EB+ Soft Docking Installation guide

Introduction
EB+ Soft Docking is a system for detecting the presence of a dock (‘ramp’ or ‘loading bay’) within 2.5 m, warning
the driver of the distance via flashing side marker lights and audio beeper at a rate dependent on distance and
automatically applying the brakes to halt the vehicle (or reduce the impact speed) at 1 m from the dock.
The system consists of an ECU and from 2 to 5 ultrasonic sensors, additional software for the EB+ ECU, side
marker lights, audio beeper and cables to link the components together. The EB+ Soft Docking ECU is controlled
from the Haldex CAN B+ / B- and communicates with the EBS via Haldex CAN.
Before using the EB+ Soft Docking system please read the description and the operation instructions carefully. The
system cannot replace the driver’s responsibility to ensure a clear passage when manoeuvring. Haldex cannot be
held responsible for any accidents encountered when using the system.

Extension cable location
The sensor extension cable is used to increase the length of the cable from the EB+ Soft Docking ECU to the
ultrasonic sensor.
The sensor extension cable can be used anywhere and in any combination within the sensor loom to ensure the
cable is long enough to reach the mounted sensor on the trailer.
Where indicated, if necessary use the appropriate length of sensor extension cable (364 622 xxx) to reach the

Installation of EB+ Soft Docking ECU
Preparation
Ensure that you have all the components necessary to
complete the installation.
Remove existing outline markers.
Determine a suitable mounting point for:
›EB+ Soft Docking ECU box
›Audio beeper
Minimum space required is approximately 200 mm
(width) x 300 mm (height).
All cables must be installed where suitably protected
by the trailer chassis. Fix all cables every 10-15 cm with
a cable tie. Do not fit the cables onto surfaces that can
become hot. Hydraulic fluid pipe lines are not allowed.
Unnecessary cables should be fixed coiled up. Ensure
that any junction box gland nuts are closed correctly.
During all the installation, protect connectors from dirt
and humidity.
Temperature range :
Don’t expose the product below -40 °C and above
80 °C. For example, do not place the product in a paint
oven (temperature > 80 °C). Fit the EB+ Soft Docking
after painting.
The position of the ECU box should be in a suitably
protected position in the rear part of the trailer. The
box should be fixed onto the chassis. Position in a rigid
location which is not susceptible to large vibration
and ensure cables run upwards to the ECU box and
are safely installed. Respect the "Top" indicated on
the box. The cables must be plugged without any
constraints (which could cause a loss of tightness or
product deterioration). Any product opening or any
product change cancels the product warranty.
Note: Ensure that the ECU connectors are plugged
into the correct colour coded cable connectors, and
the polarity of these connectors is also correct. Any
deviations from correct connection will void any
warranty claims.

Right marker light
Installation of LED outline marker light
The LED outline marker lights should be mounted to
the trialer so that the lights can be clearly seen from
the truck mirrors. The outline marker connectors should
be plugged into the EB+ Soft Docking cable (part
number 364 606 xxx).
It is essential that you only use LED outline markers, not
incandescent bulbs.
Note: The EB+ Soft Docking system will go in a failure
mode if incandescent bulbs are used.
The breakage of one or more optical part may cause a
short circuit which causes the temporary extinction of
both of the end outline marker lamps.
Any product opening or any product change cancels
the product warranty.
Do not leave any cable connection or any cable end in
an open situation. Each cable connection or cable end
must be tightly closed.
The EB+ Soft Docking is designed for two 1,5 W end
outline marker lamps.
If the EB+ Soft Docking is plugged into a 12 V supply,
choose two 12 V end outline marker lamps.
If the EB+ Soft Docking is plugged into a 24 V supply,
choose two 24 V end outline marker lamps.

Fit the audio beeper in a protected position which
is not susceptible to vibration. Normally on the rear
light panel or near the rear axle. Put the sound exit
downward with sufficient area around it not to block
the sound downward and backward. The use of a
sound screen near the sound exit is not allowed. When
assembling, pay attention to the location of the alarm,
the cable entry must be at the top and the drain hole
at the bottom (to let water flow).
The audio beeper connector should be plugged into
the EB+ Soft Docking cable part number 364 605 0xx.
In case of accidental liquid projection inside the beeper,
the beeper sound could be reduced momentarily. It
will return to normal after liquid removal, without any
beeper degradation.
Any product opening or any product change cancels
the product warranty.
Use M3.5 screw.
Screwing torque = 1.3 Nm max.
Fit the alarm on a flat surface.

EB+ CAN cable connection
The EB+ Soft Docking system only works with
EB+ Gen3 systems.
Plug the auxiliary CAN cable into one of the CAN
auxiliary ports on the EB+ Gen3 unit, ensure correct
polarity is maintained.
The EB+ Gen3 ECU needs to be updated to the latest
E-level of software if manufactured prior to January
2014.
Insert cable through spare entry of existing junction
box. Connect wires as appropriate. Ensure waterproof
installation.
Cable connections
Note: only four out of the eight cable cores are used.
Cut unused wires.
Close the junction box.
Ensure that the junction box gasket is seated correctly.

The sensors must be correctly fitted for the device to
work properly.
If the sensors point to the ground, irregularities and
bumps on the surface may be interpreted as obstacles.
If they point too far up, obstacles will not be detected
at all.
For the sensors to function optimally, the angle
between sensor surface and the road should be 90°
Minimum height
65 cm without use of settings. If a lower value is used,
the sensor angular settings must be adjusted.
Sensor offset
If there is a gap between the rear of the trailer and
the sensor mounting position, independent yellow and
green channel offset settings can be included in the
system using the DIAG+ software.
Maximum offset is 60 cm.

Sensor adjustment
If you cannot position the sensor assembly on the
outermost area of the rear panel, you can adjust the
angular detection of the sensors by using the sensor
notches.
To adjust sensor, press firmly on the centre of the
sensor and click onto the next notch, hence changing
the angle of the sensor
Available settings :
›Vertical : ± 12°
›Horizontal : ± 36°
The sensor angle can be adjusted by 6° increments by
pressing in directions as shown until the sensor clicks
into position.
