Escort MAX Ci Installation Manual page 6

A
Interface
1
Install the Interface under the dash using
supplied zip-ties.
Note:
Do not mount Interface inside vehicle's
engine compartment!
2
Connect black wire (-) to ground, and
red-striped wire (+) to a switched 12-volt
supply. (If ESCORT MAX Ci is left in the "on"
position, it will automatically power on and off
with the ignition).
3
Front Radar Receiver, ShifterMax Bridge Box,
Display and Control Modules, GPS Antenna,
Concealed Alert LED, Radio Mute Cable, and
optional Rear Radar Receiver* all plug into the
Interface.
4
It is recommended that after the Interface is
installed and connected to power, all other
components are plugged in and tested for
proper operation before completing the
installation.
IMPORTANT! When using optional Rear
ShifterMax sensors* ensure DIP switches 3
and 4 are moved down to the REAR
SHIFTER position. See the Interface
illustration on pg 9.
* included with ESCORT MAX Ci 360
B
Front Radar Receiver
1
Determine the best location for the Radar
Receiver. The best location is typically under
the bumper or inside the front grille of the
vehicle. For the best radar performance install
the Radar Receiver flat, horizontally, not on its
side.
2
The included adjustable mounting clamps
can be used to easily secure the Radar Receiver
to the slats in a grille or the edge of an opening.
• To tighten clamp jaws, insert a 9/64" hex
key into the screw on the front of each
clamp and turn clockwise.
• To adjust the angle and remove the clamps,
use the screw on the side of each clamp.
3
Alternatively, you can use the supplied
U-shaped and right-angle mounting brackets.
Mark the mounting location and drill pilot holes
in the vehicle if necessary. It is recommended
that the Radar Receiver is secured to the
brackets first, and then mount the Receiver and
brackets assembly to the vehicle.
4
Slide the heatshrink onto the Radar Receiver
cable then plug into the harness and route the
cable toward the interior of the vehicle. Shrink
the heatshrink onto the inline connector and
secure the cable with zip-ties. Although
waterproof, it is best to locate the inline
connector in a dry area protected from moving
parts, road debris, and hot surfaces such as the
radiator and radiator hoses.
