AEVIT 2.0 MOUNTING BRACKETS INSTALL MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION Mounting Brackets
EMC provides many dierent options for mounting the AEVIT 2.0 devices.
These devices include the AEVIT 2.0 Primary Input Devices, the AEVIT 2.0
Display, and secondary switch options. This manual will show the recom-
mended mounting options for all of these devices. Also provided in this
manual are a few variations of the recommended mounting options that
may better suit your client.
This installation manual is broken down into two (2) major sections. The
rst section focuses on the Primary Input Mounting Brackets. This section
will show how to install brackets for mounting Steering and Gas/Brake
input devices. The second section will focus on Secondary Input Mounting
Brackets. This section deals with the mounting of the AEVIT 2.0 Display and
secondary activation switches.
All EMC mounting options provide versatility with the use of ball-and-socket mounting brackets. Mounting Balls will
need to be attached to the input devices and the corresponding mounting brackets will have the mating sockets.
Therefore, the rst step in installing any of the input devices is to install the mounting ball to the bottom of them.
Each Input Device Install Kit should have a Mounting Ball and a Mounting Ball hardware kit that contains the follow-
ing:
(4) 10-32 x 1/2” Safety Torx Screws (1) Safety Torx Bit
(4) #10 Internal Tooth Lock Washers (1) Container of Blue Loctite®
Install the Mounting Ball onto the input device using (3) 10-32 x 1/2” safety torx screws, (3) internal tooth lock washers
and the Blue Loctite® as shown in Figure 1. In order to install the (3) safety torx screws you will need to use the sup-
plied safety torx bit. There are (7) pre-drilled holes on the mounting ball. Figure 2 shows which holes should be used
to mount the ball onto the input device.

ALL AEVIT 2.0 PRIMARY INPUT DEVICES AND THE AEVIT 2.0 DISPLAY ARE DESIGNED TO HAVE THE SAME
MOUNTING BALL SCREW PATTERN. THEREFORE, THIS INSTALLATION STEP SHOULD BE PERFORMED FOR
ALL INPUT DEVICES LEVER, WHEEL, JOYSTICK... AND THE AEVIT 2.0 DISPLAY.

2. PRIMARY INPUT Mounting Brackets
The primary input section will describe how to install the mount-
ing brackets for the Primary Inputs which include: Digital Lever,
Wheel, and single and dual axis Joysticks. As the name states, these
devices perform the tasks of operating the primary functions of the
vehicle: Steering and Gas/Braking. Generally, the Gas/Brake controls
are installed on the left hand side of the driver and utilize the door
mounting bracket system and the steering controls are installed
on the right hand side of the driver and utilize the oor mounting
bracket system. However, only the base plate of each mounting
system is dierent (See gure to the right for mounting system com-
ponents). Sections 2.2 and 2.3 will go into detail about installing the
bases of the Floor and Door mounting systems and section 2.4 will
discuss the generic adjustment section installation. Finally, section
2.5 will discuss other mounting options.
Before installing the Floor Mounting system, verify that the following components are included with the BRKT-AEVIT-
FLR mounting kit:
(1) Floor Base Plate (4) 3/8” x 2” Hex Head Bolts
(1) Input Device Articulating Swivel Brkt (8) 3/8” Flat Washers
(1) Input Device Mounting Ball (4) 3/8” Lock Nuts
(1) Mounting Ball Hardware Kit

Determine the location for the Floor Base Plate. This will change depending on the needs of the client. EMC recom-
mends that it be mounted between the two front seats with the webbing facing towards the passenger seat and the
AEVIT 2.0 Chassis be mounted partially on top of it as shown in the gures below (See your vehicle specic AEVIT 2.0
Installation Manual for information on mounting the AEVIT 2.0 Chassis). The Floor Base Plate and the AEVIT 2.0 Chassis
should also be mounted as far forward in the vehicle as possible. This will reduce the overall footprint of the system
and allow the client to move their wheelchair in and out of the driver’s area more eectively. It is also very important
to make sure that the Floor Base Plate does not extend to the left into the drivers area as this will interfere with the cli-
ent’s wheelchair movements.

Now that the bases are installed, the adjustment section can now be
mounted. Both the Floor Mounting System and the Door Mounting
System will come with the same adjustment section. Therefore, this
section pertains to both installs. The adjustment section comes pre-
assembled from EMC; however, Figures 8 & 9 show exactly how they are
assembled in case you need to disassemble or replace a component. The
main components of the Adjustment Section are the Input Device Ar-
ticulating Swivel Bracket and the Quick Adjust Upper Pole (Figure 8). The
main components of the Input Device Articulating Swivel Bracket are the
Input Device Swivel Bracket and the Extension Arm (Figure 9).

Device Swivel Bracket is used (Figure 22). If this is the case,
the installer will have to provide the following hardware:
(1) 3/8” x 2 1/2” Grade 8 Hex Head Bolt
(2) 3/8” Flat Washers
(1) 3/8” Lock Nuts
Some of the hardware from the Input Device Articulating
Swivel Bracket will be used as well. EMC recommends that
the installer review page 2-5 to familiarize themselves with
the components that make up the Input Device Articulating
Swivel Bracket assembly.

