STEP 2: GET STARTED

  1. Download and install the HEX ezCAN configuration software.
  2. Install the HEX ezCAN device on your bike.
  3. Use the USB cable included in the ezCAN installation kit to connect your computer to the ezCAN.
  4. Open the HEX ezCAN configuration software.

STEP 3: CONFIGURE THE CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS

For BMW motorcycles:
The power circuit configuration procedure differs between Generation I ezCAN for BMW and Generation II ezCAN for BMW.

  • If you are configuring a Generation I ezCAN, follow step 3B below.
  • If you are configuring a Generation II ezCAN, follow step 3A below.


For all other motorcycle brands:
All motorcycle brands other than BMW use Generation II ezCAN hardware exclusively.
If you are configuring an ezCAN for any motorcycle that is not a BMW, follow step 3A below.

If you are not sure whether your ezCAN is Generation I or Generation II, click here to find out.

STEP 3A: Setting circuit functions on a Generation II ezCAN

Set the power circuit functions according to the type of accessory connected to each power circuit (for example: auxiliary lights, horn, brake light, or other accessory types).

  1. Click the circuit function icon. A linked display menu containing configuration options will be shown (In the example on the right, the Red Circuit has been selected).
  2. Click the configuration option you want from the list of available options.

STEP 3B: Setting circuit functions on a Generation I ezCAN (2-wire & 3-wire devices)

Set the power circuit functions according to the type of accessory connected to each power circuit (for example: auxiliary lights, horn, brake light, or other accessory types).

  1. Click the circuit function icon. A linked display menu containing configuration options will be shown (In the example on the right, the Red Circuit has been selected).
  2. Click the configuration option you want from the list of available options.

STEP 4: SET THE FUSE TRIP LIMITS

The fuse trip limits are pre-set for each power circuit, but can be adjusted to your needs. Set the fuse trip level for every power circuit that is in use.

  1. Calculate the correct fuse trip level for the circuit as shown in the Making the correct fuse selection section of the ezCAN user manual.
  2. Click the fuse value below the circuit function icon. The fuse setpoint menu will be shown (right).
  3. Select the correct fuse trip value from the list.

STEP 5: CONFIGURE AUXILIARY FRONT LIGHTS

For safety and visibility reasons, the intensity levels of all auxiliary front lights connected to the ezCAN are adjustable for day and night riding.

  • If your bike has an ambient light sensor, the reading from this sensor determines the day/night condition.
  • For all other bikes, day/night condition is determined by the time of day shown on the bike’s clock.


The ‘sun’ (☀) sliders let you adjust the daytime intensity of the relevant auxiliary lights. The ‘moon’ (☾) sliders let you adjust the night-time intensity of the relevant auxiliary lights (right).

Daytime and night-time intensity of all front auxiliary lights can be adjusted from 0% to 100% of maximum in increments of 10%.

Activate or deactivate front auxiliary lights

IMPORTANT:

Additional options for front auxiliary lights

This function turns the corresponding side’s front auxiliary lights off whenever a turn signal is active on that side. This ensures that the bike’s turn signals are always visible when used.

Note: To enable this feature on a Generation 1 ezCAN, one front auxiliary light must be connected to a high-power (red or orange) circuit. The other front auxiliary light in the same light set must be connected to a low-power (white or yellow) circuit.

This function turns the corresponding side’s front auxiliary lights on whenever a turn signal is active on that side. This enhances the visibility of the turn signal on that side.

This function strobes all front auxiliary lights whenever the horn is active.

This function strobes all front auxiliary lights whenever the flash-to-pass button is triple-clicked.

This function allows the bike’s hazard warning lights and front auxiliary lights to flash in an alternating pattern. This ensures that the hazard lights are always visible, even when front auxiliary lights are at maximum brightness.

If three-wire auxiliary front lights have been installed, switch this
mode ON for the relevant power circuit. If two-wire auxiliary front
lights have been installed, switch this mode OFF for the relevant power circuit.

IMPORTANT:

  • If 3-Wire Dimming Mode is not switched OFF for two-wire lights, the lights will remain at full brightness regardless of their actual day/night brightness setting.
  • If 3-Wire Dimming Mode is not switched ON for three-wire lights, the lights may flicker or ‘stutter’ when their brightness is adjusted, or their brightness adjustment may ‘jump’ between low and high settings.
  • This function is not available on Generation I 2-wire ezCANs (all Generation I devices have been discontinued).

This setting modulates the output of front auxiliary lights, allowing them to dim and brighten 4 times per second.

By default, brightness is modulated between a user-specified intensity and 70% of the specified intensity.

If enabled, the Modulation function is active only during the daytime.

STEP 6: CONFIGURE REAR & BRAKE LIGHTS

WARNING: Read this section carefully before adjusting any ezCAN-powered rear/brake lights.
All configuration options below are accessed using the ezCAN configuration software.

Original (factory) rear light behaviour:
ezCAN settings have no effect on the bike’s factory rear light. This light will always be active whenever the ignition is ON.

