Mounting recommendations
•
Connecting wires
▬
Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving
parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near
the wires.
▬
The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory
isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be
applied again.
▬
If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they
can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc.,
additional isolation should be applied.
▬
Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or
control units.
•
Connecting power source
▬
Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still
available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may
happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
▬
When the module is connected, measure the voltage again
to make sure it did not decrease.
▬
It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in
the fuse box.
▬
3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
•
Connecting ignition wire
▬
Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i.e. power does
not disappear after starting the engine.
▬
Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first
position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
▬
Check if power is still available when you turn off any of
vehicles devices.
▬
Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As
alternative, any other relay, which has power output when
ignition is on, may be chosen.
•
Connecting ground wire
▬
Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal
parts that are fixed to the frame.
▬
If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected
to the end of the wire.
▬
For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is
going to be connected.
