CANBUS CB6M200 Multi Output Interface

CB6M200 Multi-Signal CAN-Bus Interface for Toyota, Ford, Holden, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Nissan & VW

Description
The CB6M200 is a multi-output CAN-Bus interface designed to extract up to six discrete signal outputs directly from a vehicle's digital network. Engineered for commercial fleet management, telematics tracking, in-vehicle monitoring systems (IVMS), and mining safety compliance, this unit automatically detects vehicle protocols upon power-up without requiring manual configuration or programming. It provides dedicated 12 V and switched outputs for 4WD engagement, engine speed (RPM), illumination, brake pedal, driver seatbelt compliance, and handbrake status.

Signal Outputs (Not all signals may be available on all vehicles):

• Illumination / Low Beam: 12 V On / 0 V Off
• Brake Pedal: 12 V On / 0 V Off
• Driver Seatbelt: 12 V On / 0 V Off
• Engine Speed / RPM: 2 pulses per revolution
• 4WD Status: 12 V On / 0 V Off
• Handbrake: 0 V On / 12 V Off

Technical Specifications:

• Model / Part Number: CB6M200
• Dimensions: 53 x 30 x 10 mm (approx.)
• Operating Voltage: 12 V DC
• Current Consumption: 30 mA (approx.)
• Diagnostic Status: Dual LED status indicators (Red / Green)
• Vehicle Protocol Detection: Automatic auto-detect logic

Vehicle Coverage & Connection Locations (Note that model years are specific to that generation model only):

• Ford Ranger (2012+, 2016+ MK2 & 2020+)
• Holden Colorado (2013+)
• Isuzu D-Max (2017+ & 2021+)
• Mitsubishi L200 / Triton
• Nissan X-Trail (2012+)
• Toyota Prado & RAV4
• VW Amarok

Suggested Uses & Applications:

• Mining & Fleet Safety Monitoring (IVMS): Extracting seatbelt compliance, handbrake engagement, and vehicle operation data for safety logging hardware.
• Telematics & GPS Tracking Systems: Integration with commercial telematics modules requiring discrete engine speed (RPM), braking, and 4WD activity signals.
• Auxiliary Lighting & Safety Beacons: Triggering auxiliary work lights, safety strobes, or interlock relays based on 4WD or handbrake status.

Important Installation & Safety Warnings:

• Wiring Installation Best Practices: Connect CAN High and CAN Low lines using insulated solder joints. Do not cut factory CAN-Bus wires. Do not extend CAN High/Low leads beyond factory lengths.
• Fused Power Connection: Power the module from a clean, ignition-controlled regulated +12 V supply backed by an inline 1 A fuse. Ensure a solid chassis earth point is established. Power and earth point must provide clean, noise-free power.
• Signal Interference Prevention: Route output signal wiring away from high-noise vehicle electrical sources such as ignition coils, high-power cables, or heater blower motors.
• Diagnostic Tool Precaution: Disconnect the interface prior to carrying out OBDII vehicle diagnostic scans to prevent diagnostic tool communication conflicts.
• Compatibility Disclaimer: Vehicle wiring locations and wire colours are provided for guidance only. Australian delivery vehicles may vary by trim and model year. Always verify wire functions with a multimeter prior to making connections.
