Mounting recommendations
•
Connecting wires
▬
Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-moving
parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects should be kept
away from the wires.
▬
There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was
removed while connecting the wires, the isolation material
should be applied.
▬
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 and the wires should not
be loose.
▬
Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control
units.
•
Connecting power source
▬
Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power
might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the
car model, 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.
•
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.
PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be
carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board vehicle
network. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the
mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic
potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable, which can
lead to unstable TFT100 operation and even its failure.
