alternator, engine, etc. The input IN 1 must be active when the engine is running.
Using the input IN 1 for changing the logbook mode
Your LINK 530 can report logbook-relevant information to WEBFLEET. Using the input IN 1 you
can change the logbook mode between private and business trips. This requires configuration in
TomTom WEBFLEET.
The input IN 1 must be connected to a switch indicating the trip mode. If the input IN 1 is active
the logbook mode is set to Private trip. If no or a low voltage applies to the input IN 1 the logbook
mode is set to Business trip.

Wiring digital inputs
The digital inputs of the LINK 530 operate according to the principle of a voltage detector. Voltag-
es below 2 Volts are definitively interpreted as being low and voltages higher than 3 Volts are
definitively interpreted as being high. The maximum permissible input voltage is 30 Volts.
Low/high switching (increasing input voltage) typically occurs at 2.8 Volts. High/low switching
(decreasing input voltage) typically occurs at 2.1 Volts. The hysteresis of 0.7 Volts is to avoid rapid
switching.
Interference voltages at the digital inputs must remain below 2 Volts. In order to guarantee this,
the input wire of the connecting cable should never remain unconnected. If a digital input is not
being used, the input wire must be connected to ground (GND). To evaluate a switch, this switch
needs to be designed as a change-over switch, switching the digital input between plus and minus
(ground GND) of the vehicle electrical system voltage (+9 ... 30V).
If no change-over switch is available, an electric load for example, indicator light or resistor,
between the digital input and ground (GND) or between the digital input and the vehicle voltage
(+9 ... 30V) can offer defined levels.
When using inductive loads, a free-wheeling diode must be used in parallel with the load.
33
Wiring the digital output
The digital output OUT of the LINK 530 is an open drain output linking to ground. The connected
load must be connected between vehicle voltage and OUT. Loads requiring more than 0.35 A
must be controlled with relays. If the load requires more than the maximum output voltage use a
12 V/24 V relay, depending on the operating voltage.
Caution: Do not switch safety relevant vehicle functions.

The SAR limit set by Fthe CC/ IC is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg
averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The SAR
limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 grams of
tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists,
ankles and feet). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC/IC/EU council with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed
in positions and locations as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for
each model.
