7.3.1 Current supply wire
• The electrical current supply must be taken from a wire
that does not carry current when the ignition is turned off.
The wire selected must be "live" when the ignition is turned
on, but before the engine starts. The flow of electrical
current must not depend on the operation of any other
electrical system or device.
• We recommend use of the wire feeding the rear window
defogger, or any wire downstream from the fuse box
running from any terminal marked no.15 (non German
manufactured cars may use other symbols, numbers
and/or letters). Do not connect to the wire that powers the
computerized control system in the vehicle.
If the wiring for the harness belt system is connected to a
wire which carries current even when the ignition is off, the
electro-magnetic components of the harness belt system
could draw current continuously and discharge your car’s
battery while parked.
Check the wiring diagram of your vehicle for a suitable lead,
that can be easily used for proper installation as explained
above. If in doubt, please see your car dealer.
If you install two SCHROTH asm-autocontrol harnessbelt
systems in your car, you only have to connect the electrical
system of the left (driver side) retractor directly to a current
supply of the vehicle.
Be sure to follow the wiring instructions for the right (passenger
side) retractor in paragraph 7.3.3 below.
7.3.2 Connecting
To prevent damage to your car’s electrical system, only
make the following connections when the ignition
is turned off.
The fuse wire can be connected at any suitable position to the
current supply wire (from terminal 15 at fuse box in cars of
German manufacture) by the cable connector included.
Do not remove any insulation from the wire!
1. Position power supply lead (from terminal 15 in cars of
German manufacture) in groove (1) of cable connector.
2. Turn shackle (3) including the wire to position it onto the
contacts (2).
3. Press the connector with pliers until the shackle (3) is
engaged securely.
The power supply is now connected.
Now attach the main wire (red/blue) running from the sensor to
the fuse holder.
Excess wire length may be cut off.
Make sure no wire is protruding into the passengers
compartment.
The operational safety of the foot controls must not be
restricted!
Do not remove any insulation from the wire!
1. push the wire into the openings (4) of the fuse holder.
2. turn to close the shackle of the fuse holders and press it
with pliers until it is engaged securely.
3. Plug the 5 Ampere fuse into the fuse holder.
The harness belt system will function after the ignition is turned
on.
7.3.3 Wiring of a second SCHROTH asm-autocontrol
harnessbelt system
As described in paragraph 7.3.1 (Current supply wire), it is not
necessary to connect the fuse wire of the second SCHROTH
asm-autocontrol harnessbelt system to the power supply lead
at socket 15 in a vehicle of German manufacture or a similar
socket in another car.
The connection must be made following the instructions in
paragraph 7.3.2, but directly to the main wire (red/blue) of the
first installed harness belt system between its fuse holder and
sensor.
Never connect the fuse wire of the second harness belt
system to the control wire of the first system!
The interaction of both electromagnetic systems may
severely damage other electronic systems of your vehicle.
