GETTING STARTED
TRIAL FIT AND CHECK THE MAIN CONTROL HUB UNIT
Using your Logic as a portable battery
powered system is straightforward and battery
power automatically turns on when a headset is
connected to either headset lead. The headset
leads coming from the main control hub are long
enough to connect directly to each helmet. To
install 3 AA batteries simply remove the battery
cover by depressing the catch release circle on the
battery cover and sliding the cover downwards.
Take care to install the batteries correctly noting
the positive and negative orientation markings on
the battery tray. To protect the control hub we have
provided reverse polarity protection just in case you
incorrectly fit the batteries, in which case the
system simply will not work. Please remove the
batteries if not using the system for more than a
few days.
If bike powering your Logic (as many customers
do) the power lead will connect to the white 9 pin
connector in the battery compartment and exit
through the small breakaway plastic tongue in the
bottom of the control box. Picture A allowing you to
replace the battery cover.
Before fully installing the Logic main control hub on your bike (or in a tank bag etc), carefully
think it through. There are many ways in which you can install your system but there is usually only
one way which is best for you and/or your bike. It is easy to get carried away and do a complete
installation only to then find problems at the end and not know the cause or how to resolve them. If
you follow these instructions carefully you should avoid (or find and cure) any problems during the
installation, meaning you only need to do it once.
Position the main control hub where you think you would prefer it to go, then trial fit the power and
headset leads, plus any other audio interface leads (and audio devices) to make sure they will all reach
and connect together, and adjust as required. Avoid stretching any cables to their limits to avoid
stressing the connections, always leaving some slack.
Top Tips (2)
Think about cable lengths and where they will run, trying to avoid any sharp edges or seat pressure
points/catches where cables may get trapped or crushed, and areas of potential electrical
interference such as spark plugs and HT lead/coils, and the voltage regulator (normally a metal
finned box bolted to the bikes frame) and areas of high heat such as engine and exhaust systems.
Check with your dealer or our website www.autocom.co.uk for any specific bike installation tips.
Mounting the main control hub under the seat (as most people
do) is normally near the rear light cluster in the tail unit and fixed
down with Velcro to stop it sliding about (but also making it easy to
remove for access if required) (B) The riders lead (longest) will
typically come along the bikes frame under the seat and exit between
the seat and tank (between the riders legs) (C). If required you can
use an optional straight headset extension lead so that it will reach
under the tank and then come out near to the front of the
tank/headstock area. The rider will use an optional straight or coiled
headset extension lead to connect between the riders headset and the
bike mounted socket (providing two safety release points in case of an
emergency or should you ever forget to unplug when leaving the
bike). The passenger lead will normally exit near to the rear of the
seat, (often close to the passenger grab handle where fitted) (D) and
use an optional straight or coiled headset extension lead between the
headset and bike mounted socket.
Top Tips (1)
The Logic main control hub is splash resistant; it is designed NOT to be completely sealed so
as to allow it to breathe. It is however reasonably protected from damp and the odd splash, so
please consider its location carefully in order to help prevent excessive water contamination. For
example, do not position it where water will be forced in under pressure, such as in the front of the
bikes faring, or under a wheel arch etc. Look for locations, such as under the seat or in a tank
bag/pocket or wherever you are sure it will not get soaking wet. Reasonable care should also be
taken when washing the bike, especially if using a jet wash. If you cover the control box with a bag
when washing, remove the bag afterwards to ensure the unit can breathe or you may cause damage
if it is allowed to build up excessive condensation. If you do not feel you can position the main
control unit where it will not get excessively wet, please ask your dealer about the optional water
protector cover.
