Installation Overview:
The SC-12 Core Hub is a combination of a BUS-012 Hub and a SC-12 Core Skipper. It is a
BUS-012 Hub with a SC-12 Core Skipper embedded in it. The SC-12 Core Hub performs
several critical functions; 1) it supplies clean, filtered power to Skip-Line devices, and 2) it is the
communication hub for all Skip-Line products, 3.) it maintains the active skip cycles and holds
essential settings.
An SC-12 Core Hub or SC-12 Core Skipper MUST be properly installed to use the Skip-Line
SC-12 system.
Every vehicle requires at least two BUS-012 hubs (or a BUS-012 Hub and SC-12 Core Hub).
Skip-Line utilizes the proven and reliable CAN bus protocol, which requires two termination
points. The BUS-012 Hub and SC-12 Core Hub acts as those terminal points. Multiple Hubs
work together to create a communications network using CAT5 cables.

Each Hub requires it's own +12V and GROUND connections from a battery source.
Recommended location:
Front Hub (BUS-012):
The recommended location for the BUS-012 Hub labeled "Front Hub" is inside the front
cab of the vehicle. Mount in a location where CAT5 cables can be ran from dash-mounted
accessories. Common locations include inside the front console or on the back wall.
Rear Hub (SC-12 Core Hub):
The recommended location for the BUS-012 Hub labeled "Rear Hub" is inside the center
console or main rear cabinet of the vehicle. Mount in a location where CAT5 cables can be ran
from SC-12 Masters and output boxes.
Mid Hub(s) (BUS-012):
On advanced striping vehicles, mid-hubs are often used. They are not terminated like
Front and Rear Hubs. Place these where convenient (such as in a mid-deck enclosure)
