The wireless connection with Bluetooth technology is a technology that supplies
a standard and reliable method to exchange information between different
devices, using radio waves. Products such as cellular phones, portable devices,
computers, printers, cameras, pocket PCs etc. use this type of technology.
The Bluetooth interface searches for compatible electronic devices according
to the radio signal they generate and establishes a connection between them.
The tools operate a selection suggesting only compatible / enabled devices.
This does not exclude the presence of other sources of communication or
interference.
THE EFFICIENCY AND THE QUALITY OF THE BLUETOOTH
COMMUNICATION MAY BE INFLUENCED BY THE PRESENCE OF RADIO
DISTURBANCE SOURCES. THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL HAS
BEEN DEVELOPED TO MANAGE THESE TYPES OF ERRORS; HOWEVER,
IN THESE CASES COMMUNICATION MAY BECOME DIFFICULT AND
CONNECTION MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
SHOULD THE WIRELESS CONNECTION ENCOUNTER SERIOUS
PROBLEMS THAT MAY COMPROMISE A REGULAR COMMUNICATION,
THE SOURCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND ITS INTENSITY REDUCED.

12 eTRUCK INSTALLATION KIT FOR VOLVO EURO IV-V
(ACCESSORY)
The industrial vehicles of the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Truck, with approval
class Euro IV and Euro V, were created in different configurations, many of
which have two diagnostic sockets.
One is the EOBD connection, the other is the Volvo Truck proprietary diagnostic
socket (Texa ref.: connection cable 3151 / T11B).
In order to use the eTRUCK device to its fullest potential, the electrical wiring
needs to be modified in this series of vehicles.
This is because the installed EOBD diagnostic socket does not allow analysing
all the values, but only the parameters of the EOBD standard protocol.
The modification does not require special technical skills, and the installation
kit contains the material and information that are needed to carry out the
modification.
However, the work should be performed by technical personnel with all the
necessary knowledge to perform it properly.
Following is a step-by-step description of the procedure operations,
accompanied by explanatory images.
