Tools and Electrical Parts List COBAN DOES NOT supply Tools and Materials for installations. Due to the uniqueness of every installation, COBAN cannot predict exactly what tools, electrical connectors, or hardware may be necessary for each individual installation. COBAN provides a connector kit and hardware kit that includes the basic connectors and hardware for most installs, however this may not cover every installation. It is recommended that the installing technicians have a ready supply of these basic tools and supplies on hand: 8” x 12” x 3/4" thick - plywood Liquid Nail™ adhesive (this brand only) Power drill (12V minimum) Drill bits (various sizes) /16” driver bit #20 TORX™ bit /16”” socket with ratchet (full socket set is recommended) /16”” wrench Adjustable wrench Phillips screwdriver Wire cutters Wire crimpers /4” antenna hole saw Razor knife Windproof lighter (for shrink terminals) Wire fish Electrical tape Silicone sealant (to seal grommet in firewall, after wire is run through it) Assortment of fuses 16AWG stranded primary wire 14AWG stranded primary wire Various sizes of cable zip ties Various sizes of wire loom Various sizes and types of electrical connectors Note: COBAN requires the use of shrink type connectors only for waterproofing purposes; please remember to apply heat to shrink the ends of the connectors. Failure to shrink these connectors as prescribed may result in VOIDING THE COBAN WARRANTY if there is exposure to corrosion or moisture in these electrical connections. WARNING: The use of “Vampire Clips” and “Scotch Locks” is NOT ALLOWED by COBAN due to frequent failure and connectivity degradation over time, and said use thereof will VOID THE COBAN WARRANTY, unless the following criteria are followed explicitly: Only allowed when used to tap into the vehicle factory wire harness Only 3M™ brand T-taps and spades are allowed Allowed for use to tap into only the factory wire harness of the brake sensor circuit, gunlock sensor circuit, and door sensor circuits In addition to the installation of these specified taps, each connection will be further secured by wrapping with electrical tape, cold shrink tape, or heat shrink tubing. CPU Installation The CPU and Smart Power Module should be mounted directly on the pullout tray in the trunk. If there is no tray available; the Components should be mounting on a piece of plywood at least three quarter inch (3/4”) thick, which could be glued to the Deck above the fuel tank. Note: COBAN Technologies WILL NOT take responsibility for a DAMAGED FUEL TANK if units are installed by a Third Party Contractor or Fleet Personnel. Plywood Deck Mount 1. Locate an appropriate space on the Trunk Deck for mounting the Smart Power Module. WARNING: The Installation Technician MUST ensure that the installation of the CPU mount does not in any way compromise the integrity of the vehicle’s Fuel Tank. Be sure that the fastening screws are not longer than the thickness of the Plywood. Use the recommended glue, as fast drying glues become brittle, and can easily vibrate loose from the Deck surface. 2. Remove the carpeting covering the hole plug. 3. Apply adequate amount of Liquid Nail to the mounting surface. 4. Press a piece of plywood (minimum 3/4” thick) firmly onto the glue. 5. Replace the carpet over the plywood, and allow sufficient time for the glue to set. WARNING: Liquid Nail™ requires 8 hours to set, and 24 hours to completely cure. It is not recommended to release the vehicle back into service before the full curing time has been reached. LIQUID NAIL™ IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO OPEN FLAME OR SPARKS BEFORE THE FULL CURING TIME HAS BEEN REACHED. 6. The four ( 4 ) ¼ -20 x ½” hex head bolts with nylon threaded nuts slide into the grooves in the railing of the CPU and secure it to the CPU Mount. 7. Tighten the four ( 4 )¼ -20 x ½” hex head bolts with nylon threaded nuts with a crescent wrench and ensure that the CPU is secured in place. Tray Mount 1. Set the CPU Mount onto the sliding tray and mark the position for pilot holes. 2. Use a 5/16” metal drill bit to drill the four pilot holes in the sliding metal tray. 3. The four ( 4 ) ¼ -20 x ½” hex head bolts with nylon threaded nuts slide into the grooves in the railing of the CPU and secure it to the CPU Mount. 4. Tighten the four ( 4 )¼ -20 x ½” hex head bolts with nylon threaded nuts with a crescent wrench and ensure that the CPU is secured in place.

Securing Collar O‐ring Wide Angle Camera This Camera is often used to view the Prisoners in the rear passenger compartment; through the rear Windshield; or passenger side windows of the Vehicle. It utilizes a ‘Proprietary’ Camera mount designed by COBAN, and should be secured firmly to the side Structural Rib, or the Roll Bar of the Prisoner Cage (mounting locations will vary according to Department specifications). As this is a Wide Angle Camera, some view adjustments will need to be made by the Technician during the testing phase and before releasing the vehicle back into service. This Accessory will be plugged into the designated Color Coded Pig-Tail on the CPU (blue), or may possibly be routed through a ‘Multi-Camera Junction Box’ (depending on the number of Cameras being installed in that particular vehicle), that will be mounted near the CPU. COBAN will have Tags on the Cables and the Multi-Camera Junction Box to designate Camera 1, 2, or 3, and these Cameras will be placed in locations designated by Department specifications.
