KEEP EXISTING OR MULTIPLE KILL SWITCH
Install the MOB+ inline with your existing kill switch or inline with
multiple kill switches by connecting it in parallel (e.g. multiple helm
positions with separate kill switches). The below picture shows an
example with Close to Stop connection as on Mercury engines.
To xHUB
To engine harness
CONNECTING KILL SWITCH SIGNAL WIRES
MOB+ xHUB has three kill switch signal wires.
Only two of the three
wires should be used.
Connect the two signal wires to the existing kill
switch wires in your boat. Most outboard engines have
Close to Stop
(CS)
kill switch system and use
Gray and Orange
wire for connection.
See wiring diagram below.
Before connecting the xHUB Signal Wires, you must verify which
kill switch principle is used by your engine manufacturer. See
section ”CLOSE TO STOP / OPEN TO STOP” below in this
manual if applicable.
After installation, verify functionality as
in step 3 ”Verify Installation” above.
!
Make sure that all wire
connections are waterproof by
using marine grade butt splices or
similar when connecting wires.

In the unlikely event that the
MOB+ System stops functioning.
Unplug the xHUB and plug the
emergency cap into the cable to
be able to drive your boat. The
emergency cap is located on the
cable supplied with the MOB+ xHUB.

FROM xHUB
Wire the xHUB to a circuit with a power switch to avoid battery drainage. The
xHUB has a power draw of 30mA in idle mode while connected to a power
source.
RECOMMENDED
Poor power connection may
cause voltage drop below 7V
e.g. when engine is cranked.
This may cause xHUB to reset
and inhibit engine start.
IMPORTANT
MOBP17018
Min. Voltage: 7V
- Below this voltage the unit will turn off
and you will not be able to start your engine.
Max. Voltage: 32V
Do not exceed this voltage because this can
damage the MOB+ xHUB and void the warranty.

Testing your kill switch principle
Test the kill switch principle by connecting a multimeter to both
cables from the existing mechanical kill switch. Set multimeter to
measure resistance and the kill switch is in the position which the
engine will not run (cord is not inserted in the mechanical kill switch).
