- Connect the connector to the main unit
after thoroughly checking
that all wires are connected correctly and
correct fuse is installed on power supply!
-
DOUBLE CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTIONS!
Some inputs are not short-circuit or overvoltage protected. Some
inputs tolerate only 5 Volts! Higher voltage can (and will) destroy your Dash7 !
IMPROPER CONNECTION MAY DAMAGE OR COMPLETELY DESTROY YOUR V3MS Dash7 !!!
- AFTER DOUBLE CHECKING you can turn ON the ignition
(or other switch which turns ON the Dash7). VEMS ECU
should be powered up before of together with Dash7. Otherwise, the connection to the ECU may not be successful.
- Immediately after the power is turned ON, you will see a Startup page with LOGO and Initialization page with
flashing text “INITIALIZING”. When opening ceremony and initializing procedure of Dash7 ends correctly, data from
VEMS ECU will be displayed on your Dash7 screen.
- If everything is working correctly, you can now heat up the heatshrink on the Main unit connector, remove
protective film from the screen, set some parameters in MENU and enjoy your Dash7!
Maintenance
Dash7 does not need during its life any special maintenance. Just keep connectors clean and protected against
corrosion and keep wiring harnesses in good condition. Keep device away from high temperatures, high humidity or
excessive vibrations.
Clean Dash7 body and screen only with wet towel (soft cloth or paper towel) which can’t scratch the surface. NEVER
USE acids, solvents, thinners, gasoline, alcohol and other aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning the Dash7,
otherwise you can totally damage the screen or other part of Dash7.
For long life, if possible, set screen brightness and LEDs brightness to about 50-60% of their full capacity. At 50% this
parts should have a 20 000+ hours service life. Higher brightness shortens their service life rapidly.
