FIRETECH CAN/LIN HiViz Connect Wiring User Guide

Socket contact: Strip the wire with your wire strippers just enough so that it will fit inside the socket contact. Ensure that none of the wires inside were nicked or broken off.

BASIC COMPONENTS NEEDED

COMPONENTS

OMEN Warning Lightbar
HVC Guardian Perimeter Lights
HVC Zone Modules or OMEN Beacons/Half Beacons
CAN Wiring Components (see next page for more)

NOTE:

Tighten screws by hand/screwdriver. Power-tools can cause an insecure attachment and damage.

WIRING TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED

Installation

Kit HPN: P-FT-J1939-FULLTRUCKKIT

For installation of OMEN warning lightbar with HVC perimeter lights.

Kit HPN: P-DT06-3S-KIT

Additional J1939 CAN plug kits (if needed).

Order MPN from your supplier of choice or HPN from Hiviz. Kits may include generic alternatives. Deutsch or Amphenol products can be used.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Figure A: Visual of which traditional twisted shielded CAN conductors should be inserted into the proper A, B, and C slots of the plugs.

Figure B: When assembling the CAN system you will see that the Y receptacle connector will have compatibility with triangle wedge lock plugs and a circle wedge lock plug. The triangle wedge lock connectors should be used with the CAN backbone and the terminating resistors. The circle wedge lock connector should be used with the CAN wires coming off of the OMEN and HVC Zone Modules.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE DEUTSCH CONNECTORS

WARNING: TURN OFF POWER BEFORE WIRING

Strip the wire with your wire strippers just enough so that it will fit inside the socket contact. Ensure that none of the wires inside were nicked or broken off.

Insert the wire into the socket contact and ensure there are no stray wires sticking out from the socket. You want to see the wires from the hole in the side of the socket. Make sure you don’t have wire exposed at the bottom of the socket as well.

Once you have done the above steps: crimp the socket contact onto the stripped wire per your crimp tool’s instructions.

Insert the socket contact with attached wire into the rear of the Deutsch connector (see Figures A and B for proper layout). Push until a click is heard and felt. A slight tug will confirm it is in place.

Once all contacts are in place, the wedge lock may be inserted by hand. Press until it clicks into place. The arrow on the wedge lock should point towards the exterior locking mechanism.

Insert the assembled plug into the correct receiving section of the Y Receiver.

NOTE: Use blank sealing plugs (PN A114017) for any holes not used to keep water from entering the connectors. These are available through waytekwire.com and other suppliers.

THINGS TO KNOW

If you have multiple OMENs in the front two cab zones you can choose any one OMEN side module to connect your perimeter lights to as long as it is in the same zone as your perimeter lights (see Figure D below).

All HVC perimeter lights must be tied to the LIN network in their zone.
They should be bussed together like a traditional sync wire would.
Each zone must have some form of zone module to allow system communication. Zone modules can either be integrated or external:
- Integrated: OMEN side modules/beacons double as zone modules and are most commonly used to communicate with the “driver cab” and “passenger cab” zones.
- External: In body zones where no OMEN side modules/beacons exist, an additional HVC Zone Module is required per zone (typically 2 per truck).

WIRING TROUBLESHOOTING

Check for any missing wedge locks.

Check to make sure the sockets are all the way seated and latched before wedge locks are installed, a small tug on the wire should confirm.
Check to make sure sealing plugs are installed to any open holes in the connectors, if they are not installed water gets inside and kills the connection.
Check to make sure your sockets haven’t been crimped too tight, if they are crimped too tight it will break the wire off in the terminal contact.

Check to make sure your twisted shielded CAN wires are all in their correct seats in the plugs (see figure A on page 4 for details).

PROGRAMMING – FIELD SUPPORT TOOL

FireTech “Smart” products like our HiViz Connect warning lights and OMEN warning lightbar are all programmable. Currently the system in programmed using a product called the Field Support Tool, this tool allows you to configure these products as well as install software updates as they become available. This tool is also extremely helpful in diagnosing problem areas, even connecting back to the HiViz engineering team to “talk to your truck” and see exactly what sort of messages are being sent/received by the lighting system. Future software updates will enable bluetooth functionality on all fixtures and this tool will be replaced by a bluetooth mobile app for most customers.

This tool is NOT required to use our systems, only to configure it. As such, training is required and this tool is restricted to dealers, OEMs, and up-fitter partners who are in good standing with HiViz. If you are an end-user looking to make updates to your system, contact HiViz and our team will provide more information about shipping a loaner field support tool or scheduling a visit from a qualified HiViz smart product technician.
