Temperature Sensors and Compass (Optional)
Refer to Compass and Temperature Installation Manual
Tire Monitor System (Optional)
Refer to Tire Monitor System Installation and Troubleshooting manual
Wire Harness (Standard) - Computer
Refer to wiring detail in Appendix A (Dwg. C-02-99002). The wire harness is supplied with the TripTek computer.
If your coach has been pre-wired for the TripTek computer, locate the plug provided by the manufacturer to plug into the
TripTek harness. You may need to contact the manufacturer for the location of these plugs.
If your coach has not been pre wired, continue with the installation below.
Connect the Ground
Locate the BLACK wire in the wire harness and connect it to the same grounding point that is used for the rear vision
system (black wire on Panasonic system). THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Connect to Reverse
Install or verify a relay is in the Reverse line circuit – Ref. Dwg. C-02-99002
Locate the ORANGE wire in the wire harness and connect this wire to the reverse signal wire to the rear vision system,
monitor side of relay (purple/white wire on Panasonic system). Only connect this wire if you are planning on using the
optional tire pressure system.
Locate the GREEN wire in the wire harness and connect this wire to the reverse signal wire on the transmission side of the
relay.
Connect J1708 DataLink
Finding the link.
The J1708 Public Data Link may or may not have it’s own connecter under the dash. This is NOT the six or nine pin
round engine diagnostics connector. If this connector cannot be found, locate the six or nine pin round engine diagnostics
connector. Reach around behind it and locate the twisted pair of wires that go into it. Track those wires back into the
dash. Use Scotch-Loc splices or similar to splice the BLUE (+) and WHITE (-) twisted pair from the TripTek into it.
Make sure you have the polarity correct.
Connect to Generator Hour Meter Signal
Locate the YELLOW wire in the harness and connect it to the generator hour meter positive line.
Connect to Buzzer Relay (Only for optional tire pressure system)
Locate the BLUE wire in the harness and connect it to the in dash warning buzzer relay.
Connect to Chassis Power
Locate the WHITE/RED wire and run it to the chassis fuse panel. It may require additional wire. Find an open fusible
connection to the panel and connect this wire. This wire must have unswitched power. For Panasonic system connect wire
to yellow wire (Panasonic memory power).
Locate the WHITE wire in the harness and run it to a source that has switched power that is only on when the ignition is
on.
