Installing/Replacing the SD Card
Replacing an SD card will mean video on the outgoing card will
not be retrievable. Do NOT replace an SD Card without
ensuring the customer has considered retrieval processes.
1Remove the SD card from the pack.
2Remove the I/O port guard from the unit. Using the
supplied hex key, unscrew the I/O port guard screw. The
screw does not come out completely. Remove the guard
by hinging it toward the ‘EROAD’ side of the unit.
3Remove the power cable (if the unit is already mounted).
4Insert the SD card into the ‘SD’ port. The gold contacts face
the EROAD side of the unit. Push it in until the card sticks
in place, flush with the port surface.
5Re-seat the power cable (if the unit is already mounted).
6Re-seat the I/O port guard and screw it in place.

The Clarity cameras each have a RESTRICTED RANGE OF ROTATION.
Do NOT attempt to rotate them with the locking bolts tightened, or
pasttheir tolerance limits (approximately 90° rotation for each
camera).

Placement
Position the dashcam inside, in the approximate middle-top of
the windshield, or if this location is already occupied, slightly
passenger-side.
The front camera should be approximately 8 inches (20 cm)
below the windshield wipers' highest sweep-point.
The unit should be mounted outside the driver’s normal sight
lines of the road ahead, highway signs, signals and all mirrors.
Mounting the Dashcam
1Clean the mounting area with the alcohol wipe provided.
2Re-wipe the area with a clean cloth to remove any residue.
3Remove the adhesive paper from the mounting plate.
4Alignment check:
5Ensure the pad orientation will hold the dashcam with the
cable facing UP.
6The road-facing camera must not be blocked by existing
ADAS units, toll tags, tints or sunshades, vehicle
certifications, other decals or objects.
7The cab-facing camera should not be blocked by mirrors,
internal shades or hanging items.
8The mounting plate is level with the horizon.
9Press the MIDDLE of the mounting plate firmly into the
windshield, working outwards, so the entire adhesive pad
touches the windshield (you can better check this
A-Pillar cover
20 cm/ 8 in [

occasionally from outside the vehicle). Push firmly for 20s.
Wait another 2 minutes for full adhesion.
10 Attach the dashcam body into the mounting plate. Leave
the protective film on the lenses until the Install Wizard
phase.
Fig.1: CORRECT Full contact with the mounting plate to the
windshield. THEN, the main body is mounted.
Fig. 2: INCORRECT Dashcam should be mounted AFTER the
mounting plate has fully stuck to the windshield.
11 Plug the main cable into the dashcam. The cable should
run:
▪Across the top of the windshield out of sight.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2

▪Down the windshield's A-pillar (out of sight, secured,
tucked into the lining trim), down the back of the
dashboard.
▪In the shortest, most convenient path to your key
connection points.
12 Find the vehicle’s junction and/or fuse box under the dash.
It’s good practice to take a picture of the vehicle’s current
configuration to use as a reference later.
13 If attaching the Remote Record button, be aware that this
can be fused on a separate circuit for vehicle power, or run
off an existing fused power circuit.
Fig. 3: A-pillar removal. A-Pillar linings use a snap-in clip,
and are removable by hand. Remove, run the cable down its
length, and replace.
Assuming a "one way fits all" approach to fleet installation is
dangerous. Differentcabs have different windshield angles, cab
configurations, wiper-blade positions and concerns around left/
right/ dual seating. It's important that you treat each cab with
individual attention to detail.

3-wire Install Using the HR003101A Loom
The following diagram shows a basic connection for the Clarity
Connected and Clarity Solo dashcams using the HR003101A 3-
wire loom along with a basic Ehubo wiring diagram. If you are
installing a Clarity Connected camera, your Ehubo is likely to
be fused and connected already.
▪RED wire fused to vehicle DC power.
▪YELLOW/RED wire fused to Ignition.
▪BLACK wire to Ground.
Note 1 Always seal wiring connections with heat shrink
and/or electrician's tape.
Do not cut cables - Coil and tie them out of the
way.
1Connect the 12-way connector from the Dashcam to the
12-way connector on the 12-way wiring loom. Secure with
electrical tape.
2Connect the BLACK wire on the 12-way wiring loom to an
appropriate grounding location.
3Connect the RED wire on the 12-way wiring loom to a
permanent power source.
Note 2 Ensure there is a constant 12‑24 V when the
key is inserted, with the engine running, and also
when the key is not inserted and the engine is off.
4Connect the RED/YELLOW-striped wire on the 12-way
wiring loom to an ignition/switched power source.
Note 3 Ensure the ignition/switched power source
supplies 12‑24 V when the key is in the ON position
and zero volts when the key is in the accessory
(ACC) and OFF positions.

Photo Verification
Part of any EROAD hardware installation is photographic
documentation of the install site. Any digital camera may be used
for 2 or 3 images per site, but images must:
▪Show the unit clearly, mounted in situ, oriented
appropriately, with its serial number whole and legible if
possible.
▪Show connections and cables secure and tidily managed.
▪Indicate the environment in which the unit is installed (its
position around the asset, under the dash, on the trailer,
wherever appropriate).
Photosare evidence of a compliantinstall. They protect EROAD’s
and the Installer’s liability, should a future 3rd party or incident
affect compliance integrity.

Safety & Best Practice
EROAD expects installers and contractors to understand and
follow all relevant health and safety regulatory requirements.
Before installing EROAD equipment in a vehicle you must be, in

Australia, an approved EROAD installer and, in New Zealand, an
accredited EROAD installer.
The installer must wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) for the install risk and customer requirements.
PPE may include safety glasses, safety shoes,work gloves, hard
hat, high visibility vest, sun cream, sun hat and coveralls. You must
understand and comply with the safety requirements of
customers or third parties.
Avoid fitting EROAD equipment in locations that could impede or
cause injury to people. This includes potential head strike zones on
the windshield or dashboard, airbag deployment locations,
seatbelts, and other safety-relevant units.
The vehicle must be parked and level, with the parking brake
engaged.
Before installation, check that other safety-relevant equipment is
working properly and report any issues to the customer.
Before installers are permitted to work under or around
suspended equipment –held aloft with slings, hoists, or jacks –
ensure the equipment is secured to prevent collapse or falls.
Avoid running cables close to heat sources, sharp edges, high
voltage lines, obstacles or safety-relevant units.
After installation, check that all other safety-relevant equipment
continues to work properly.
While EROAD hardware is comprehensively tested against
corrosion and ingress, they are not invulnerable to water, fire or
impact damage. Do not subject EROAD units to extreme heat,
high-pressure water force or other intense physical forces.
Protect this unit and other EROAD units from extreme
temperatures. Operating temperatures for the equipment related
to this guide are found in the Specifications section.