At this point, there will be a threaded rod protrud-
ing from the Quick Adjust Upper Pole. Insert the
3/8” Flat Washer and Adjustment Knob 1 onto the
Threaded rod (Figure 23a). This hardware will be
used to lock the Quick Adjust Upper Pole in place
much like step 2 Page 2-5. Tighten the adjustment
knob and make a mark on the threaded rod such
that it can be cut as to not protrude from the top
of the adjustment knob when the installation
is completed (Figure 23b). This can be done by
simply making a mark on the rod at the top of
Adjustment Knob 1 and then removing the knob
and washer and cutting the threaded rod approxi-
mately 1/4”beneath the mark. (Figure 24a).

Once the Quick Adjust Upper Pole is in position, a
3/8” thru hole will need to be drilled into it. Notice
in Figure 25, there is a support webbing under-
neath the Quick Adjust Upper Pole. The 3/8” thru
hole can be drilled anywhere along either of the
two (2) dotted lines shown in Figure 26. Basically,
the 3/8” hole will need to be drilled 7/8” from ei-

the nylon and at washers of the Input Device
Swivel Bracket will not interfere with the support
webbing underneath.

3. SECONDARY INPUT Mounting Brackets
The secondary input section will describe how to install the mount-
ing brackets for the AEVIT 2.0 Display and switches to operate the
secondary functions of the vehicle. Generally, the AEVIT 2.0 Display
is mounted to the same Quick Adjust Upper Pole as the AEVIT 2.0
Wheel as shown in Figure 31; however, with the hardware provided,
it can be installed just about anywhere. Section 3.3 will discuss
mounting the switches that control the secondary functions of the
vehicle. These include: Digitone 2.0, VIC 2.0, plus others.
Before installing the Display Mounting system, verify that the following components are included with the BRKT-
AEVIT-DISP mounting kit:
(1) Display Vertical Support
(2) Input Device Mounting Balls
(1) Mounting Ball Hardware Kit

The most commonly used switch to operate secondary functions
is the 1.5” Push-Button switch (Figure 33). This switch can be used
to operate the 2.0 Digitone, VIC 2.0 and other single secondary
functions. The same bracket system used to mount the AEVIT 2.0

Finally, this assembly can be mounted anywhere
convenient for the client to access. A common
place to locate this switch is on the “B” Pillar as
shown in Figure 37. In this position, a client could
easily use their elbow to activate the switch. How-
ever, any place where the Mounting Ball can be
securely attached can be used. EMC recommends
that a bracket be fabricated and mounted to a sup-
port pillar of the vehicle and the Mounting Ball be
attached to it (hardware not included). Figure 38
shows an example of this.

The AEVIT 2.0 Mounting Systems does not have any mandatory service requirements. However, the client should
periodically check to make sure that all adjustment knobs are tightened completely. Please contact EMC Service if you
have any questions regarding the AEVIT 2.0 Mounting Systems.

EACH MOUNTING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO BREAKAWAY UNDER LOADS THAT EXCEED THE NORMAL FORCES EX
ERTED ON THE INPUT DEVICE. SINCE NO AEVIT 2.0 INPUT DEVICE REQUIRES A FORCE OF MORE THAN 4 POUNDS, IF THE
BRACKETS ARE INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND TIGHTENED PROPERLY, THESE BRACKETS WILL REMAIN STATIONARY UNDER
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER, IF AN EXCESSIVE FORCE IS APPLIED TO THESE BRACKETS I.E. ACCIDENTAL IMPACTS WITH WHEEL CHAIRS,
ETC..., THESE BRACKETS ARE DESIGNED TO BREAK AWAY. IF THERE ARE ANY FORCED MOVEMENTS OF THE MOUNTING
BRACKETS SUCH AS THIS, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT ALL ADJUSTMENTS BE RETIGHTENED, IF POSSIBLE.
THE REASON FOR THIS IS WHEN THE BRACKETS “BREAK AWAY” AND ARE FORCED BACK INTO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION,
MOST ADJUSTMENT KNOBS BECOME LOOSENED IF BLUE LOCTITE® IS NOT APPLIED AND THEREFORE WOULD NEED TO
BE RETIGHTENED.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN THE CLIENT OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH LOOSE MOUNTING
BRACKETS WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
5. BEFORE OPERATING... Mounting Brackets
It is extremely important for your client to be fully informed about the capabilities (and limits) of these mounting
bracket systems. These mounting bracket systems were designed to provide nearly unlimited options for mounting
of the input devices. By adjusting both Adjustment Knobs, it is possible for the client to have their input device in any
position where they can operate it both eectively and comfortably. Refer to section 2.4 if you client wishes to have
the mounting system adjusted and refer to section 2.5 for other mounting options that your client may wish to utilize.
Once the client is tted for the input devices and they are satised with the input device’s position, time should be
taken to go over the following NOTES, CAUTIONS and WARNINGS with them.

EMC RECOMMENDS THAT ONCE THE CLIENT IS SATISFIED WITH THE LOCATION AND POSITION OF THE INPUT DEVICES,
ALL ADJUSTMENT KNOBS SHOULD BE REMOVED AND BLUE LOCTITE® SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE THREADS. AFTER THE
LOCTITE® IS APPLIED, THE KNOBS SHOULD BE REINSTALLED AND TIGHTENED COMPLETELY. THIS WILL PREVENT THEM
FROM LOOSENING UNDER NORMAL OPERATION AND ACCIDENTAL IMPACTS SEE WARNING #3.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE CLIENT KNOW THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY THAT ALL INPUT DEVIC

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS SO THEY CAN CHECK FOR LOOSE BRACKETS EACH TIME THEY ENTER THE VEHICLE.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN THE CLIENT OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH LOOSE MOUNTING
BRACKETS WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
