6 4 User Manual 4.1 Hardtop operation through interior hardtop switch Lowering and raising of the hardtop can be achieved through operating the hardtop switch in upward (lower) or downward direction (raise) and keep it in that position until the pilot light in the switch comes on. From that moment onwards the EasyRoof will take over and the switch can be released. 4.2 Programming of the behavior of the side windows The behavior of the side windows after finalized hardtop operation is programmable. The settings for lower status or raise status are independently programmable. Setting a new configuration can be achieved by pressing the hardtop switch downwards 3 times within 1,5 seconds. Each of such repetitive operation will shift to the next preset as given in the list beneath the image. There are 4 presets: Windows down, with raised or lowered hardtop ( a single audible signal is given to confirm this setting ) Windows down with lowered hardtop, windows up with raised hardtop ( a double audible signal is given to confirm this setting) Windows up with lowered hardtop, windows down with raised hardtop ( a triple audible signal is given to confirm this setting) Windows up with lowered & raised hardtop ( a quadruple audible signal is given to confirm this setting) Please keep in mind to press the hardtop switch within the 1,5 second time limit in order to shift to the next setting. Attention! The audible signal is replaced by flashing of the pilot light inside the hardtopswitch in the light version! If you want the pilot light to indicate settings in the nochirp version, please connect the red wire of the alarm horn connector to the green/red wire at pin 68 of the MCU! Page 6

7 4.3 Programming of the operating speed limit A new speed limit can be set by operating the hardtop switch 3 times in succession in upward direction ( lower ) during driving. The following must be taken in consideration: If the programming of the speed limit is done while the car is not moving, the original limit of 8 km/h (5mph)is set. If the programming of the speed limit is done during driving, and the speed is between 8 km/h and 80 km/h (50mph), the current driving speed is set as operating speed limit. If the programming of the speed limit is done during driving, and the driving speed exceeds 80 km/h, the maximum value of 80 km/h is set as operating speed limit Default factory setting is 60 km/h(36mph) Please note that the hardtop-switch must be operated 3 times within the time limit of 1,5 seconds. If a setting is programmed successfully, an audible signal is given to confirm (Full Version). 4.4 Hardtop operation through original key remote (not for EasyRoof lite) In order to open the hardtop while the car is parked, press the unlock button of the key remote 3 times within 2,5 seconds. In case of the Chirp-version, every time the buttons of the key remote are pressed, and audible signal is given. (1 time on pressing unlock button, two times on pressing raise button) The hardtop operation starts automatically. If the doors or trunk are not being opened during the hardtop operation, the central lock system is activated after the hardtop has fully opened. In order to close the hardtop, press the lock button on the key remote twice within 2,5 seconds. After the hardtop is closed, the central lock system will be activated. 4.5 Chirp-function through original key remote (only EasyRoof Full Version) In case of the Chirp-version, every time the buttons of the key remote are pressed, and audible signal is given. (1 time on pressing unlock button, two times on pressing lock button). Operating the hardtop switch 3 times in succession in upward direction ( lower ) while ignition is in position ONE, configures the CHIRP-function. If a setting is programmed successfully, an audible signal is given to confirm CHIRP-ON = 5 times or CHIRP-OFF = 2 times. Page 7

8 5 Required tools To install the EasyRoof unit the following tools are required: The pliers from the SLK toolkit for attaching the electrical taps (piggybacks) The miniature screwdriver (included). A small site-cutter to cut the wires 56 and 74 on the controller unit. A knife to strip the isolation from the wires. In case of the EasyRoof Full Version and nochirp: 1 ratchet with socket 7mm, 8mm and 10mm for connection of the ignition cables in the fuse box. 6. A multi-meter to check the connections. (optional) 6 Installation The installation of the nochirp or Full Version are based on the lite version. Therefore, users of the nochirp and Full Version should start here as well. Page 8

9 6.1 Preparations Installation of the lite -version During the installation process of the lite version disconnecting of the battery is not necessary; however, the ignition should NEVER be switched on during installation. The installation takes place in the control unit box next to the battery. To open the control unit box, set the lever in the unlock position and take off the lid of the box. Page 9

10 Here you can see the Main Control Unit N10-3 (further referred to as MCU). The EasyRoof unit will be connected to some of the wires coming from the MCU. In addition, two cables have to be cut. To have better access to the cables, it is advised to cut the existing tie rope. It can be replaced with a new one (supplied) at the end of the installation. Page 10

11 Once the tie rope is cut, one can easily recognize the sets of cables, bundled for each application. In the picture above you can see the cables for the hardtop. Check for the green/white cable to pin 74 of the MCU and cut it in such way, that you are able to still strip 5mm of isolation from the cable, and connect the ST16/2 (blue & green). Page 11

12 Repeat this for the blue/green cable to pin 56 of the MCU. Here you can see how the cable should be stripped of its isolation. Page 12

13 On both wires coming from the MCU, the connectors ST 16/2 need to be fixed. Please take care to fix the green/white cable on the small side of the connector (see picture above). Use the supplied miniature screwdriver to fasten the small screws on the side of the connectors. On the remaining wires the green marked ST16/2 connector should be fixed. In order to check the polarity, simply plug the connectors- the original connection should now be replaced. This is useful if at a certain point you would like to remove the EasyRoof unit. Just plug the connectors and the modification is cancelled. Page 13