Rear accessory light behaviour:
If you wish, you can configure any rear accessory rear light powered by the ezCAN to remain off even when the ignition is ON.

Original (factory) brake light behaviour:
ezCAN settings have no effect on the bike’s factory brake light. This light is only activated if either or both brake levers are pressed.

Rear accessory brake light behaviour:
As well as being activated by brake lever pressure, you can also configure any accessory brake light powered by the ezCAN to activate on other types of trigger, such as sudden deceleration.

WARNING: If an accessory rear light is set to illuminate too brightly, it may have the effect of ‘masking’ brake lights.
It is recommended that the brightness setting of any accessory rear light should be substantially less than the brightness setting of the accessory brake light. This applies whether or not the accessory rear light and the accessory brake light are separate lights.

  • The Running Light Intensity slider (right) sets the accessory rear light’s brightness between 0% and 100% of its maximum brightness.
  • The Brake Light Intensity slider (right) sets the accessory brake light’s brightness between 0% and 100% of its maximum brightness. If the accessory brake light is set to a ‘flashing’ type, this setting also determines the brightness of the flash effect.

Apply optional configuration to accessory brake lights

Under active braking, the accessory brake light comes on at a constant, user-specified brightness, without flashing, and goes off when the brake levers are released.
Brake light behaviour mimics that of the bike’s factory brake light.

Under active braking, the accessory brake light flashes four times per second at the user-specified brightness, and goes off when the brake levers are released.

Under active braking, the accessory brake light flashes four times per second for one second at the user-specified brightness, then remains on at constant brightness until the brake levers are released.

Click here to see the full California legal requirement (25251.5. (c))

Under active emergency braking conditions, the accessory brake light flashes four times per second at the user-specified brightness, and goes off when the brake levers are released.

The sensitivity of the Emergency Stop function can be increased or decreased using the Emergency Stop sensitivity slider in the Brake Light Extra Settings sub-menu (right).

For Emergency Stop flashing to be triggered, the bike’s speed must be greater than 50 Km/h (30 mph), and the brake must be applied.

The accessory brake light flashes four times per second at the user-specified brightness if there is hard engine braking (but the brakes are not being used), and goes off when the bike stops decelerating. This alerts other road users that you are slowing quickly, even if you are not actively braking.

The sensitivity of the Rapid Engine Braking function can be increased or decreased using the Engine braking sensitivity slider in the Brake Light Extra Settings sub-menu (right).

For Rapid Engine Braking flashing to be triggered, the bike’s speed must be greater than 50 Km/h (30 mph), and the brake must not be applied.

STEP 7: CONFIGURE RUN/BRAKE/TURN LIGHTS

What are Run/Brake/Turn lights?
A Run/Brake/Turn light is a red rear light that, depending on circumstances, functions in different ways:

  • Under normal running conditions, it functions as a running light.
  • Under braking, it functions as a brake light.
  • If the vehicle is turning in the direction of the side on which the light is installed, the light functions as a turn signal (typically illuminating at brake-light intensity). 


Why would you want to use Run/Brake/Turn lights?
Run/Brake/Turn lights are typically used to increase the visibility of wider vehicles, and vehicles with unusual configurations (such as motorcycles with sidecars).

When the Run/Brake/Turn function is enabled, the following operating conditions apply:

  • Flash on braking and California legal flashing options are not available for Run/Brake/Turn lights, as these functions could cause a flashing brake light to be mistaken for a turn signal.
  • The Flash on Emergency Stop and Flash on Rapid Engine Braking options can be enabled. If one or both of these options are enabled, their activation will override turn signal activation.


When the Run/Brake/Turn function is enabled, function priority (from highest to lowest) is:

  1. Flash on Emergency Stop / Rapid Engine Braking
  2. Turn signal
  3. Brake light
  4. Running light

STEP 8: CONFIGURE THE HORN

The Horn function applies full battery voltage to the relevant power circuit whenever the bike’s horn button is pressed.

If you often use the factory horn for very short ‘bursts’ and want to avoid activating the accessory horn during a short burst, you can add a time delay of 0.25 seconds or 0.5 seconds between the time the horn button is pressed and the time the horn activates by clicking-and-dragging the Delay slider (right, above). Alternatively, set the slider fully to the left to disable the horn delay.

If needed, you can disable the accessory horn fuction by clicking the Horn enabled slider.

STEP 9: CONFIGURE THE ACCESSORY/IGNITION SUPPLY

If a power circuit is set as a 12-volt accessory circuit, it will supply full battery voltage whenever the bike’s ignition is ON.

This function has a configurable delay time-out (to a maximum of 60 seconds) that will keep the output ON for the configured time after the bike’s ignition has been switched OFF (right, above).

Setting the time-out of the Accessory/ Ignition Supply

Use the Time-out slider (right, above) to set the preferred time-out delay. This avoids power cuts to the accessories connected to the relevant circuit during ignition cycles.

STEP 10: CONFIGURE TURN SIGNALS

Depending on its configuration, any light configured to function as an auxiliary turn signal will be:

  • Active as a running light or marker light whenever the ignition switch is ON
