NOTE: The following information is essential to complete the

installation!!!

This chapter is applicable for AP900C / SL900C only.

The AP900C Cruise Control and SL900C Speed Limiter can switch between two
main operation modes. It will operate in default mode from the vehicle CAN-bus
data and alternatively can operate from the vehicle analogue signals like it’s
predecessor AP800. Refer to the AP900C application list or contact your
distributor to define which operating mode is required for this installation.

Continue the installation as described in chapter 5. The conversion of AP900C /

SL900C from CAN-bus mode to Analogue-mode is described in chapter 6.2.

WIRING HARNESS:

Once you have the location for the electronic module, it is possible to mount the
main wiring harness of the Cruise Control. Use a voltmeter to find the right
connections point in the car.

5.1 Orange wire (IGN Connection, +15)

(AP900 / SL900 / AP900C / SL900C)

Connect the ORANGE wire to a fused Ignition Switched +12V Feed.

NOTE: Check with a Voltmeter that the ignition switch feed you select
supplies a full battery voltage. A suitable location is usually at the fuse box. It is
not recommended to connect this orange wire to vehicle accessory (ACC) power
wire. Make sure that the ignition key is in the off position before making the
connection.

5.2 Green wire (GND Connection, -31)

(AP900 / SL900 / AP900C / SL900C)
Attach the GREEN wire to an existing vehicle ground or a bare metal ground
on the chassis. Most common locations for a central vehicle ground would be at
the left or right-side kick panels.

5.3 Blue + Blue/White (twisted pair, CAN-bus Connections)

(AP900C / SL900C)
Attach the BLUE wire of the twisted pair to an existing vehicle CAN High line.
Attach the BLUE/WHITE wire of the twisted pair to an existing vehicle CAN
Low line. Very often the vehicle CAN lines are present on the DLC (diagnostic
Link Connector): DLC pin 6 – CAN HIGH, DLC pin 14 – CAN LOW. Use the
enclosed two tab-connectors (chapter 1, item 3.6) or use soldering for the
connections to the vehicle CAN lines.

5.4 Purple wire (Neutral Connection)

(AP900, optional for AP900C)

NOTE: Optional the purple wire can be connected for vehicle if the clutch
signal is not present on the CAN-bus!
7
The PURPLE wire can be connected in 3 different ways.

A - O.E Clutch switch. Locate the O.E clutch switch. Connect the PURPLE
wire to the wire that goes to ground when the clutch pedal is depressed.

WARNING: CHECK THIS CONNECTION CAREFULLY AS AN

INCORRECT CONNECTION COULD RESULT IN ENGINE
DAMAGE.

B - Neutral or Park lamp (automatic gearbox only). Locate the switch

which detects when the vehicle is in Neutral or Park, Connect the PURPLE
wire to the wire which goes to ground when the Park brake or Neutral is
applied

C - Hand Brake on lamp. Locate the hand brake switch. Connect the
PURPLE wire to the wire which goes to ground when the hand brake is
applied

The cruise control will disengage or will not engage when the PURPLE wire
is taken to ground.

Note: The cruise control will operate normal if the PURPLE wire is not
connected. If no connection is required cut and tape the PURPLE wire.

5.5 Brown wires (Brake Switch Connection)

(AP900 / SL900, optional for AP900C / SL900C) 5.1
NOTE: Not required if the CAN-bus is used! 2
Connect the BROWN wire to the permanent
feed (+30) or ignition switched feed (+15) of the
brake-switch.
Connect the BOWN-WHITE wire to the switch
wire of the brake-switch. This wire should read
the battery voltage (+12V) when the brake pedal
is depressed and zero (0V) when released.

8
Digital Brake Link connection: for vehicles with a digital brake link connect the
BROWN wire to a permanent ignition switched feed (+15) at another location
(for example fuse-box).

Connect the BOWN-WHITE wire to the wire that supplies voltage to the brake
lights when the brake pedal is pushed. This wire will read ground through the
brake light bulbs when the brake pedal is released and 12 volts when the brake
pedal is pushed. Possible locations for this wire are the sill harnesses to the rear of
the vehicle or fuse box.

NOTE: The BROWN and BROWN-WHITE wires are reversible. However

as a safety feature, if the connections are not made securely and correctly the
cruise will not work.

5.6 Blue wire (Speed Signal Connection)

(AP900 / SL900, optional for AP900C / SL900C)

NOTE: Not required if the CAN-bus is used!

