INSTALLING TITAN ON A VEHICLE
2 TYPES OF INSTALLATION
1.
BASIC INSTALLATION: requires installation of cables:
a.
RED: positive
b.
BLUE: ground
c.
YELLOW: key / dashboard
2.
ADVANCED INSTALLATION: installation of optional accessories or other available outputs and inputs
CONNECTING THE CABLES
▪
The cables must be connected while TITAN is not powered on
▪
The cables should be secured to other cables or parts not subject to movements. Try to avoid proximity to heat sources
and moving objects near the wires
▪
The connections must not be visible. If the factory insulation has been removed, restore the cable insulation
▪
Additional insulation must be applied if the cables are installed outdoors or in places where they can be damaged or
exposed to heat, moisture, dirt, etc.
▪
Cables cannot be connected to on-board computers or control units
POWER SUPPLY (red cable: positive)
▪
Make sure that after turning off the vehicle's on-board computer, there is still power available. Depending on the
vehicle, this can occur within a time of 5/30 minutes
▪
When TITAN is connected, be sure to measure the voltage to verify that it has not
decreased
▪
It is advisable to connect the main power cable in the fuse box
CONNECTING THE IGNITION CABLE (yellow cable: DIN1)
▪
Check to make sure it's an actual ignition cable: the power should not cut off while the vehicle engine is running; the
power should cut off when the vehicle and dashboard are turned off
▪
Check to make sure it isn't an ACC cable (when the key is in the first position, the majority of the vehicle's electronic
utilities should be available)
▪
Check that power is still available when other devices on the vehicle are turned off
▪
Check that the ignition is connected to the power relay output. As an alternative, any other relay that has output power is
fine (when the vehicle is turned on)
GROUND CONNECTION (blue wire: ground)
▪
The ground wire must be connected to the vehicle's chassis or metal parts that are fixed to the body
▪
If the ground wire is secured with a bolt, the loop must be connected to the wire
▪
For the best contact point, remove any paint stains from the spot at which the loop is connected
Caution: The mains connection must be at a very low impedance point in the vehicle's electrical system. On a car,
these points are the battery terminals. Therefore, it is advisable to connect the power supply for TITAN (GND and
POWER cable) directly to the battery terminals.
Another option is to connect the power supply inside the fuse box (if this is not possible, connect to the power supplied to the
point at which the on-board computer fuses are located).
Connecting the ground wire at an arbitrary point to the mass of the vehicle is unacceptable, because the potential static and
dynamic on the ground line will be unpredictable, and may cause unstable operation and damage TITAN.
