NOTES ON INSTALLATION
If any error messages or unexpected characters are displayed, refer to
the troubleshooting section at the end of this manual for detailed
explanations.
General Installation
The Quick 4 unit should be mounted within the passenger compartment of the
vehicle in a protected location. Good mounting areas include under the dash,
behind a kick panel, or under the seat, as long as the unit and wiring are not
subject to damage.
Under-hood mounting is NOT possible with the Quick 4
unit. It is not waterproof or rated for under-hood
temperatures.
Passenger compartment mounting is also necessary to provide easy access to
the USB port, which is used to interface with a PC for programming and
diagnostics, as well as the display and function control knob. For this reason, be
sure to mount the unit in a way that gives easy access to the USB port, knob,
and display. If you will be using a desktop PC for programming, install the unit
so that it can be unplugged and moved easily.
All electrical connections should be made using 60/40 rosin core solder. Cover
the connection with heat-shrinkable tubing for improved insulation and
mechanical strength. Individual connector terminals can be connected using a
“piggy-back” method, where the terminal is removed from the plastic connector
housing to allow the new wire to be soldered on to the terminal atop the original
wire. Two wires may be connected together by twisting them together
longitudinally, soldering, then covering with the appropriate size heat-shrink
tubing.
Before Driving the Vehicle
Start the engine and move the shifter through all positions, ensuring that the
gear position and all sensor readings shown on the controller are correct. Most
importantly, make sure that no error messages are shown on the Quick 4
display. It is a good idea to periodically check the Quick 4 display for errors as
you drive, so it is wise to consider an accessible mounting location. If possible,
perform a line pressure check to ensure that line pressure is correct at idle
(typically 60 - 80PSI), and that it smoothly increases toward maximum (typically
190-240PSI) as the throttle position increases. If you have any questions about
the installation or line pressure readings, please contact our technical support
department.
