Overview of the MERLIN Magic Massage
The Omega Merlin Magic Massage adds massage-like vibrating
operation to the driver’s seat. Although the Merlin is an aftermarket
accessory, it is designed so that it is fully integrated into the ve‘
hicle, and yet easy to install. The Merlin system in its standard
form has:
0 Six distinct vibrating "zones", in the form of off»balance
weighted prewired electric motors (or “transducers“l which are
installed in the driver's seat back rest.
I A small processing and control unit which is also designed to
be installed into the seat back. The transducers plug into this
processing and control unit. along with a 2-conductor power
and ground harness.
Q A wireless remote control unit. This remote control unit's
design also allows permanent mounting and direct wiring into
the vehicle’s electrical system for power and ground.
Merlin also offers “additional parts" option which is the addition of
two more transducers to the seat's bottom cushion. which are an
extension of the seat back‘s lower zones‘ operation.
About the Installation
Installation of the Merlin is actually very simple:
0 The six transducer motors are mounted with spray adhesive
into cavities cut into the seat back cushion material.
0 The transducer motor wirers leads are routed to and plugged
into the miniature processing and control unit, which is then
connected to power and ground.
Typically the base Merlin system kit can be installed with minimal
interior parts disassembly. and without removing the seat from the
vehicle. In most vehicles. removmg the seat back covering is an
easy, straightfonNard process as outlined in this booklet. Please
read these entire instructions before beginning the installation

General Upholstery Tips
To install the Merlin, the driver’s seat back covering must removed
or, in most cases. partially removed. When the standard system is
installed, typically the driver’s seat does not need to be removed
from the vehicle. It the installation includes the optional additional
pair of transducers to the seats bottom cushion, removing the
driver's seat from the vehicle is highly recommended. Please note
that there is a wide range otvariables in seat design and construc-
tion; these instructions are general tips and information.

Step 1 - Start by protecting interior areas, such as the seat bottom,
which need not be accessed with a clean drop cloth. Begin this
step with an inspection of the interior; any damage or blemishes
should be brought to the customer’s attention at this time to avoid
potential misunderstandings that the damage occurred during or
as a result of the installation.
Step 2 - Remove any hardware attached the seat back which will
prevent the seat covering's removal. Such hardware items include
armrests, seat back release locks and/or trim items.
0 Armrests may have a fastener such as a bolt or nut, usually
behind on the inside behind a trim cover. Another attachment
method involves pushing or pulling the arm rest. allowing it to
rotate outside of its normal travel, until it aligns with a slot in
the seat‘s frame, allowing it to be removed by pulling it away
from the seat back.
0 Controls such as seat back release locks are typically knobs
or handles which are attached by means of set screws, lock
clips. or even friction alone. Close inspection and careful
manipulation of the part usually is all that is needed to deter-
mine the correct removal method.

I Trim items, if present, are typically retained with fasteners such
as screws, which are usually found upon inspection. Other-
wise, many of these trim items are held in place with some
Page 4
type of “friction clip", which can be detected by careful exami-
nation and careful prying. Yet another attachment method is
the “sliding clip" in which the part is released by sliding it in a
sideways fashion. In some cases, especially older vehicles,
the entire rear of the seat back is separate panel which must
be removed in order to remove the seats covering. Follow
the same “trim items" guidelines. and particularly took for a
combination of removable fasteners, clips, and/or the “slide to
release" retention methods. If the seat has a separate head-
rest, it can usually be left in place. as the seat covering does
not have to be removed from that high level of the seat back.
Step 3 - When all of the previously mentioned items have been
removed, the actual seat covering material, whether cloth, vinyl or
leather, is next removed from the seat padding. The average seat
covering is basically like a sleeve, or “bag". and its open end is
fastened together in a seam at the very bottom of the seat back.
Fold the seat back forward, and examine this area. Fastening
methods vary, but typically encountered are plastic strips which
“lock" together (carefully pry to release the lock, then unsnap) or
zippers, or upholstery rings (also known as “hog rings"). Once the
seam is unfastened on this type of covering, simply grasp the bot~
tom and carefully pull up towards the top one side at a time, allow—
ing it to turn inside out, just like removing a sock from the foot.

0 During this initial examination, note that the processing and A
control unit mounting location should be within reach of the
transducers' wiring harnesses. The ideal location for the pro-
oessing and control unit is in the rear of the seat back; beneath
the seat is also a mounting location option.
Step 3- After determining the mounting locations. cavities must be

Then. the power harness must be routed and connected. In the
typical installation, this involves removing the step plate and rout~
ing the harness from a source of power, such as the fuse box. and
ground. and then to the processing and control unit. Make the
Black wire ground connection using the supplied ring terminal to an
existing bolt fastened to the vehicle’s metal
structure. Then insert the Red
power wire into the fuseholder,
and connect the fuseholder's

The LED on the processing
and control unit may be used
to test the Ignition +12 volt
source, as it illuminates
whenever the processing
control unit is receiving
power and ground.

Step 8- Now test the Merlin's functions. Refer to the operating
instruction card for complete operations description. However. the
purpose of this quick operational testis to ensure that all transduc-
ers are operational and that the transducers are plugged into the
processing and control module correctly. To test. sit in the seat in
order to test the Zones properly, and then:
1- Press the remote control unit’s POWER button; Merlin should
beep once and start the vibrating action.
24 Repeat pressing PATTERN "up“ until 1 long beep is heard;
ensure that all six transducers are vibrating.
3- Repeat pressing PATTERN “down" until 1 short beep is heard;
ensure that the following zone occurs: upper left. upper right.
middle left, middle right, both lower and both middle zones,
after which the operational pattern will repeat itself.
if all of the above indications are correct, the system test is suc-
cessful. and the installation may be completed. If any faults are
found, correct them now.
Step 9- Upon successful completion ofthe Merlin's system test, all
that remains to complete the installation is reinstalling the vehicle's
removed parts.
0 Reinstall the seat back's cover, which is reversing the removal
procedure. if the cover utilized hog ring fasteners, use new
hog rings which are installed with special pliers. Reinstall, it
removed, the armrest and/or all trim items.
0 Reinstall any other panels or trim items. such as the step plate,
which were also removed.
0 Place the wireless remote control unit and operating instruct-
ion card in a conspicuous location. The wireless remote con-
trol may be attached to operating instruction card hung from
the rearview mirror or a control knob. The operating instruction
card itself is destgned to be placed on the sun visor for quick
and convenient reference.

Optional Seat Bottom Transducers- An option for the Merlin
system is the addition of two additional transducers to the seat bot-
tom. lnstallation is the same process as the standard installation~
the seat base covering is removed sufflmently to allow installation
of the additional transducers in the seat’s thigh areas. While this
option greatly increases the effectiveness of the Merlin system, it
does require somewhat more installation labor beyond the stan-
dard installation. As noted in the Figure 16 diagram, the process-
ing and control unit has plug-in ports for these two additional op~
tional transducers.
Template- To assrst in the cutting of the cavttles needed for the
transducer motors, below is a template of the correct SomW x
6.50mL dimensions (1 3/16" x 2 9/16”). As shown the text and
Figure 8 on Page 7. making custom master templates for each
vehicle application is a valuable timesaving practice. Also indi-
cated below is the optimum transducer cavtty depth of 2.8cmD (1
