4.1. Mounting
CCpilot V700 supports two different mounting methods, a RAM mount or a panel mount. These
two mounting methods are described separately below.
For both fastening methods, use the appropriate 3 pc. M5 x 0.8 button head screw of type MRT
(Torx) The recommended torque for the screws is 1.5-2.0 Nm. Using fluid locker or locking
washers (split ring, toothed lock, etc.) is required for proper mounting. Ensure that the M5
mounting screws are clean and dry before mounting.

CCpilot V700 Revision: 1.0
Technical Manual 2020-09-10
Note that the depth of the threaded holes is 8 mm. Be careful not to use too long screws which
may damage the device when tightened. It is also very important to use a fastening plate with
holes that are not larger in diameter than 6 mm to avoid pulling out the threaded inserts from
the unit.

CCpilot V700 Revision: 1.0
Technical Manual 2020-09-10
Ensure that CCpilot V700 is mounted to a smooth, flat surface. Fastening the unit to an uneven
surface may stress the enclosure, damage the outer flange or possibly even flex the circuit
board inside, leading to a premature failure.
• The wire gauge for the power supply is recommended to be at least 0.75 mm2 /AWG 18 for
“normal” loads.
• The fuse shall be located as close to the battery/power source as practically possible. A
recommendation is to place the fuse at a maximum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) from the
(+) terminal of the source.
• Fuse rating shall be dimensioned with respect to wire gauge, maximum current
consumption and the inrush current of the device. Refer to chapter 8.1 for fuse rating
details.
• As a guideline, a slow acting fuse with 2-3 A current rating should be used.
• Remember to also apply fusing for the on/off control wiring, see chapter 4.2.4.
• The wire gauge for the key switch signal shall be dimensioned to handle the total switch
current and the fuse type and rating shall be selected to prevent cable fire in case of
cabling short circuit.
• As a guideline, a slow acting fuse in the range of 100-5000 mA for the key switch signal
should be sufficient for most practically usable wire gauge.

Figure 7: Schematic example for power supply installation of a CCpilot V700 device in a
vehicle. The ignition switch (S2) can be shared by several devices (Device X, Y, …)
By connecting the power supply according to the example above, the CCpilot V700 device will
automatically start up when the key switch (S2) is closed and shut down when the switch is
opened.
Note that the on/off behaviour of the CCpilot V700 described here is the default configuration.
Its response to the on/off signal may be altered using the CCAux API, see chapter 5.1 for more
details.
Be advised that the device consumes a small amount of power from the main supply also when
shutdown (123 µA at 12V, 0.38mA at 24V) or suspended (37mA at 12V, 22mA at 24V).
Therefore, if the device has been attached for a long period of time without the vehicle motor
www.crosscontrol.com 10
CCpilot V700 Revision: 1.0
Technical Manual 2020-09-10
running, the battery may be drained, resulting in inability to start up the vehicle. A main switch
for disconnecting the device’s main supply is highly recommended in such situations.
• Use strain-relief on cables near the device to minimize stress on cables and connectors.
• Properly snap the connectors to give reliable contact and sealing and to avoid unnecessary
strain.
• Shielded cables are recommended and, in some cases, necessary to ensure reliable
communication and appliance with agricultural EMC standards.
• The device should be placed in a way that prevents direct and continuous exposure to
water or close proximity to hot-air vents.
• To enable sufficient cooling, the device must be installed in a way that allows ambient air to
circulate around it. A clearance of at least 50 mm around the device is recommended.
• To maintain IP classification, all M12 connectors must have a mating external connector
attached. Protective caps shall be used on all non-mated connectors. Please note that the
protective caps mounted on the M12 connectors are for transportation protection only.
• The device has a ventilation membrane, refer to Figure 3 for the location. For proper
ventilation of the device, dirt and water must be prevented from accumulating and covering
the membrane. Be cautious not to insert objects which may puncture the membrane. Doing
so will violate the IP-classification and void the warranty of the device.
• Install the device and any cables attached in a way that they are not subject to excess
vibrations or other potentially harmful stress.
• Loose fasteners are a common cause for excessive vibration. Fasteners may come loose
due to improper mounting techniques such as omitting thread lockers (fluid locker or
locking washers) or by over/under-tightening. Proper tightening requires dry, clean
fasteners and a torque wrench.

CCpilot V700 Revision: 1.0
Technical Manual 2020-09-10
• Disconnect all cables to the device during welding or when performing other service to the
machine imposing a risk of damaging electronic devices.
• Service and repair to the device shall only be made by authorized personnel. If the device
is opened by unauthorized personnel, its warranty will be void.
• Scratches or other damages may occur to the display surface if it is exposed to sharp
objects, abrasives or heavy impacts. This must be avoided to increase the longevity of the
screen.
• The internal eMMC flash storage has a limited number of write cycles. Therefore it is
recommended that the amount of writing to flash is limited within software applications. 1
• Always consider personal safety when installing and operating the product. For example,
in vehicle installations, CrossControl does not recommend that the product is being
actively operated by the driver when a risk of injury to people or damage to property is
present.
4.5.1. Cleaning
To ensure proper and reliable functionality over time, pay attention to the following cleaning
instructions and precautions:
• Wipe the device clean from dirt using a soft damp cloth, preferably of microfiber type.
Larger amount of dry dust may be swept off using a soft brush before wiping clean.
• Avoid using alkaline, alcoholic or other potentially adverse chemicals for cleaning as doing
so may damage the device. However, small amount isopropyl alcohol may be used for
removing harsh stains.
• Avoid spraying or by other means applying larger amount of water or alcohol directly to the
device. Instead, lightly dampen a cloth before using it for cleaning the device.
• After cleaning, make sure that the device surface is left dry.
• Never use high-pressure air, vacuum, water or steam to clean the device.
1 The eMMC is used in pseudo SLC mode and implements both static and dynamic wear levelling to reach the
best reliability. The number of program/erase cycles is between 20k to 60k depending on the manufacturer and
temperature. Our recommendation for the application software is to temporary cache in RAM and to write larger
chunks of data to the eMMC. This recommendation is not specific to eMMC but is applicable to all flash
memories.

