3 INSTALLING FOR LIFE
To install your ezCAN in a way that ensures optimum, trouble-free
performance in all conditions, you must:
1. Protect the main body from damage. Where you install the silver
body of the ezCAN depends on what space is available. Install the
ezCAN’s main body where it will be protected from crushing,
impacts and vibration. Although the ezCAN is highly water
resistant, try not to expose it to water spray from the wheels or
from high-pressure cleaning equipment.
2. Ensure easy diagnostics. With the ezCAN installed and secured,
make sure you have easy access to the Status LED, and the
ezCAN’s main fuse.
3. Mount the main body securely. If you use the Velcro strips
supplied with the kit, first clean the silver body and your planned
mounting point with methyl alcohol. Otherwise, secure the main
body to a frame tube or other solid component using medium-sized
zip ties.
4. Protect the wiring. When routing the ezCAN wiring to the battery,
CAN-bus connector, accessory power points and other
connections, run the wiring next to existing wiring, under body
panels, and behind frame tubes. Make sure all wiring is kept well
clear of moving components (such as fork stanchions, steering
triple clamps and swingarms), and is not in danger of being cut,
abraded or overheated.
5. Secure the wiring. Securely fasten all ezCAN and accessory
wiring to frame tubes or non-moving components with zip ties. Do
not over-tighten the zip ties.

3.1 Making the correct fuse selection
You must correctly set the cut-off amperage limit for every ezCAN power
circuit you use. Setting these limits too high will make them ineffective,
possibly causing dangerous over-current conditions. Setting the limits too
WARNING
Make sure that all amperage cut-off limits are set correctly.
If this is not done, current overload conditions could
damage your accessories or cause electrical fires.
