Connection of the windshield 

If rain cover is installed: To connect the setup, open 
the top foam lid on one side by opening the Velcros. 
The metallic mounting cylinder with the eye bolts 
does 

not

 need to be uninstalled. Lift the black rubber. 

 

 

 

Now, connect the two Multipin connectors of the windshield to the two multicore breakout 
cables. 
Take care, there are two different breakout cables: 

-

 

One breakout cable has 4 XLR outlets 

-

 

The other breakout cable has 4 XLR outlets plus 
the connector for the heating. Connect this 
breakout cable to the cable outlet which is 
marked with “heating”. See picture on the right.  

-

 

For the correct channel allocation, remember 
which breakout cable was connected to the cable 
outlets marked with “Top” (ch 5-8) and 
“bottom” (ch 1-4). 

 

 

Protect the connected plugs by putting them into the 
sleeve (if existing).
