51VDO RoadLog™ EOBR InstallationThis chapter of the Owner’s Manual is intended to help you get your RoadLog EOBR installed, up and running quickly and easily. BEFORE STARTING:• To avoid damage to the vehicle or risk of electric shock, always confirm the location of electric wires and air lines by consulting the vehicle’s owner’s manual or your local vehicle repair facility. If there is any uncertainty about the location of electric wires, disconnect the vehicle battery before drilling.• Be careful when installing cable or wires to avoid kinks, knots or twisting in the line.• Be certain cable/wires are not rubbing on sharp edges.RECOMMENDED TOOLS:• Drill • Pen or pencil• 5mm Hex Key• Tape measure• Phillips & Flathead ScrewdriversChapter 2: VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Installation1. VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Installation

52VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Installation1. Make sure you have the correct Installation Kit!• RoadLog can be connected with 6-pin, 9-pin, 16-pin OBDII or open-end “basic” cable. Only one cable is required. Choose the one that fits your connector or choose the open-end if you have no connector and will connect individual wires to the vehicle. (For basic cable, installation by a professional shop is recommended. When using the basic cable the ignition line should be connected.)• Each cable is supplied with the basic installation bracket. Y-Cables are an optional upgrade that retain an open cable connector in the cab.2. Choose your Mounting Option.• The “basic” bracket is included with each installation kit. The optional omni-directional mount (Part #3290-90110100) allows for more mounting location options and greater control of the viewing angle.16 pin direct OBDII Open end9 pin Y with ange9 pin direct6 pin direct 16 pin Y OBDII9 pin Y with ange w/plastic nut6 pin YOMNI-DIRECTIONAL MOUNT (optional)INSTALL OMNI-DIRECTIONAL MOUNT WITH DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE OR WITH SCREWS AND WELL-NUTS.LOOSEN HANDLE ON MOUNT TO REMOVE UPPER PORTION.

53VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Installation3. Choose your Mounting Location.*Recommended locationsA. Top of the dash driver’s left side*B. Top of the dash driver’s center*C. Instrument panel driver’s right sideD. Overhead console driver’s left sideE. Overhead console driver’s center sideF. Overhead console driver‘s right side4. Attach your Bracket or Mount.• The bracket or omni-directional mount can be attached with the adhesive foam pads or with screws and well-nut inserts supplied. When using the adhesive foam pads be sure to clean the surface with a single direction swipes by using an alcohol prep pad supplied in the installation kit. Let it dry and apply the tape. The tape will cure in 24-48 hours. The best results are achieved when the surface is warm, so you may want to warm up the cab if the ambient temperature is low.• Screws and well-nut inserts will require drilling into the cab’s interior. If using screws, first mark the mounting holes using the bracket or omni-mount base plate as a guide. Make sure to avoid drilling into any electrical cables and air supply lines underneath the surface. • If using well-nuts, use a 3/8” drill bit to create a hole in which to insert the well-nut shaft. Again, make sure to avoid drilling into the electrical cables and air supply lines underneath the surface.5. Prepare the RoadLog.• Unpack the EOBR. • Remove the service panel on the underside. • Insert the Battery. • Connect the cable. • Close the service panel. Pry open the service panel with a small, athead screwdriver. Plug the battery connector into the jack and place the battery into the holder. Check marking and plug the data cable. Attach the corrugated pipe.Close the service panel again and insert the three screws included in the box.IMPORTANT: Choose a location that will allow easy operation, but will not block your view of the road.DeFaBcNOTE: The unit must be placed a minimum of 10 inches (20 cm) away from the driver.

54VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Installation6. Connect Cable.• Run the cable from the RoadLog to the vehicle data port. The cable can be run behind the interior dash panels via gaps between them or by their removal where necessary. • Secure the cable out of the driver’s range of motion and moving parts – coil up and secure the excess cable by using zip ties provided.• Connect the cable to the vehicle data port. The device will power up and be ready for the initial on screen setup.• NOTE: If using the Open End Cable, follow the wiring indications shown on Page 6.7. Install RoadLog into Mount.Basic bracket:Place the RoadLog into the basic bracket and install the knobs. Adjust the screen view angle and then tighten the knobs. Omni-directional mount (optional):Loosen the handle until the upper portion of the mount can be removed. Attach the upper mount to the underside of the RoadLog using screws provided. Place the RoadLog and upper mount back into the clamp and retighten while adjusting the screen view angle as required.8. Load Paper Roll.To load the paper roll (Part # 3290-90010100), lift the access panel at the top of the RoadLog, lay the paper roll into the cavity and pull the leading edge of the paper forward, towards the screen. The roll should be inserted so that when the paper comes out, it curls towards the back of the unit. 9. Compliance Sticker.Applying the included sticker to the window of your cab is optional, but doing so will ensure that anyone who sees it knows your vehicle is complying with EOBR regulations. (Clean surface before applying.)1Cable ports are usually located in the dash (1) or on the oor to the left of the driver’s seat (2).Correct roll orientation Incorrect roll orientationElectronic Driver Lo gs2

55VDO RoadLog™ EOBR InstallationInstructions for Open End “Basic” CableIf using the Open End “Basic” Cable, follow the pin / wire color assignments from the table:Note: If the vehicle ignition line is accessible during RoadLog installation, it’s recommended that the ignition line be connected with the device (see vehicle connector). If the ignition line is connected, it’s recommended that the Wake up condition configuration parameter be set to the ignition only setting.For the vehicles in which the ignition line is not accessible, RoadLog can detect the vehicle ignition on / off status based on the vehicle synchronization data received. Therefore, if the ignition line is not connected, the Wake up condition configuration parameter should be set to the ignition or vehicle data setting. See Setting the Wake up conditionIf the ignition or vehicle configuration setting is chosen, the installer must verify that RoadLog is in fact receiving the ignition on / off status based on the received vehicle synchronization data. If the status is not being received, RoadLog cannot function properly.Pin NoSignal Name DescriptionWire Color PurposeNotes / Connection1TERM15 Terminal 15 ignition signalBrown Input of vehicle ignition line2TERM30 Terminal 30 power supply voltageRed Supply line from vehicle battery (+)3CAN1_H CAN1 High LineCAN_H connection to vehicle CAN bus (J1939-11/15)Must be twisted together with CAN1-L wire4TERM31 Terminal 31power supply groundBlack Ground line, GND5CAN1_L CAN1 Low LineCAN_L connection to vehicle CAN bus (J1939-11/15)Must be twisted together with CAN1-H wire6CAN1_GNDCAN 1 groundCAN_GND connection to vehicle CAN bus (J1939-11/15)7J170 8 (+) RS484 line A J1708 (+) connection to vehicle SAE J1708 bus8J170 8 (-) RS484 line B J1708 (-) connection to vehicle SAE J1708 bus9SPEED_INSpeed pulse signal input Vehicle speed pulse input from vehicle speed sensor (ISO16844)10 RPM_IN Revolution pulse signal input RPM pulse input from vehicle engine controller ECU11 CAN2_H CAN2 HighLineCAN_H connection to proprietary CAN bus (third party device connection)Must be twisted together with CAN2-L wire12 CAN2_L CAN2 Low LineCAN_L connection to proprietary CAN bus (third party device connection)Must be twisted together with CAN2-H wire13 CAN2_GNDCAN2 ground CAN_GND connection to proprietary CAN bus (third party device connection)14 DIGITAL_IN1Digital input 1 Digital input (tri-state: not used (high-Z)/ high-level active input/ low-level active input)15 DIGITAL_IN2Digital input 2 Digital input (tri-state: not used (high-Z)/ high-level active input/ low-level active input)16 RFU Not used Reserved for future use12111098712345613141516The basic cable has a total of 8 wires and only Pins 1, 2 and 4 are connected: ignition, battery ( + ) and ground ( – ), respectively.
