Appendix A: Installation and Application Notes
This system uses low-voltage circuitry and wireless communication.
To protect these components and to ensure the device operates as
expected, these application notes must be followed.
General Mounting Guidelines:
The RF receiver should be placed in an interior location that does not
shield RF signals. You may need to try multiple locations to optimize
reception. The antennae must be left fully extended and exposed.
Minimize shielding from metal enclosures.
Looping the antenna, wrapping the antenna around a metallic object,
or grouping the antenna wire in with another wire harness will have
severe and detrimental consequences on the functional operating
range of the remote key fobs.
The vehicle control module contains several internal mechanical
relays. These relays are susceptible to excessive G-force loads
(greater than 30 G), and can toggle unexpectedly if the module is
mounted in an unsuitable location. Poor mounting locations include on
or inside doors, on or near chassis suspension features, or on or near
a generator or other internal-combustion engine.
Mount
e-
PAD
grab handle to vehicle with #8 or M4 screws. Connect
12V to the rod illumination LED with the red wire to +12V and black
wire to ground. Keypad harness provides connection between CAN
keypad and the CAN bus.
Testing Inputs and Outputs:
Many of the inputs and outputs of the vehicle control module are low-
voltage or low-current signals. When testing these I/O signals, use a
high-impedance multi-meter, NOT a test light. Most test lights pull too
much current, and can cause permanent damage to the control
module that is not covered under Tri
Mark
’s warranty. I/O signals that
are sensitive to excessive current draw are marked with an asterisk on
the connector tables on Appendix Pages IV and V.
