SCHRITT 1:

HERUNTERLADEN, INSTALLIEREN UND KONFIGURIEREN DER SOFTWARE

This is a good time to:

  • Unbox the ezCAN.
  • Decide what and how many accessories you will be installing, and their requirements. Must some accessories be connected in a specific manner and/or to specific power circuits? As an example, low-powered ‘smart’ accessories must typically be installed on the ezBUS (White) power circuit.
  • Read the Installing for Life section of the ezCAN User Manual (downloadable from here), and evaluate your planned installation according to the guidelines in that section.
  • Register your ezCAN (All you need to do to register the ezCAN is connect it to your computer using the supplied USB cable, meaning you can do it at the comfort of your desk.)

SCHRITT 2:

LOCATE THE DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR AND BATTERY

Diagnostic connector types:

Depending on year model, two different diagnostic connector types are used on ezCAN Tagus-compatible Triumph Tiger 1200s:

The OBD-II diagnostic connector used on earlier models looks like this:

The Euro 5-type diagnostic connector used on later models looks like this:

Step 1: Locate the diagnostic connector

  1. Remove the front and rear seats.
  2. The diagnostic connector is located under the front seat, to the rear of the fuse box. An OBD-II connector is shown in the green highlight below.

Note: The diagnostic connector may be obscured by part of the bike’s wiring harness. If you cannot see the connector, move the wiring harness portion indicated by the green arrow to access the connector.

SCHRITT 3:

Stecken Sie den ezCAN in den CAN-BUS

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the ezCAN’s CAN-bus connector to any part of the motorcycle other than the diagnostic connector. If you do, the ezCAN will not function.

  1. You have two options to install the main body of the ezCAN:
    • If ease of installation is the first priority, install the main body of the ezCAN under the front seat, in the vicinity of the diagnostic connector.
    • If keeping underseat storage space available for other accessories is the first priority, install the main body of the ezCAN under the rear seat (below).

2. Remove the protective cap from the motorcycle’s diagnostic connector.
3. Depending on what diagnostic connector type the motorcycle has, connect the JWPF-to-OBD-II CAN-bus adaptor or the JWPF-to-Euro 5 CAN-bus adaptor to the ezCAN’s white JWPF connector.
4. Depending on what diagnostic connector type the motorcycle has, connect the ezCAN adaptor’s male OBD-II plug or male Euro 5 plug to the motorcycle’s diagnostic connector.

IMPORTANT: OBD-II connectors have no locking mechanism. If the bike has an OBD-II diagnostic connector, make sure the ezCAN adaptor’s male OBD-II plug cannot accidentally separate from the bike’s female OBD-II connector.
We recommend that you secure the join between the male and female OBD-II connectors with self-sealing tape or electrical insulation tape.

SCHRITT 4:

CONNECT THE ezCAN TO THE BIKE'S BATTERY

Route both ezCAN power supply cables from the main body location to the battery.

Ensure that all wiring is routed safely and securely, in a way that does not allow it to chafe or pinch. Where needed, secure all wiring to frame tubes or other components using the cable ties supplied with the ezCAN installation kit.

WARNING: For safety reasons, always disconnect the negative battery terminal first, and re-connect it last. 

  1. Disconnect the negative wiring harness terminal from the negative battery pole.
  2. Disconnect the positive wiring harness terminal from the positive battery pole.
  3. Connect the terminal on the orange ezCAN power cable, and the bike’s positive wiring harness terminal, to the positive battery pole.
  4. Connect the terminal on the brown ezCAN power cable, and the bike’s negative wiring harness terminal, to the negative battery pole.
  5. Re-install the battery cover.
  6. Tidy the CAN-bus and battery cable routing, making sure you have easy access to the four power circuit plugs.
  7. Secure all loose cables using the cable ties included in the ezCAN installation kit.

Note: The HEX ezCAN’s status LED should be solid green for approximately a minute after connection to the battery. After this time, the ezCAN enters Sleep Mode, and there will be no LED activity until the bike’s ignition is switched ON.

