Mounting recommendations

with a standard cable

•Connecting wires

▬Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged

in.

▬Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-

moving parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects

should be kept away from the wires.

▬There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was

removed while connecting the wires, the isolation material

should be applied.

▬If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they

can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc.,

additional isolation should be applied and the wires should

not be loose.

▬Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or

control units.

•Connecting power source

▬Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode,

power might be still available on the power wires.

Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30

minutes period.

▬When the module is connected, measure the voltage again

to make sure it did not decrease.

▬It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in

the fuse box.

▬3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.

•Connecting ignition wire

▬Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does

not disappear after starting the engine.

▬Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first

position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).

▬Check if power is still available when you turn off any of

vehicles devices.

▬Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As

alternative, any other relay, which has power output when

ignition is on, may be chosen.

•Connecting ground wire

▬Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal

parts that are fixed to the frame.

▬If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected

to the end of the wire.

▬For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is

going to be connected.
