knobs in the front panel to change the Vehicle speed, engine speed and coolant
temperature. You will see the corresponding protocol LED blink if your tester communication with
the simulator successfully within every 5 seconds. Fig.5 is the example of KWP2000 fast.

Notes:1 The current of tester connected to DB9 or DB15 or J1962 cannot be over the allowable maximum
current. Otherwise, the fuse inside the simulator maybe blows. And it will make the simulator
malfunction. For 12VDC/1.0A power supply, the maximum current will be 0.8Amp.

request, 0x7E0 for physical address request to ECU1, 0x7E1 for physical address request to ECU2, and
0x7E2 for physical address request to ECU3. At the same time, the CAN BUS ID of ECU1 is ox7E8 for
response to tester, the CAN BUS ID of ECU2 is ox7E9 for response to tester, and the CAN BUS ID of
ECU3 is ox7EA for response to tester.
