RS232 Transmitter TX1 White
RS232 Receiver RX1 Yellow
Ground wire GND Black

c. Wiring

 The E port of CANBOX is connected with splitter cable. Follow the following
steps to connect the electrical signal of the vehicle.

 Open the dashboard of the vehicle and use the multimeter or electroprobe to pin
down BAT (JCET), ACC, and GND, along with left (L-Turn) turn light and right
(R-Turn) turn light signal wires to start wiring.

 The A port of CANBOX is connected with the connector linking with one end
of DC-DC converter. The multiple-pin plug on the other end of the DC-DC converter
connects ADAS camera with the mark of CAN; the DMS camera with the
connection of multiple-pin plug is connected with ADAS camera with the end with
the mark of CAM (as presented in Figure 2).

2. ADAS Camera Installation

a. Location for installation

For medium and large-sized vehicles, the ADAS camera should be installed close to the
bottom of the windshield. The location is available within 20 cm from both sides of the
central axis as presented (in Figure 3). (Note: do not be blocked by wipers.)

Figure 3 shows the installation spot for ADAS camera on the windshield of medium and large-sized
vehicles

For small-sized vehicles, ADAS camera should be installed on the upper part of the
windshield, which is at the bottom part of the rear mirror. It is available within 20 cm from
3
both sides of the central axis as presented (in Figure 4). (Note: the installation location should
be within the wiper area with no blockage of camera by the wiper.)

Figure 4 shows the installation location of ADAS camera on the windshield of small-sized vehicles

b. Installation method

 Use the alcohol swab to clean the pre-installed area on the windshield.

 Preliminarily adjust the angle of the ADAS camera. If the front windshield is
perpendicular to the ground, make an initial adjustment as presented (in Figure 5.1);
if the angle between the front windshield and the ground is less than 90°, adjust the
tilted angle in accordance with the condition as presented (in Figure 5.2).

 Remove the 3M glue and lens protection film on the ADAS camera as
presented (in Figure 5.1). Attach ADAS camera on the windshield (with the help of
template tool or level meter).

Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2

c. Connect Wi-Fi

 Connect the power cables. When the green light is constantly on, press the
“Power” button and “Volume -” button on the ADAS camera at the same time for 1
to 2 seconds to wait for the green light to be switched off. The device will be
rebooted within 30 seconds. When the LED indicator constantly shows white light,
the Wi-Fi hot spot of the device is turned on, entering into the calibration mode.

 Use the mobile phone to connect with the Wi-Fi hot spot of the device in APP

Name of Wi-Fi: IMEI (on the label on the left of the device)

Note: click the Wi-Fi in APP and will connect automatically, no password.

d. APN configuration

After the device is turned on, if it shows yellow light after flashing red light, which
means the internet is unconnectable, you need first conduct “APN Configuration”.

 Enter into the calibration mode. Connect the Wi-Fi of the device and open the
A2 installation assistant as shown in Figure 5.3.

Figure 5.3

 Click “APN Configuration”, input details of APN(mcc, mnc, user name,

password, etc.) and click “save”(in Figure 5.4).

Figure 5.4

 If the yellow light of the device is still on, it means that the network does not
work. You may opt for the outbound roaming as presented (in Figure 5.5). (Note: the
opening of this function may divert the traffic to other operators, resulting in a large
sum of cost. Please ensure that the SIM card cannot be registered with networks run
by other operators if you want to open the function).

Figure 5.5

e. Log into the installation assistant

Enter the user name and password as shown in Figure 6 to get logged in and enter the
calibration APP page as shown in Figure 7. Please contact our business personnel to
obtain account information or you can just send an e-mail to [email protected].

3. Signal Test

It is used to examine whether the left turn and right turn signals are correctly linked. If
examination fails, the normal operation of the equipment will be influenced.

a. Click signal test as shown in Figure 8 and enter the signal test page. Click "Turn
signal test".

① Test for turning on left signal light
② Test for not turning on signal light
③ Test for turning on right signal light (as shown in Figure 9)
(Note: Before testing turn signal, you should turn on the signal light and then test
the signal. After finishing and passing the test, return to home page.)

Figure 9 Turn signal test

c. Serial port test

After completing turning signal test, you can test serial port if there is a device connected
with A2 via RS232. If not, you can skip as shown in Figure 10.

4. Calibration of ADAS camera

Select the vehicle model first: Flat-nose truck(Cab-over truck) or long-nose truck(truck with
hood) (e.g. car, pickup truck and SUV). When you have confirmed with the information as
shown in Figure 11, please start to measure and fill in calibration parameters. Unit: cm.

Figure 11 Select the vehicle model

 Measure the distance between the center line of the windshield and the axis of
ADAS camera as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12 Measure the parameters of the spot of the camera

 Measure the width of vehicle body: when the distance between the two margins
of the vehicle is obtained, please fill in the parameters and click the button of "Next"

as presented (in Figure 13).(Note: The addition of the length of the margin distances
from left and right can not be longer than the width of the vehicle body or you will
be unable to conduct the next operation.)

Figure 13 Measure the width of the vehicle

 The height of the camera to the ground: the vertical distance of the camera
toward the ground as shown in Figure 14.

 Measure the length from the camera to the bumper: the horizontal distance
between the camera and the front bumper. For flat-nose truck, don’t need to input the
length from the camera to the bumper. After filling in the above-mentioned
parameters, you can click the button of “Next”.

Figure 14 Measure the installation height

d. Adjust the angle of the camera

Enter the ADAS camera levelling interface and follow the guidance. Please mark the
height of the camera on the front reference object of the vehicle (for example, wall,
A2 calibration board, etc.). Click the button of "Next" as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15 The horizontal height mark of the camera

e. Adjust the ADAS camera

As presented in the following figures, use the slotted screwdriver to turn the screw
on the right side as shown in Figure 16.1 of the ADAS camera so as to adjust the
angle of elevation of the lens. Make the horizontal green line in the graph to be
overlapped with the marks on the reference object. Click the button of "Next" as
shown in Figure 16.2.

f. Calibration mode selection

Choose the calibration mode as shown in Figure 17.1.

Figure 17.1 Choose the calibration mode

Auto Calibration: When the device is installed, it will automatically calibrate itself when
driving in accordance with the road scenarios. A voice prompt will hint the success of auto
calibration. The specific operational steps are as shown in Figure 17.2. (Note: if calibration is
not completed for the first driving, it will continue the process on the second tour until the
prompt of successful calibration is given.)

Manual Calibration (Note: if you have chosen the Auto Calibration mode, please skip the
following steps.)

 Measure the height from the A2 calibration board to the ground as presented (in
Figure 18). Please tighten the A2 calibration board and the tripod fastening screws to
ensure that the height from the A2 calibration board to the ground remains the same
in the process of calibration.

Figure 18 The height of the A2 calibration board to the ground

 Place the A2 calibration board.

For flat-nose trucks, please place the A2 calibration board directly on the central axis
of the vehicle nose with a distance of 1.5 meters to the middle as presented (in Figure
19).

8. Onboard Test

a. Lane Departure Warning Test

When vehicle speed is higher than 50km/h, if changing lane without turning lights can
successfully trigger the warning, showing the device is in normal operation.

b. DMS Warning Test

Within 24 hours after first installation or when speed is more than 10km/h, if yawning
can be detected, showing that the device is in normal operation. (Note: After binding
vehicle plate information, there will be a 24-hour test mode, during which even when the
vehicle is not running, you can also experience DMS warning, for example yawning and
phone-making.)
