1.0 Description
The Emtron 8 Button CAN Keypad provides a programmable switching solution which is
available for all Emtron ECUs. The use of the CAN Keypad allows unique application specific
user controls to be included in the ECU control strategy. The buttons can be used for a
variety of inputs from simple switching to binary selectable runtimes. Three LED lights are
located above each button which are used to indicate the current state of the unit.

The keypad is supplied blank & the (supplied) stickers are applied to indicate to the driver
the purpose of the button once configured.

2.4 CAN Bus wiring:
The 8 Button CAN Keypad device does not include an on-board CAN terminating resistor,
allowing the device to be wired at any position on the Bus.
CAN termination must be done correctly by using a 120 ohm (0.25W) resistor at each end of the
Bus system.
CAN bus wiring precautions
 CAN Bus High and Low are differential signals, so twisted pair MUST be used. Failing to
do so will compromise the entire CAN Bus System.
 In some extreme environments, shielded twisted pair may be required to help with
reliability and data integrity
 The less connectors in any transmission system the better. Unnecessary connectors are
almost guaranteed to present an impedance discontinuity and hence may cause
reflections and data loss.
 CAN Bus termination must be done correctly using 120ohm 0.25W resistor at each END
of the bus system.
 Maximum Stub length to a device from the main Bus is recommended at 0.3m, in
accordance with High-Speed ISO 11898 Standard specifications. See Figure 1.6

Figure 1.5: CAN Bus wiring example ECU and CAN Key Pad at each end
Figure 1.6: CAN Bus wiring example – Stub length less than 0.3m

3.0 Configuration
The Keypad programming is accessed via:
Config > Communications > Emtron CAN Devices > Emtron Keypad
Figure 1.7 – File path to access the Keypad programming

Each switch button is individually defined, the Backlight & LED Brightness set.
The memory function for each button can also be enable is desired.
Figure 1.8 – Emtron Keypad programming page

3.1 Input Switches
Various driver demand switches can be assigned to the CAN keypad.

The switch can be assigned as a pre-defined input channel or used as a user controlled
runtime is a control strategy.

The use of the keypad is only limited by the imagination of the user.
