INSTALLATION
• Installers and contractors must follow all health and safety regulatory requirements to ensure a safe
and healthy work environment.
• Whenever the equipment is parked, the parking brake shall be set. Equipment parked on inclines
shall have the wheels chocked and the parking brake set.
• Equipment, or parts thereof, which are suspended or held aloft by use of slings, hoists, or jacks shall
be substantially blocked or cribbed to prevent falling or shifting before employees are permitted to
work under or between them.
• Installing and servicing electronic devices can be hazardous due to electrical components.
Make sure to create a safe working environment to avoid hazards and to ensure correct and safe
installation and operation.
• EROAD recommends the use of a qualified professional automotive technician to install the Ehubo2.
Make this Installation Guide available to the appropriate personnel. Store it for future reference.
• To avoid damage do not run cables close to heat sources, sharp edges or other obstacles
that might damage them.
• Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices.
• Do not damage existing wiring and components when drilling the dashboard.
• Avoid fitting the Ehubo2 in a location that could cause injury to a driver or passenger in a crash.
This includes potential head strike zones on the windshield or dashboard, or other locations where

Install the Ehubo2
NOTE
• The engine must be turned o prior to installing the Ehubo2.
• 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 Ehubo2 needs a permanent power source and a good view of the sky to operate
optimally. While the vehicle is o, the Ehubo2 will shut down to a low power mode and will
draw a very small current from the vehicle supply. Remove the Ehubo2 permanent power
fuse if the vehicle is in storage or parked up for more than a month to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.
WIRING
The Ehubo2 is fitted with a wiring loom which is
used to connect to the vehicle and for optional
digital inputs.

3. Connect the yellow wire to ignition that is switched on when the engine
is running and o when the engine is not running (true idle). Connection
to the alternator may be necessary.
4. Connect the blue wire to a Speed Signal (-ve) or Ground.
5. Connect the purple wire to a Speed signal (+ve).
6. If required, connect additional wires (orange, brown and gray) for
monitoring vehicle activity on three digital inputs.
Refer to “Wiring Diagram – Additional Inputs” and table above.
7. Trim and make safe all unused wires.
8. Pull the sticker and screen protection film o the Ehubo2 screen.
