5. Vodič za namestitev

This section outlines the steps for installing the hardwire kit. It is recommended to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for fuse box location and specific fuse types. If you are not comfortable with electrical installations, seek professional assistance.

5.1. Identify Fuse Box and Fuse Types

Locate your vehicle's fuse box. Determine the correct fuse type required for your vehicle (Micro Mini, Mini, Small, or Medium) to ensure proper connection with the included fuse taps.

5.2. Povezave ožičenja

The hardwire kit has three wires: Red (ACC), Yellow (BAT+), and Black (GND-). These must be connected correctly to your vehicle's fuse box and a ground point.

• Rdeča žica (ACC): Connect to an ACC (Accessory) fuse slot in your vehicle's fuse box. This slot provides power only when the ignition is on.
• Rumena žica (BAT+): Connect to a constant power fuse slot (BAT+) in your vehicle's fuse box. This slot provides continuous power, even when the ignition is off, for parking monitoring.
• Black Wire (GND-): Connect to a metal ground bolt or screw on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a secure connection for proper grounding.

5.3. Connecting to Dash Cam

Connect the Type-C end of the hardwire kit cable to your dash camera's Type-C power input port.

The Type-C connector offers several advantages:

• No need to confirm insertion direction.
• Stronger power supply capacity.
• Faster charging and data transfer.
• High heat resistance and durability.

5.4. Napeljava kablov

Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim using the provided pry tool to tuck it away, ensuring it does not interfere with driving or vehicle operations.

6. Delovanje

6.1. Adjustable Low Voltage Zaščita

Komplet Hardwire ima nastavljivo nizko glasnosttage protection to prevent your vehicle's battery from draining. You can set the cut-off voltage according to your preference and vehicle battery health.

• Ko je voltage drops below the set cut-off value, the hardwire kit will automatically cease power supply to the dash cam after approximately 1 minute.
• Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control unit to adjust the desired cut-off voltage. Trenutni zvezektage setting is displayed on the unit.

6.2. 24-urni nadzor parkiranja

By connecting the yellow wire (BAT+) to a constant power source, the hardwire kit enables your dash camera to operate and record continuously, even when the vehicle's engine is turned off. This provides 24-hour surveillance for parking monitoring.

6.3. Automatic Engine Status Detection

The hardwire kit automatically detects the engine's status (on/off) and switches between driving mode and parking monitoring mode without requiring manual settings on the dash camera, provided the dash camera supports this functionality.

7. Odpravljanje težav

If you encounter issues with your Ecomoment Hardwire Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Verify that the fuse taps are correctly installed in the fuse box and that the fuses are not blown.
  • Ensure the vehicle battery voltage is above the set low voltagprag meje.
  • Confirm the dash cam itself is functional by testing it with a standard car charger.
• Nadzor parkiranja ne deluje:
  • Ensure the Yellow (BAT+) wire is connected to a constant power fuse slot.
  • Check if your dash camera supports parking monitoring mode and if it's enabled in the camera's settings.
  • Verify the vehicle battery voltage is sufficient for continuous operation.
• Težave s praznjenjem baterije:
  • Adjust the low voltage cut-off setting to a higher value to protect the battery more aggressively.
