EVA Installation Guide

The document provides installation instructions for an EVA-1 sensor unit in 3 main steps: 1. The sensor can be mounted either in an open installation using bolts through sheet metal, or a blind installation from the outside using self-clinching fasteners. Locate the sensor low on the front of the vehicle. 2. Route the sensor's cable to the indicator unit, securing it with nylon ties to avoid interference. Connect the cables. 3. Mount the indicator in the vehicle cab where the warning light and mute button are accessible, connecting the power cable to the fuse panel.

EVA-1 Installation Guide

Sensor Installation
The sensor unit should be mounted with the round window facing forward, with the sensor base
in any orientation. The sensor should be located low on the front of the vehicle, since that
location will detect both airborne particles and ground contamination. The sensor may be
mounted either in an open installation, such as on a grill guard, by bolting through sheet metal
into the tapped holes in the base, or a blind installation from the outside using fasteners that
crimp onto sheet metal. Before drilling any holes, consult with your vehicle manufacturer for
guidelines on after market installation placement restrictions to prevent voiding the vehicle
warranty.

Open Sensor Installation


The sensor base has two 10-32 holes tapped into its
bottom on either side of the cable.
1. Select a location that will allow threading the fourconductor cable from the sensor to the indicator.
2. Using the drill guide pattern, mark and drill two
clearance holes (.25) for the 10-32 machine screws.
3. Also using the drill guide pattern, mark and drill a
.500 (1/2) hole for the four-conductor cable.
Deburr the hole.
4. Pass the cable through the center hole.
5. Secure the sensor to the vehicle with the (2) 1032x1/2 machine screws.

Blind Sensor Installation


For a blind installation the sensor must be mounted on sheet metal with a thickness from .020 to
.130. Two sets of PEM fasteners are included in the installation kit: the shorter two have a grip
range of .020 to .080, and the longer two have a grip range of .080 to .130.
1. Select a location that will allow threading the four-conductor cable from the sensor to the
indicator.
2. Using the drill guide, mark and drill two holes (.266 +.006 -.000) for the PEM fasteners.
3. Also using the drill guide, mark and drill a .500 (1/2) hole for the four-conductor cable.
Deburr the hole.
4. Determine the thickness of the sheet metal and select the appropriate set of PEM fasteners.
5. Pass the four-conductor cable through the center hole.
6. Loosen the screw holding the sensor to its base and tilt the sensor to expose a threaded hole
in the base.
7. Install a 6-32x1/2 hex-head machine screw through the exposed hole in the base and into a
PEM fastener until it is finger tight. Press the fastener into one of the .266 holes.
8. Hold the sensor to prevent the base from turning. Using a nut driver, tighten the screw to
crimp the fastener while also applying pressure onto the base to keep the fastener from
spinning. Remove the screw and repeat for the other hole.
9. Remove the screw and verify that the fasteners are secured to the vehicle.
10. Remove the sensor from its base to expose both holes the in the base for the 6-32x1/2
screws.
11. Secure the sensor base to the vehicle with (2) 6-32x1/2 machine screws and (2) #6 lock
washers.
12. Remount the sensor onto its base and position the sensor with the face pointing towards the
front on the vehicle. Secure the sensor onto the base with the 10-32 machine screw
removed in step 10.

Indicator Installation
The indicator should be mounted in
the cab where its warning light will be
noticed, and within reach so that the
mute button can be pressed. It must
be located where the two cables can
be routed to its back without
interference. The unit may be
mounted with 6-32 sheet metal screws
that go directly into the dash, or the
PEM fasteners may be used for a blind
installation. Since the unit is very light,
the supplied double sided adhesive
strip may be used to secure the unit if
screwing it down is not practical. If the
cable is routed through the supporting
material, the center hole should be
.500 (1/2).

Four-Conductor Cable Routing


Route the cable from the sensor in the front of the vehicle to the indicator in the cab assuring
that it does not interfere with any moving parts. Secure the cable with the nylon ties that are
included so that it will not chafe. Where possible route the cable with other wire harnesses.
Avoid the spark plug wires and distributor wires that may interfere with the signals between the
sensor and the indicator. Where the cable passes through sheet metal, assure that it is
protected from chafing. Plug the four-conductor connector into the mating socket on the
indicator.

Fuse Panel Connection


Route the two-conductor power cable from the indicator to the fuse panel in the cab.
Connect the red wire to a fused source of 12VDC that is switched with the ignition. Connect
the black wire to ground. Plug the two-conductor connector into the mating socket on the
indicator.
