Install the Ehubo

NOTE

• The engine must be turned o prior to installing the Ehubo.

• 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 Ehubo needs a permanent power source and a good view of the sky to operate optimally. While the vehicle is o, the Ehubo will shut down to a low power mode and will draw a very small current from the vehicle supply. Remove the Ehubo permanent power fuse if the vehicle is in storage or parked up for more than a month to avoid discharging the vehicle battery.

INSTALLATION

The Ehubo is ﬁtted with a 10 way cable which is used to connect to the vehicle and for optional digital inputs.

WIRE FUNCTION FUSE NOTES

Red +12V / 24V DC Supply

Black Ground Do not fuse Connect to a permanent Ground.

Orange Digital Input 1

Fuse individually with 3A fuse

Optional digital inputs for integration purposes. Brown Digital Input 2

Gray Digital Input 3

NOTE: If the screen remains black and does not prompt you to carry out some

checks, the wiring of the Ehubo might not be quite right.

Please refer to the Wiring Diagrams in this Installation Guide or to the “Troubleshooting” section and adjust your wiring. If the screen still remains black please contact the EROAD Helpdesk.

Troubleshooting

This section will provide some solutions if the installation of your Ehubo is unsuccessful or the Ehubo doesn’t perform as expected.

SCENARIO DETAILS SOLUTION

The Ehubo screen remains black after installation even if I tap the screen

No connection to permanent power

Ensure that the vehicle is stationary.

Check that the fuses have been inserted properly.

Check that permanent power has been properly connected to the red wire.

Green power light on top is o when driving

No connection to permanent power

Check that the fuses have been inserted.

Check that permanent power has been properly connected to the red wire.

Check that switched power has been properly connected to the yellow wire.

I can’t successfully complete the install checks

Permanent and/or switched power connections potentially incorrect.

Permanent power connection point unable to supply enough current to the Ehubo.

Check that the fuses have been inserted properly.

Check your wiring against the wiring diagram and this manual.

Ensure that the permanent supply connection point is capable of supplying the Ehubo.

Ensure you have a good Ground and power connection.

Engine on/o icon shows incorrectly

Switched power incorrectly connected

Check that switched power has been connected to the yellow wire.

SCENARIO DETAILS SOLUTION

Icons indicate that the Server Connection and/ or Cellular Connection cannot be established.

The Ehubo needs to be in cellular coverage to connect successfully. It may take a minute or two to connect initially.

Ensure that your vehicle is in a location with adequate cellular coverage.

Icons indicate that GPS reception is poor or cannot be established.

A good view of the sky is required for optimal GPS operation. It may take a few minutes initially to get reception.

Reposition the Ehubo so it has a good view of the sky.

Move the vehicle outside, away from overhead obstructions.

The screen doesn’t turn on when I tap it

You can only turn on the screen when the vehicle is stationary.

Ensure that the vehicle is stationary.

Check that the Ehubo has been installed correctly.

Check that the fuses have been inserted properly.

Check that permanent power has been connected to the red wire.

One of the following icons shows:

Faulty ignition

Faulty connection

Faulty SIM

Faulty GPS
