Power Headrest Packing List
The EMC line of Power headrests gives individuals head support along with a variety of switching options when the
OEM headrest is removed. EMC oers three (3) types of headrests. The six-button power headrest allows the driver
to access up to six (6) dierent, low-eort switches positioned on the headrest. This is typically used in conjunction
with EMC’s two (2) button control modules to activate functions such as turn signals, horn, dimmer, wiper low, wiper
wash, cruise on, cruise set or any number of auxiliary operations. The single-button power headrest has one (1) switch
mounted to the side and is typically used to access either Digitone or Digivoice. The third power headrest option has
no switching capability, and is used simply to provide support and comfort to the driver.

Overview
Begin by tting the driver to the driving compartment which includes installing all tiedown restraint systems.
When complete, remove all plastic or metal mouldings around the upper door opening and rearward of the
“B” pillar on the side wall header panel. You may have to remove the shoulder strap retaining bolt in order to
remove the molding. Do Not mount the Power Headrest Base on top of mouldings for any reason!
Always remove the plastic header panel molding and mount the Power Base directly to the header sheet
metal. NEVER mount the Power Base to plastic moldings or use self-tapping screws.
When installing the Power Base Unit, position it such that it is behind the driver’s head and does not interfere
with the seat belt system. Remove the ABS plastic protective cover from the Power Base by removing the
#8-32 machine screw as depicted in the diagrams. Once the position is determined, temporarily screw the
unit to the header panel with two (2) self-tapping screws. Drill the remaining two (2) mounting hole positions
through the header panel using a 5/16” drill. Insert the expanding bolts provided. While holding the bolt with
a 5/8” box wrench, tighten the 5/16” bolt head while applying inward pressure against the wall header panel
until tight. Remove the temporary self-tapping screws and drill and replace with expanding bolts. All four (4)
expanding bolts need to be used when mounting the Power Base to the vehicle!! Replace the protective ABS
plastic cover over the Power Base unit and secure with the #8-32 machine screw.

Adjustment
Arm
The Power Base contains a 1-piece Adjustment Arm that receives the ball shaft of the molded headrest pad.
The length of the ball shaft is such that it allows for linear and rotational adjustment to t most drivers. Make
certain that all six (6) setscrews lock against the shaft to prevent unwanted movement.
This headrest rotates 90 degrees but requires no lubrication. When installing the pad on a Power Headrest-1 or
-6, make sure that the telco cable does not interfere with the rotational motion of the adjustment arm.
To install the headrest, slide the Headrest stainless steel Ball Shaft into the adjustment arm receiver of the
Power Base and tighten the six (6) setscrews to lock in position. Rotate the Headrest pad to the desired angle
and securely tighten the three (3) socket head attachment bolts to lock into position. Do not remove the
molded plastic shell on the back of the Headrest Pad! Once nal positioning is determined, go back and check
all setscrews and securement bolts for tightness. This unit will only perform well if installed properly. Make
sure there is no binding!

Installation
The actuator is a DPDT (polarity reversing) type and will require that it be connected to a DPDT circuit or to a
DPDT toggle switch which will reverse the polarity to the Power Base actuator. If a toggle switch is used, locate
it in a place that will not be accidentally activated while driving.
If you use this unit in conjunction with a Digipad II Gold Series or Econo Series, the Power Headrest can be
operated from one (1) of the auxiliary function. Refer to the auxiliary wiring section of your Digipad II console
installation manual for details.

The Power Headrest-1 comes with a six (6) conductor telco plug. The telco plug is used to access Digivoice or a
Stand-alone Digitone system.

Operation
Before you wire the headrest, rst follow the instructions included with the ELB Control Modules to install the
harnesses directly to the vehicle. Then, simply plug the telco cables from the Power Headrest into the appro-
priate ELB Control Module. The switches on the Power Headrest-6 are not labeled, therefore, you can connect
to any control module. This allows some exibility as to which switches will activate each function.
If the Power Headrest-6 is being installed in conjunction with the Digipad-II Econo Series console it can be used
to remotely operate the Wipers and Cruise functions without the need for a ELB Control Module. All you need
to do is connect the telco cable from the Power Headrest into the Econo Series WC port on the CPU. Now the
Function A & B buttons will operate all of the Wipers and Cruise functions.
The diagram shows which secondary con-
trol will be activated when the switch is
depressed with your head. A gentle touch is
all that is required to operate the low-eort,
momentary switches.
