How the dguard eCall system is installed
The eCall module, the GPS antenna, and the SOS button are securely attached to the motorcycle with a double-sided adhesive pad. This will guarantee that the components are fixed in one position and that false alarms are not caused by the rider’s usual movements.
The module is installed irrespective of location, so it is not important whether it is installed horizontally, vertically or at an angle, provided it is protected from the influence of weather. For example, in can be placed under the fender, under the seat, or underneath the side shrouds. The dguard module has its own power supply via a backup battery so that, in an emergency, it functions independently if the power supply is interrupted. Based on the EU legislation for eCall systems, the backup battery has a service life of 10 years.
The GPS antenna is mounted in an upright and splash-proof position. It is critical that it is not subsequently covered up by metallic parts such as travel cases or by the rider or passenger.
If the green LED light of the SOS button flashes, the dguard module is properly connected to the power supply. The SOS button can be mounted on the left or the right side of the handlebars. It is critical that the button can be reached by and is within the rider’s field of view, in order to simplify operation in the event of an emergency situation.
Calibration is required after installation. During calibration, the sensors in the dguard module detect the exact position and adapt themselves to the motorcycle individually. Your dealer will initiate and calibrate your unit in the dguard service portal.
