MCB-01 CAN BUS Module Installation Guide

Download
The module is intended for connection to a CAN-BUS data interface in motor vehicles with a 12V voltage and a negative ground connected to chassis. The module converts digital information to analogue form, thus providing interconnectivity to the inputs of Athos, Akcent and other car alarms. Installation: The module is intended for professional installation and therefore we recommend having it installed by a professional service. Improper installation may result in damage to your car. The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for damage caused by improper installation or misuse. The product is not intended for installation in an engine compartment. Disconnecting the battery before the installation is recommended. If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, nobody should be inside during manipulation of the battery (disconnecting, connecting). Keep in mind that some car equipment’s memory functions (e.g. a radio) can be erased when the battery is disconnected. Bond newly installed wires to the original bundles. For crimped connections use tools designed exclusively for this purpose. If possible, try to avoid drilling into metal parts of the vehicle during installation. Before you start drilling holes, make sure that you will not damage other parts of the vehicle. When the installation is finished, attach the module through the hole in its upper part using a wire tie Module programming: If you want the module to function properly, it is necessary to select the type of vehicle in which it is to be used. The programming is carried out by setting a corresponding programming number (see below) which you will find in the attached table using the PRG button and an LED on the bottom side of the module. Use an item which is thin and not too sharp (a pin, toothpick, etc) to press the PRG button. 1. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the LED lights up. Release the button within 2 seconds and the LED will fade. Thus you have started the CAN-BUS interface set-up process. 2. The LED starts flashing and thus indicates the first digit of the programming number. You can confirm it by pressing the button after the corresponding number of flashes. The LED subsequently starts indicating the second digit which you can confirm after the corresponding number of flashes again. Both digits can range from 1 to 9. When you confirm the second digit of the requested programming number, the data is stored in an EEPROM memory. This should be confirmed by three short flashes of the LED. Example of module programming for the Audi Q7: You can find out in the table that the Audi Q7 corresponds to programming number 15. 1. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds, until the LED lights up. Release the button within 2 seconds and the LED will fade. 2. The LED will start flashing and thus indicates the first digit of the programming number. After one flash briefly press the programming button. The LED will start flashing and indicating the second digit. Press the button again after the fifth flash. 3. The module saves the requested programming number into an EEPROM memory, which is confirmed by three flashes of the LED.