CONNECT ACCESSORIES, USING COLOUR CODING

The ezCAN installation kit includes four two-wire stub connectors with male connection terminals, orange power wires and black ground wires.

The following parts are also included:

  • 4x pulse-width modulation (PWM) terminal wires (orange with white tracer)
  • 4x rubber blanking seals

If the accessory to be connected to a power circuit has three wires, convert a two-wire stub connector to a three-wire connector as shown in the Connecting 3-wire LED lights section of the HEX ezCAN User Manual (downloadable from here).

If the accessory to be connected to a power circuit has two wires, seal the stub connector’s empty terminal cavity as shown in the Connecting 2-wire accessories section of the HEX ezCAN User Manual.

If any of the ezCAN’s power circuits will not be used, we recommend that you connect a blanking plug to the output plug of each unused circuit.

2-wire applications: insert a blanking seal.
3-wire applications: insert a PWM terminal wire.

4x terminal wires and blanking seals
4x 2-wire stub connectors

Connect the male terminal of each stub connector to the relevant female ezCAN power circuit connector (below).

Connecting a 2-wire accessory to an ezCAN stub connector:

  1. Connect the accessory’s ground/Earth wire (this is usually, but not always black or brown) to the ground wire of an ezCAN stub connector.
  2. Connect the accessory’s power wire (this is usually, but not always red) to the 12V power wire of an ezCAN stub connector.


Connecting a 3-wire accessory to an ezCAN stub connector:

  1. Connect the accessory’s ground/Earth wire and power wire as described above.
  2. Connect the accessory’s PWM control wire to the dual-colour (solid colour+tracer) wire of an ezCAN stub connector.

Connecting low-power smart accessories to a power circuit:

If you are installing ‘smart’ accessories (that is, low-power accessories capable of intelligent input and control through the ezCAN’s LIN bus), note the following:

  1. Smart accessories (including the HEX ezSWITCH) must only be connected to the ezCAN’s ezBUS (white) power circuit. Smart accessories will not work if connected to the red, yellow or blue circuits.
  2. The ezBUS (white) power circuit can accommodate any odd or even number of individual accessories, to a maximum of fifteen.
  3. A selection of HEX ezBUS adaptors and connectors is available, allowing you to connect smart accessories quickly and easily. See the ezBUS Accessories section of the Hex Innovate online store for details.


Read the Hex ezBUS and Configuring Hex ezBUS functionality sections of the ezCAN user manual (downloadable from here) for detailed information on how to use ezBUS functionality.

Note that if the white circuit is set to ezBUS mode, its fuse trip limit is set to 15 Amps by default. If needed, ezBUS PWR functionality can be used to increase the white circuit’s current capacity to a maximum of 30 Amps in ezBUS mode. See the relevant section of the ezCAN User Manual for details.

IMPORTANT: If the accessory stub connectors included in your ezCAN installation kit do not have orange power wires, but instead have colours that match the colouring of the ezCAN power circuits (as seen below), always connect like-to-like (red stub connector to red power circuit, blue stub connector to blue power circuit, and so on.)

DIE INSTALLATION TESTEN

WARNING: Test and check your installations and accessories in a safe, controlled environment before first use. Caution is advised at all times. Extra vigilance is needed when testing new features or accessories. You do so at your own risk.

DISCLAIMER: Hex Innovate is not liable for any injury or damage, howsoever caused, and all products and services are used at your own risk.

Before finalizing the ezCAN installation, or re-installing any components you may have removed, it is important that you test all newly installed accessories for satisfactory fitment and correct operation.

Many ezCAN-powered accessories can be tested by switching the ignition ON and operating the relevant controls. Exceptions include:

  • Accessories for which you have enabled the Only on when engine running feature (examples may include Aux 1 lights, Aux 2 lights, MotoLights, and heated clothing). To test these functions, the bike’s engine must be running.
  • Some brake light functions require that the bike be moving at or above a certain speed. As examples, Flash on Emergency Stop and Flash on Rapid Engine Braking functions require deceleration of more than 21 Kilometres per hour per second.
