Starting the build

The initial step towards achieving success in completing the rest of the build involved securely attaching the Low Voltage Panel Rail to the Low Voltage Panel. This crucial component, known as the Cycle Analyst Rail, serves as the backbone for organizing and connecting various wiring elements of the system. A solid connection here is essential, as it lays the groundwork for effective power management and monitoring throughout the entire setup. Carefully aligning the rail and using the appropriate fasteners is vital to ensure stability and optimal performance as we progress through subsequent stages of the build.

Charge, Key, Pack Relay

In this step, we attached the relays to the board, enabling us to connect it to the distribution board. Each wire is labeled at both ends to indicate its specific destination. We utilized paddle connectors for attaching the wires to the relays and pin connectors for connecting them to the distribution ports.

Buzzer, Alarm Relay, Flasher Unit

The alarm relay has been securely installed to control the buzzer, which sounds when the vehicle is in reverse, alerting nearby pedestrians to its movement. This safety feature is essential in crowded areas. Additionally, the flasher unit, attached with a sturdy clip, operates the turn signals, effectively signaling the driver’s intentions to turn or change lanes. Together, these components enhance the vehicle's safety and operational efficiency.

Day 2

Finished Wiring

On Day 2, we achieved a significant milestone by completing all the wiring. This task required precise handling of both DIN connectors and spade connectors, each of which was fitted onto its respective terminal. The spade connectors, designed for easy connection to the relays, slide on and off smoothly, allowing for efficient adjustments. Meanwhile, the more miniature DIN connectors are snugly inserted into the rail connectors, where they are firmly secured with screws to ensure a reliable connection. The larger DIN connectors, which fit into the angled ports, require a bit of technique; to detach them, one must carefully insert a screwdriver into the colored hole and press down, effectively unlocking the mechanism. This careful process underscores the importance of precision and attention to detail in our wiring work.
