3Connector OptionsThe EZ-ELD is shipped with the 9-pin OBD port connector already fitted. Italso has 3 other connector options included in the kit: 6-pin OBDII Light and Medium Duty Vehicles OBDII for Volvo/Mack heavy duty vehicles6 pin Connector9 pin ConnectorEZ-ELD Devicewith 9 pinConnector(Same for 6 pin)Connector)OBDII Volvo/MackHeavy duty vehicleConnectorOBDII Light andMedium Duty VehiclesConnectorEZ-ELD Device with OBDIIVolvo/Mack Connector(Same for OBDII Light andMedium Duty VehiclesConnector)11

3.1Changing the connectorStep 1Gently pull the rubber lock casings on bothsides of the connector outwards.Here you can see the plastic lock inside eachrubber casing.Step 2Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool intothe gap between the plastic lock and thedevice.Ease the plastic lock out, away from the side ofthe device.Do the same for the lock on the other side too.12

Step 3Once both sides are unlocked, unplug thewhite connector from the main body of thedevice by pushing the small white lever onthe cable connector.3.2Inserting the new connectorIn this example we will insert one of theOBDII connectors.Step 1Remove the cap on the new connector toexpose the wires by pulling out therubber lock cases and plastic locks likeyou did before.13

Step 2Take the small white plug wired into theconnector head and plug it into the back of the EZELD device.Step 3Twist the connector once so the wires wrap tosave space.Step 4Place the connector onto the module, pressing theconnectors gently into place.You will hear two clicks when the locks engage.The connector is now ready to use.14

The connector can be mounted in one of two ways by rotating it 180 .or3.3Using the extension cableIf required due to limited space, the main EZ-ELD device can be mountedaway from the On-board diagnostic port.In this example we will insert one of the OBDII connectors.EZ-ELD main deviceExtension CableAdapter cover(top cover not used inthis example)15

Double sidedAdhesive padOBDII ConnectorStep 1Remove the adaptor cover by following the same process you used beforeto unplug the connector from the EZ-ELD device (see section 3.1).Step 2Connect the end of the extension cablewith the smaller female connector onthe shiny lower adaptor cover.Wrap the wires as before.16

Step 3Connect the other larger connector end ofthe extension cable on the cover for theOBDII or 6-pin/9-pin.Twist the wires around.Step 4Plug the end of the extension cable withthe smaller female connector into the mainconnector of the EZ-ELD device.17

Step 5Carefully position the connector on themodule and press gently until you hear twoclicks.Step 6Plug the other larger end of the extensioncable into the OBDII female connector.Step 7Position the connector on the end cap andpress until you hear two clicks.18

It should look like this - the EZ-ELD device has the long cable extensioncoming from it.Step 8Finally, stick the adhesive pad onto thebottom of the module for mounting in thecab.Remove the backing from the adhesive padand then mount the device in a position ofyour choosing.19
