OTHER APPLICATIONS

If your particular vehicle uses a cable operated shift mechanism, or a mechanical "rod style", one of the bracket

kits can likely be modified to fit your application, or you can fabricate your own. The actuator has a total stroke

of 2-1/4". You must weld or bolt a bracket to the shift arm on the transmission such that the arc of travel from

Park to Low gear is approximately 2-1/4". This will be the connection point of the actuator. Other optional

mounting techniques could involve purchasing a Ford or Chrysler shift cable and adapting it to your particular

vehicle. You could also mount the actuator inside the vehicle with this sort of cable control. Feel free to contact

EMC Service with your particular applications should you encounter installation problems.

2.3 MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER AND TOUCHPAD

The remaining modules - Controller Module and Touchpad - will be located inside the cabin of the vehicle.

The Controller Module can be attached under the dash in a convenient location, provided it is within reach of

the actuator harness and the electrical connections described in the next section. Avoid locating the module

next to a heat source.

The Touchpad will be mounted according to the users range of motion, needs or preference. On back of the

Touchpad you will find (2) 1/4-20 threaded studs to help facilitate attaching the Touchpad to something suit-

able.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT CUT THE CONNECTOR END OFF OF THE ACTUATOR TO ROUTE YOUR

CABLE AS IT IS A SPECIAL SHIELDED,TWISTED PAIR CABLE WITH THREE BLACK WIRES.

There is only (1) harness that will interface with the vehicle. The other connections are the telco cord from the

touchpad to the controller and the actuator connector to the controller. If you are routing the actuator cable

through the floorboard of the vehicle, DO NOT cut the connector off of the harness. This connector contains

shielded twisted pairs with three black wires. If this cable is cut and wired back incorrectly, damage to the

actuator will result which is not covered under warranty. Make sure you drill a large enough hole to accommo-

date the connector.

Locate the power cable which plugs into the Smart-Shift Harness port and connect the four wires as depicted

and explained in FIGURE 2.

RED - Connect to 12V dc source, through a 15 AMP circuit breaker that is hot only with the ignition of the

vehicle On.

BLACK - Connect to Chassis Ground.

WHITE - Connect to the brake light switch wire that has 12V dc only when the brake lights are "On". The Smart-

Shift will not work if this wire is not connected to a brake light feed.

GREEN - Connect to a wire that supplies the dash lamp with 12V dc when the dash lights are "On". This wire

provides backlight illumination to the touchpad.
