Electrical Installation
Find a good route for the cable to the front of
the vehicle or to the area where it will be
connected to the vehicles electrical system.
The principal idea for the routing of the cable
loom is as follows: cables should run under the
vehicle up to a place where it can enter the
vehicle. The ecu and connector should
preferable be placed in a protected and dry
location, this is usually near the car battery or
under the dashboard. The cable to the door
switch should run directly to the door pillar
where the door switch is mounted
Please refer to the electrical diagrams in the
rear of the manual appendix I.
There are two possible operations of the
step.
1 - Door switch: The step moves out
automatically
when
the
door
opens
2 - Driver operated switch on the dashboard
which the driver operates the step with. In
this case, it is still recommended that the
door switch is installed. Without the door
switch the driver could forget to close the
step when the door is closed, and drive away
with an open step.
Connect the green wire at the handbrake
switch or other signal indicating that the
vehicle is stationary. The handbrake switch
is
not
supplied
with
the
step.
For safety reasons we recommend this
signal is used.
If you decide not to use this
signal Acdeos cannot take
any responsibility for any
unsafe operation of the step.