Connect the BLUE wire to a road speed signals wire with a voltage from1.5 volt
to 24 volts and a frequency between 6Hz and 8.5KHz.
Identifying a suitable speed pulse signal.
A. Car Radio. If the car has an ISO connector the speed pulse will be in
chamber 3 pin 1 or 5.
B. Electronic speedometer - rear of the instrument cluster, or loom to
instrument cluster.
C. Gearbox speed sensor- mounted on the gearbox usually has 3 wires. A 12
volt (+15) supply, a Ground and a Signal wire.
D. Engine ECU road speed signal.

9
5.7 Yellow wire RPM / Tacho signal
(AP900 optional for AP900C)

NOTE: Not required if the CAN-bus is used!

If a Road Speed signal (blue wire) is being used on a vehicle with manual gearbox,
over rev protection must be included to prevent damage to the engine. With the
yellow wire connected the cruise control will disengage when the engine is
revving up when the clutch is pressed with engaged cruise control

5.8 Command Module (Fig.5.2)

(AP900 / AP900C, optional for SL900 / SL900C)

A range of command modules is available to offer the most convenient (operating)

solution for each application.

The command module must be mounted at a location, which guarantees safe

operation in all circumstances. Suitable positions are on the dashboard or central
console depending on the command module type.

For SL900 / SL900C the command module is required to perform the setup.
Afterwards it can be used optional. See the user guide for further details.

5.2

NOTE: Place the 8-pole connector on the wiring harness after the
command module is placed on its location and after the wiring harness to routed

16
 Step 2: Drive the car at a speed of 72 Km/Hr or 45 MPH. Press the SET key.
The cruise control will engage. If the cruise control is maintaining the speed
accurate and fluently on the set speed then continue with step 3.

If the cruise control is ‘searching’ which gives the car a nervous behavior or is
losing the set speed then adjust the GAIN value with the SET and RES keys. SET
will increase and RES will decrease the sensitivity of the cruise control. The
GAIN setting range is between level 3 and 14. Pressing the SET key to increase
the GAIN will be responded by one Hi tone beep per count. Pressing the RES key
to decrease the GAIN will be responded by one Low tone beep per count.

Step 3: To save the PPM and GAIN settings, press the BRAKE pedal the
Electronic Module will respond with 2 Hi tone beeps. Exit the SETUP mode by
pressing the BRAKE pedal while pressing the RES key 4 times. See section 6.2.8
to exit SET-UP mode.

If required the following setup/learn procedures can be followed to adjust the

main Cruise Control gain manually to optimize the Cruise Control performance.

6.2.5 Manual GAIN Adjustment Mode (optional)

Low system gain is distinguished by sluggish throttle response when traveling up

or down a hill. The result is excessive speed loss when climbing a hill or cresting
the top. High system gain is distinguished by overactive adjustments and
continuous surging.

Step 1: Enter the manual GAIN adjustment mode. Press and hold the BRAKE
pedal while pressing the RES key 3 times in quick succession. The Electronic
Module will respond with one Low tone beep for each press of the RES key.
Release the BRAKE pedal and the Electronic Module will respond with 3 Hi tone
beeps confirming the manual GAIN adjustment mode. If you hear the incorrect
number of Hi tone beeps, repeat the BRAKE pedal and RES key sequence.

Step 2: To set the GAIN in this mode, drive the car at a convenient speed
over 40Km/Hr and press the SET key to engage the cruise control.

Step 3: The GAIN setting range is between 3 and 14. Pressing the SET key to
increase the GAIN will be responded by one Hi tone beep per count. Pressing the
RES key to decrease the GAIN will be responded by one Low tone beep per
count.

17
Excessive throttle motion indicates the gain is too high. Excessive overshoot of
the final set speed indicates the gain is too low.

Step 4: When the Cruise Control’s response has been adjusted to a

satisfactory level, press the brake pedal to save the GAIN settings. The electronic
module will respond with 3 beeps to confirm the saved settings. See section 6.2.8
to exit SET-UP mode.

6.2.6 Manual Fixed Limit Adjustment Mode (optional)

The Manual Fixed Limit adjustment mode allows programming of an absolute

speed limit. The fixed speed limit will disable the driver from exceeding this
programmed speed limit in all circumstances.

Step 1: Enter the manual fixed limit adjustment mode: Press and hold the
BRAKE pedal while pressing the RES key 4 times in quick succession. The
Electronic Module will respond with one Low tone beep for each press of the
RES key. Release the BRAKE pedal and the Electronic Module will respond with
4 Hi tone beeps confirming the manual fixed limit adjustment mode. If you hear
the incorrect number of Hi tone beeps, repeat the BRAKE pedal and RES key
sequence.

