4 Preparation for installing and connecting the instrument
4.1 Required knowledge and abilities
Installing and connecting the motoscope tiny requires no special knowledge or abilities. The device
can be installed on a wide range of different vehicles with different specifications and equipment.
For this reason it is not possible to cover all special cases within this description. In cases of doubt,
please consult the information supplied on our website. A second possibility is an installation in a
professional shop.
4.2 Required materials for installing and connecting the instrument
Since the motoscope tiny is suitable for a variety of vehicles, additional materials might be neces-
sary in order to mount the instrument to an individual vehicle. Such materials can include:
•
mounting bracket for the instrument and fitting screws for the bracket
•
mounting bracket for the speedometer sensor
•
cables or cable extensions for voltage-supply, ignition-signal and idle gear connection
•
assembly materials such as cable ties, plug connectors, shrink hose, soldering iron,
solder etc.
The use of the original vehicle wiring diagram is recommended.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a three wire speedometer sensor which provides a output
voltage higher than +5V, the use of the delivered motogadget speedometer sensor is necessary.
In case you do not use the motogadget mounting accessories, you have to make your own
mounting bracket. If the motogadget speedometer sensor will be applied, you have to make your
own sensor mounting bracket, or order the motogadget part (part number 3004099).
5 Quick start
This section provides a guide to quick installation and connection of the SureShift
a)
Make sure that you have all necessary materials and tools available before starting the
installation. Such materials are: an instrument mounting bracket, fitting screws, cables, cable
ties, plug connectors, shrink-hoses and soldering tin. Necessary tools are: screwdrivers,
wrenches, Allen key for M3 metric screws, side cutter, small pliers, soldering iron, a voltage
indicator and a crimping tool.
b)
Have the vehicles wiring scheme and motoscope tiny connection plan ready
c)
Install the instrument mounting braked and instrument. If necessary install the speedometer
sensor mounting bracket and speedometer sensor.
d)
Choose a suitable position for splicing all connections of instrument, menue push button,
speedometer sensor and indicator light connection cables. Consider to have additional space
for the connector assembly.
e)
Locate switched +12V on the wiring harness of the vehicle by using a circuit analyzer.
Switched plus” means current must not flow until electric power is switched “on”. Furthermore
laying a wire from +12V terminal of your battery directly to the place of connection. Make sure
these both connection wires are fused with a 5A fuse each nearest possible to the battery.