14 Now we will proceed fixing the 10-pins, color-coded connection cable of the EasyRoof unit. You will need the waterpump pliers from the SLK toolkit. Start with the black wire from the EasyRoof unit to the green/red wire to pin 68 of the MCU. Page 14

15 With the supplied self-stripping-electrical-taps Scotchlok 558, in contrary to the taps you see in the pictures, the one wire goes in on top and the other from the bottom. Do not cut any wires here; the tap cuts through the isolation of the wires when closed and creates an electrical contact between the inserted wires. Proceed with the brown wire from the EasyRoof unit and connect it with the brown wire from the MCU to pin 77, and the red wire from the EasyRoof unit to the pink/red/black wire from the MCU to pin 58. Again, do not cut any wires. The orange wire from the EasyRoof unit should be fixed to the green/purple wire from pin 29 of the MCU, and the yellow wire from the EasyRoof unit to the white/purple wire of the MCU to pin 28. Page 15

16 The white wire of the EasyRoof unit should not be connected with the Lite Version. In case the Full Version is being installed, and the alarm function is applied, the white cable from the EasyRoof unit should be fixed to the thick blue/brown wire to pin 18 of the MCU. Finally, plug the connectors from the EasyRoof unit to the connectors earlier fixed. Blue to blue, green to green (see picture) and the 10-pin connector to the EasyRoof unit itself (lip in upper position). Put the wires and the EasyRoof unit in the MCU box, replace the tie rope, and close the MCU box. READY! Page 16

17 6.2 Additional instructions for the nochirp -Version To install the nochirp version and the full Version there is another 5-pins connector on the EasyRoof unit. This one needs to be fixed to the KFZ-relay (short-cut of the ignition) and the MCU. The battery MUST be disconnected while working on the fuse-box!! Unlock the fuse box and take off the lid. Page 17

18 Continue to unlock the latches around the frame of the fuse box, and remove the frame. Underneath you ll see two small latches- press them and remove the whole fuse holder. Page 18

19 Beneath the fuse holder the main battery connection is now visible. The connection X4 on the left side is directly connected to the positive connection of the battery. The right connection (X4/18) is ignition position 1 ; in between ignition position 2. On the latter is currently the hardtop control connected. Before we are going to change-over these connections, first we will fix the cable of the KFZ-relay: unscrew the yellow ST16/2 connector from the long wires to the relay, and work the tinned wireends through the rubber seal in the MCU-box. See picture below. Page 19

20 Fix the connector back to the wires (watch polarity), and lead the cable to the fuse box. Use plenty of tie ropes to fix the cable; please make sure that the cable is kept well away from hot engine parts if the isolation of the wires melts, the positive connection of the battery is in direct contact with the ground! This means fire hazard! Page 20

21 On the picture above you can see how to lead the cable into the fuse-box. Please note that for clarifying purposes, the fuse holder is put back in its place. In practice, this is done in a later stage. Beware: Double check NOW that you have disconnected the battery!!! Use ratchet and socket 8 to remove the nut of the middle connection completely. Page 21

22 Now remove find the only pink/red cable with only one wire. In some cases, there are more single wired cables, use the one connected to fuse No. 7. In most occasions, this is the one in the lowest position. Take the wire of the connection-bolt and put back the other cables. Secure the nut. Now remove the nut from the connection on the right side (X4/18) using ratchet and socket 7. Connect the pink/red cable to the connection, as well as the red cable from the relay (marked X4/18) and secure the nut with ratchet and socket 7. Page 22

23 Finally, connect the red cable of the relay (marked X4) with the connection X4 by means of ratchet and socket 10, and put the relay in the fuse box (you can use a tie rope to fix it). Assemble the fuse box, and move to the MCU box. By means of the Scotchlok 558 self-stripping-electrical-taps, the black wire of the 5-pins connector of the EasyRoof unit should be fixed to the black/red wire to pin 57 of the MCU, and the brown wire from the EasyRoof unit to the grey/black wire to pin 55 of the MCU. Page 23

24 Connect the yellow connector of the EasyRoof unit to the yellow connector of the relay. Plug the 5pins connector to the EasyRoof unit, hide the unit in the MCU box, replace the lid, reconnect the battery READY! 6.3 Additional instructions Full Version In case of the Full Version the 12-volt alarm unit should be connected to the red connector of the EasyRoof unit, and the alarm unit fixed in any suitable position by means of the tie ropes READY! Page 24

25 7 Troubleshooting In case the unit is mal-functioning, please open the unit by using a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws, locate the control LED s in the middle of the circuit board, and run the test below. (Best to do this with two persons. The ignition should be in the 2nd position). The LED on the left side should go on whenever the pilot light in the hardtop-switch lights up. The 2nd LED from left side should go on whenever the hardtop-switch is pushed in the raise position. The 3rd LED from left side should go on whenever the hardtop-switch is pushed in the lower position. The 4th LED from left side indicates the speed-pulse; this can only be seen when the car is moving on slow pace. The 4th LED from right side indicates the ABS-pulse. With engine switched of, and ignition in position 2, it should flash approx. 3x per second. The 3rd LED from right side indicates status of interior illumination, in case the white wire from the EasyRoof unit is connected to pin 18 of the MCU. The 2nd LED from right side flashes 4x quickly in case the open button of the keyremote is pressed. The LED completely right side flashes 1x time quickly when the close button of the keyremote is pressed. Page 25
