it is important to be able to provide these numbers.
1.4 Care
During welding or other service on the machine, all cables to the VI device shall be
disconnected.
Serviced shall only be made by authorised personnel. If the unit is opened by unauthorised
personnel, the guarantee will cease to be valid.
Scratches, or in the worst case damages, to the display occur easily if it comes in contact
with a sharp edge or hard material. In order to increase the longevity of the screen, this is
naturally something which should be avoided.
The Flash memory used for storage is durable; however as with all flash memory types the
write cycles are limited. Avoid unnecessary writing to the flash memory.
If the unit becomes too hot it will operate at a limited speed and can also be damaged.
Therefore, do not cover the unit by covering it, for example hanging a jacket or other
clothes on it.
Consider traffic safety when CCpilot VI is installed and whenever it is used. maximatecc
does not recommend that CCpilot VI or its accessories be used actively by the driver when
a risk of injury to people, or damage to property, is present.
Be advised that the VI device draws power from the vehicle battery. This can result in the
inability of the vehicle to start if the on-board computer has been on for a period of time
without the vehicle engine running.

1.5 Environment and Environmental Tolerance
The VI device has been designed to cope with tough environmental demands. Strict tests have been
conducted on the unit in order to ensure that it fulfils the expectations of a rugged unit. Much work
has been performed to choose and design internal components so that they, under all
circumstances and in the best possible way, provide you with a dependable and user-friendly
working instrument. Within the chapter Specifications, a list of standards can be found according
to which VI device has been tested and approved.
The VI device is preferably placed in a way that prevents exposure to water contact. It is also
important that it is mounted securely on a stand or the like to inhibit the unit from moving and
thereby becoming damaged, damaging the vehicle and/or people during, for example, a traffic
accident.
1.6 Cleaning
To ensure proper and reliable functionality over time, the unit shall be wiped cleaned of dirt and
dust. Use a suitable light damp rag to clean the unit.
Never use alkaline, alcoholic or other chemicals for cleaning which can damage the unit.

Installation
Install the device in such a way that is considered safe and does not expose any unnecessary stress
to the unit. In this section, some recommendations are made regarding installation.
1.9 Connecting to power supply
This instruction address vehicle installations but the principle is the same also for other types of
installations. See also the description of the pin outs for the Power Supply Connector under the
section External interface description.
Carefully follow the connection instructions below. Make sure that all contacts are angled
correctly and that they do not have to be forced, but lock gently and pliant.
GND Pin J1-2 is connected to the vehicles ground.
Battery Pin J1-1, i.e. the display’s power supply (+12/+24 VDC), should be connected
directly to the vehicle’s battery through 10 A fuse (F1). Wire gauges shall be dimensioned
with respect to cable length, supply voltage etc. Minimum cable area is TBD.
The Switched Power Input Pin J1-3, i.e. the display’s on/off signal is connected via the
vehicles ignition switch (S1). The maximum allowed input current for the ignition switch
signal is 2 mA. The fuse F2 fuse rating and wire gauge shall be dimensioned for the total
switch current.

By connecting the power supply according to the illustration above, the device will automatically
start when the main switch or turnkey is turned on, and shut down when the switch or turnkey is
turned off.
i. Precautions
If applicable connect the power supply to the device before any main switch, as per the illustration
above. If this is not possible, ensure that the device is turned off using for example the on/off
button or turnkey functionality before turning off the main switch or in any other way making the
computer powerless.
Sudden power disruptions may cause the device to shut down, potentially causing lost or corrupt
data. If for example the power fluctuates when starting the vehicle engine, the device should be
started after the vehicle engine is running.
Ensure that any application data is saved before turning off the device.
During welding or other service on the machine, all cables to the VI device shall be disconnected.
1.10 Mounting
CCpilot VI is preferably mounted using a RAM-B-238U Mount which allows adjustment of the
display’s position and angle.
To fasten, use the appropriate M5 x 0.8 button head screw of type MRT (Torx). The length of the
screws should be 30mm when using the Spacer maximatecc P/N 123295. If the spacer is not used
the screw length should be 12mm. The recommended torque for the screws is 1.5-2.0 Nm. Using a
split ring or toothed lock washer is recommended.
An alternate mounting method would be in a panel using the 123233 Mounting kit.
Ensure that CCPilot VI is mounted to a smooth, flat surface. Fastening the unit to an uneven
surface may stress the enclosure, damage the outer flange or possibly even flex the circuit board
inside, leading to a premature failure.
Ensure the M5 mounting screws are clean and dry, and apply torque of 1.5-2.0 Nm. Use lock
washers.
1.11 Environmental considerations
The device shall be placed in a way that prevents the unit from direct exposure to water.
Use caps on any connectors that do not have attached cables.
On the back side of the unit there is a hydrophobic membrane, seen as a white disc. This
membrane must never be faced upwards when the unit is mounted. Be cautious not to
insert any object into this hole since it can puncture the hydrophobic membrane, leaving
the unit unprotected from moisture and dust intrusion. If the membrane is punctured the
guarantee is void.
To enable sufficient cooling, the VI device must be installed so that air is able to circulate
around the device, avoid installing the device near hot air vents or the like. There must be
at least 50 mm free distance around the unit.

Loose mounting bolts are the most common reason for excessive vibration. Mounting bolts
may become loose due to improper techniques such as missing lock washers, over
tightening or under tightening. Proper tightening requires clean dry bolts, and a torque
wrench.
When CCpilot VI or any device is installed in a vehicle environment it is important that the
installation is traffic-safe. maximatecc does not recommend that CCpilot VI or its
accessories are used actively by the driver or operator when a risk of injury to people, or
damage to property, is present.
1.12 Cables
Cables shall be installed in such a way that they don’t run any risk of being damaged, pinched or
worn.
Avoid bending and twisting cables
Strain-relief on cables near the connection to the respective unit
Properly snap the connectors to give good contact and avoid unnecessary strain