Step 2: To set the LIMIT in this mode, press the SET key to increase the
LIMIT or press the RES key to decrease the LIMIT. The LIMIT setting range is
between 80 Km/Hr and 150 Km/Hr or No Limit. Refer to flow chart (Fig.6.2).

6.2.7 Manual Override / Speed Alert Adjustment Mode (optional)

The Manual Override/Speed Alert adjustment mode allows enabling the

Override function or a Speed Alert function. The override function enables the
driver to ‘override’ a voluntary set speed limit (set by command module). It
will not override a programmed ‘fixed’ speed limit.

Enabling the speed alert will disable the speed limiter function. Also the
programmed Fixed Speed Limit will be disabled. Instead the Speed Alert
will only warn the driver if the programmed speed limit is exceeded, but
will not limit the vehicle speed. The speed alert can be programmed
following the same procedure as described in figure 6.2. Alternatively the
speed alert can also be programmed via the command module after
pressing the ON key for more than 1 second.

Step 1: Enter the manual option adjustment mode. Press and hold the BRAKE
pedal while pressing the RES key 5 times in quick succession. The Electronic

DIAGNOSTIC MODE:

The Cruise Control has an integrated self-diagnostic mode. The self-diagnostic

mode includes three steps test all connections and functions of the Cruise Control.
Check your installation one to verify all connections are secure. Engage the
handbrake and place the gearbox in neutral or park.

To activate the diagnostic mode press and hold the SET key while turning the
vehicle Ignition switch ON. The buzzer will beep as long as you hold the SET key
down. Release the SET key and the buzzer will stop sounding.

If the buzzer comes back ON again within one second, this indicates that one of
the other control inputs is active when it should not be. By process of elimination,
you can determine which control input is not functioning properly and repair the
connection to that input.

Diagnostic step A

The diagnostic mode is provided to test the electrical connections to the Cruise
Control module.
A bicolor diagnostic LED on the Electronic Module functions in this mode all of
the time.
Since visual access to this Module is inconvenient once the module is mounted
under the dash, a temporary diagnostic mode is provided that echoes the ope-
ration of the LED through the audio buzzer.
The LED and buzzer will activate whenever one of the following inputs is
detected:
RED LED / LOW tone beep:
• Set Key
• Res Key
• Coast Key
• ON/OFF Key
• Memory buttons
• PCB button
ORANGE LED / LOW tone beep:

21
 • Brake Pedal
• Neutral Safety Switch
GREEN LED / HIGH tone beep (see diagnostic step B):
• Speed input when in Speed sensing mode
• Tach input when in Tach sensing mode
Any switch (control) input that is active for more than 10 seconds is automatically
locked out to prevent that input from over-riding the detection of another switch
input.

Diagnostic step B

NOTE: Diagnostic step B can only be executed if installation step 6.2.3

Manual Pedal Learning Mode has be completed correctly!
After the connections and functions are tested successfully in diagnostic step A,
the test of operating the throttle pedal can be continued in diagnostic step B.

To enter diagnostic step B switch the ignition off. Then press and hold the SET
key and start the engine. Release the SET key as soon as the engine runs.

Turn the cruise control ON and tap the SET key. The cruise control should now
start to operate/open the throttle valve and the engine revs should increase
accordingly. The throttle can be release instantly by pressing the bake or clutch
pedal, or by moving the automotive gearbox into neutral position or using the by
operating the COAST or ON/OFF key.

Keep the engine running and continue with Diagnostic step C or turn the ignition
key off to exit diagnostic mode.

NOTE: For safety reasons the throttle cannot be operated for more than
66% of it full travel in diagnostic mode!

22
Diagnostic step C

This test is to check the speed signal input. When driving the car on the road, the
speed signal can be checked by the GREEN LED and sounding of the BUZZER
of the electronic module. The GREEN LED will flash and the buzzer will sound
at a rate determined by the pulse frequency of the speed. While driving around 50
Km/Hr, the GREEN LED should flash once per second. Turn the ignition key off,
after the car is stopped, to exit the diagnostic mode.

ROAD TEST:

6
Start your vehicle and turn the speed limit or cruise control on using the
command module ON/OFF button.

To switch the Cruise Control on Press the ON key on the command module
for less than 1 second. The cruise control will respond with 2 low tone beeps
and the light on the command module will illuminate green.

