Install the Ehubo
NOTE
• The engine must be turned o prior to installing the Ehubo.
• Do not connect in any way to a CANBUS or other engine management system.
• Power supply must not be taken from any ABS/EBS braking system.
The Ehubo needs a permanent power source and a good view of the sky to operate
optimally. While the vehicle is o, the Ehubo will shut down to a low power mode and will
draw a very small current from the vehicle supply. Remove the Ehubo permanent power
fuse if the vehicle is in storage or parked up for more than a month to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.
INSTALLATION
The Ehubo is fitted with a 10 way cable which is
used to connect to the vehicle and for optional
digital inputs.
