Permanent Installation

Permanently installing the AE355M scanner into a vehicle may be a legal problem in
cars, which are used in public traffic.
We recommend to use a permanent installation only in justified cases e.g. in
caravans on fixed places, garden houses, boats etc. equipped with 12 V battery or
solar power supply networks.
physically installing the scanner and physically connecting the power supply. It does
not matter which is installed first; perform these procedures in an order that is most
appropriate for your vehicle's configuration.

Permanently Mounting the AE355M scanner

1. Select a location to mount the AE355M unit. Avoid any locations that could
interfere with your driving. In a passenger car, the ideal location is underneath
the dashboard on the passenger side.
2. Use the mounting bracket (optional) as a template for marking the location of the
mounting screws. Note: If there are screws already holding the dashboard, you
may be able to use the same screw holes to mount the bracket.
3. Drill the necessary holes and secure the mounting bracket in place using the
screws provided.
CAUTION: Do not drill into air bags. Do not drill if what is behind the
dashboard is unknown.
4. Mount the scanner to the bracket only after the wiring has been connected to the
rear panel.

Permanently Connecting the Mobile Power Supply

CAUTION: If you are not experienced in connecting accessories to the vehicle
fuse box, please see your automotive dealer for advice on proper installation. In
any case, automotive regulations for cars do not allow any fixed wire 12 V
installation. In cars, please use only the supplied cigarette lighter cable.
1. Check the vehicle battery connections to determine which battery terminal
(positive or negative) is grounded to the engine block or chassis. Most of today's
vehicles, motor homes, boats, caravans use a negative ground. If your vehicle
has a negative ground, follow Steps 2 and 3. Otherwise skip to the Caution in
Step 3.
2. Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the accessory contact in your
vehicle's +13.8 VDC fuse box.
(13.8 V is the nominal DC voltage while engines are running and alternators or
mobile home or solar chargers are in operation in a 12 V network. The scanner
works fine under any voltage from appr. 10 V to 15.6 V in a standard 12 V
environment).