Then driving at around 40 Km/Hr (25MPH) press and release the SET/ACC
button and you should feel the cruise control take over. The lowest speed that
your cruise control will operate is the minimum engage speed, this should be
around 40 Km/Hr (25 MPH). The cruise control should now engage smoothly
and maintain a stable vehicle speed.

To switch the Speed Limiter on Press the ON key on the command module for
more than 1 second. The speed limiter will respond with 1 low and 2 high tone
beeps and the light on the command module will illuminate green.

When the ON/OFF button is pressed more than 1.2 seconds, it sounds three
tone beeps and lights up the green led, which enables the variable speed limit
mode. Then driving at around 40KM/H (25MPH) press and release the
SET/ACC button and you should feel the speed limit control take over. The
lowest speed that your speed limit control will operate is the minimum engage
speed, this should be around 40 KM/H (25 MPH). The speed limit control
should now engage smoothly and let you not over the variable limit speed.

Sensitivity adjustments:

If the cruise control does not engage smoothly or if the cruise control gains or
looses speed while cruising you can make adjustments to the sensitivity
settings of the cruise control. When the cruise control is engaged and gains
speed, acts erratically or seems too responsive, you can decrease the GAIN
factor. If the cruise control loses speed or seems to be sluggish in response
you can increase the GAIN factor.

All the sensitivity settings can be adjusted in SET UP MODE, please refer to
the flowchart (Fig.6.1)

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE:

This section of the manual includes a list of potential problems and a list of
recommended checks to perform to solve these problems.

The LED on the electronic module does not light when

the command module buttons are pressed.
Check the 8-pin command module connector from the electronic module and
make certain that it is connected correctly to the command module.
Check the colour code on the command module connector and make certain
that you have inserted the terminals into the command module correctly. If
these are inserted correctly then check the main electronic module power
supply and earth connection. The Orange wire should have the battery voltage
(+12V) when the ignition is switched on and the Green wire should have earth
at all times.

The LED on the electronic module does not light when

the brake is pressed.
Check that the LED on the electronic module lights up when the command
module buttons are pressed. If not, check the main electronic module power
supply and earth connection. The Orange wire should have the battery voltage
(+12V) when the ignition is switched on and the Green wire should have earth
at all times.

Use a Voltmeter to check the connections to the brake switch. One Brown
wire from the electronic module should be connected to a brake light switch
wire, which is either permanent feed, or an ignition switched feed. The other
Brown wire should be connected between the brake light bulb and the brake
light switch. You will therefore read earth through the brake light bulb when
the brake pedal is not pressed and the battery voltage (+12V) when the brake
pedal is pressed. The two Brown wires are interchangeable. Some brake light
circuits will have an ignition switched feed, so test the wires with the ignition
switch in the ON position.

For safety purposes, the Cruise Control will not work if you have a problem
with the vehicles original brake light circuit. Therefore, test the brake lights
and make certain they are operating correctly.
29
The LED does not flash with a TACH signal input
Incorrect TACH signal. Check the signal using either a voltmeter or an
oscilloscope. Make certain that the peak voltage of the signal is between the
limits of 6v to 250V and in the frequency range of 6Hz-488Hz.

Once you have checked that the TACH signal is correct, test the signal again
at the cruise control electronic module. Place the Red voltmeter lead or
oscilloscope lead on the Yellow wire of the electronic module connector and
the other lead to earth. Make certain you have the same signal at the electronic
module.

If not, check over your connections and check if the Yellow wire is damaged
or broken.

The LED does not flash with a speed signal input

Incorrect Speed signal. Check the speed signal using either a voltmeter or an
oscilloscope. Make certain that the peak voltage of the signal is between the
limits of 1.5v to 24v and is in the frequency range 6Hz to 8.5KHz.

Once you have checked that the Speed signal is correct, test the signal again at
the cruise control electronic module. Place the Red voltmeter lead or the
oscilloscope lead on the Blue wire of the electronic module connector and the
other lead to earth. Make certain you have the same signal at the electronic
module. If not, check over your connections and check if the Blue wire is
damaged or broken.

Can not enter the Setup mode

Check if the speed limit is switched off. Press OFF key and try again.

The car give error codes on the dashboard

CAN settings can be faulty. Follow the AP900C / SL900C SET-UP procedure
at chapter 6.1.
The pedal setup can be faulty. Follow the manual pedal setup procedures 6.2.2,
6.2.3 and 6.2.8.
