NOTE: When installing the pins into the connector, always read the numbers and letters on the connector
carefully and double check that all pins are installed in the correct place, as incorrect wiring can damage your
Dash7 !
Base connection of DASH7
Base connection is used when customer want only to visualise data from VEMS ECU without any additional analog
or digital inputs connected to the Dash7.
For base connection just follow these steps:
1.
Turn OFF power supply (turn off battery kill switch, main switch,etc...)
2.
connect 24pin connector to the main unit of Dash7,
3.
connect 6pin connector from main unit to the display unit.
4.
plug in Dash7 RS232 cable to the RS232 connector of your VEMS ECU (NOT THE CONNECTOR NAMED LCD!)
5.
connect BLACK WIRE from pin C8 of main connector to the vehicle GROUND or battery NEGATIVE terminal
6.
connect RED WIRE from pin B8 (through 3A fuse) to the main switch or ignition switch of +12V battery
voltage
If all connections are proper, turn on the power supply. The Dash7 opening ceremony should begin.
Opening ceremony means that the screen of Dash7 will show you Startup screen with “your logo“ (or short video),
then you will see a Connect screen for the moment and all LEDs gradually lights up in Red, Green and Blue color. At
the end of the opening ceremony, all the LEDs will go out and the first data page will be displayed with the data from
the ECU.
You can switch between data pages and control the Dash7 by using buttons connected to the CNTRL connector on
the back of the display unit.
