8.2 Inspecting the vehicle charging system
1. Visually inspect the condition of all wires and belts that connect to the starter,
alternator, and battery.
2. Check if the battery warning light on the dashboard is on, or observe the
voltmeter in the dashboard for at least 14 volts (for the 12 volt device), or at
least 26 volts (for the 24 volt device).
8.3 Inspecting the vehicle starting system
If a vehicle starting problem is detected, attach a digital multimeter to the battery
terminals and observe the voltage as the vehicle engine cranks.
If the voltage is below 9 volts (for the 12 volt device), or below 19 volts (for the
24 volt device), or there is no cranking, it is the client’s responsibility to have the
vehicle repaired before continuing the installation.
9.0 Mounting the ECU
1. Locate an ECU mounting position that is convenient and accessible – preferably
under the dashboard. Ensure that there is sufficient space for the ECU cable
wires to be securely incorporated into the vehicle wire loom.
ATTENTION!
• The ECU and cabling must not obstruct the normal operation of the vehicle
• Do not install the ECU near the vehicle brake and accelerator pedals
2. Position the ECU so that it is elevated, with the cable connector opening facing
downwards. This is to protect the open side of the ECU from contaminants,
such as water leakage and dust.
3. Fasten the ECU to the mounting position with the supplied tie wraps.
NOTE: Always use existing hardware and holes to minimize vehicle modification.
4. Ensure that the connection is tight and secure.
10.0 Mounting the alarm horn
The alarm horn (79-000916) is installed under the hood and sounds when the client
has failed to respond to a retest request past the set limit.
ATTENTION! The alarm horn is intended for installation on vehicles with +12 volt
electrical systems only.
1. Locate an alarm horn mounting position under the hood. Ensure that there is
sufficient clearance, so that closing the hood does not damage the hood or the
alarm horn.