5. Basic operation
This section covers basic operation of the product such as start-up, shut-down, suspend,
resume, display operation and status notification.
Observe that the behaviour of the external on/off control is user configurable in terms of:
• Enabling/disabling functionality
5.1. Turning ON
The CCpilot V700 product can be started in different ways:
1. Connecting the external on/off control signal to a positive supply input (at or above
approximately 6V).
o When started this way, the on/off signal must remain asserted. De-assertion of this
signal will shut down the device unless configured otherwise.
2. It is possible to configure the device to automatically start up whenever external power is
applied (i.e. without using any on/off control).
a. Note that this function is disabled as factory default.
For resuming the device from suspend mode, see chapter 5.2.
While starting up the device, it will give a short beep and the status LED will flash with 2 Hz.
When the device enters operational state the status LED will stop flashing and be turned on.
www.crosscontrol.com 14
CCpilot V700 Revision: 1.0
Technical Manual 2020-09-10
o If the on/off signal is brought back high again while the device is shutting down, it
won’t restart automatically. A low-to-high transition must occur after the device has
fully shut down to make a restart.
2. By operating system shutdown requests.
To ensure that data is not lost nor the flash memory corrupted, it is recommended that all
necessary data be saved and all programs closed before the device is shut down.
Note that the device won’t shut down from Suspend mode by these actions. See chapter 5.2.2
for details of Suspend mode and wakeup.
When performing any of the above, the CCpilot V700 device will shut down.
5.2.2. Suspending/resuming
Suspending and resuming are faster alternative to shutting down and starting up the device. In
suspend mode, the data remains in RAM memory and the device must be connected to
external power supply to maintain its state.
Suspend mode can be entered in two ways:
1. By disconnecting the external on/off control, i.e. using the turn key functionality.
o By factory default, disconnecting the external on/off control is configured to shut-
down the device.
2. By selecting the operating systems suspend alternative.
Observe that the product current consumption in suspend mode is higher than in shut-down
mode.
To prevent a vehicles or machines battery from draining when the device is suspended, a user
configurable time-out can be set for how long the unit shall stay in suspend mode before it
automatically shuts down. The default suspend time-out is set to 60 minutes.
Resuming from suspend mode can be done by the following event:
1. By a low-to-high transition of the external on/off control, i.e. using the turn-key functionality.
Configuration of suspend and resume is done through the CCSettingsConsole application or
using the CCAux API. See the software guide for details.

For proper operation it is important to keep the light sensor opening clean and with free
visibility.
Observe that the status notification behaviour in both the start-up and operating states is
configurable by user applications running on the device.

6. Interface overview
This section describes the various interfaces of the product. Main part of these interfaces can
be accessed via software APIs. These are described in the CCpilot V700 Software Guide.
6.2. Buzzer
The CCpilot V700 has a built-in buzzer that can be used for audible notifications. The buzzer is
software controllable with configurable volume and frequency.
For buzzer location see Figure 3. See chapter 5.5 for buzzer notification events. Refer to the
CCpilot V700 Software guide for details about controlling the buzzer from user applications.
6.3. CAN
The CCpilot V700 has two CAN ports that meets CAN ISO 11898 2.0B (29-bit extended
identifier) and supports bit rates up to 1 Mbps.
Note that Internal EMI filters on CAN High/Low signals have a capacitance of 100 pF (typ)
which deviates from the ISO 11898 standard and implies some limitations on the CAN bus
topology (maximum bus length, number of CAN nodes etc.) when running at high bit-rates, i.e.
above 250 kbps.
The ports feature highly protected CAN transceivers which are tolerant for bus short-circuits to
main supply voltage and ground.
CAN shield connections are according to J1939-11 with capacitive coupling to ground. There is
no device-internal CAN bus termination, therefore bus termination must be applied externally.
6.4. Ethernet
CCpilot V700 has one Ethernet interface supporting 10BASE-T/100-BASE-TX/FX and Auto-
MDIX.
The Ethernet interface is galvanic isolated with 1.0 kVAC insulation voltage.

CCpilot V700 Revision: 1.0
Technical Manual 2020-09-10
6.5. USB
The CCpilot V700 has one (1) USB port. This port supports an USB OTG interface, i.e. acting
as both host and device. Using the port in USB device mode is only for OS updates through a
connected PC with appropriate tool installed.
In USB host mode, it can be used for application data transfer or the connection of a peripheral
such as a mouse or keyboard.
Due to the M12 connector specification, USB data signal integrity cannot be guaranteed with
higher speeds than full-speed USB (12 Mbps). However, hi-speed operation is supported by
the USB host controller.
The USB port can supply up to 500 mA. The USB port is internally over current and short
circuit to ground protected. Shielded cable shall be used to ensure reliable communication and
electromagnetic compliance.
6.6. Bluetooth
The CCpilot V700 models with P/N C000152-01 have a Bluetooth module to facilitate wireless
communication to and from the device. The Linux based operating system in the CCpilot V700
includes a software Bluetooth stack for easy application development including Bluetooth
functionality.
