Power connection BXT5.jpg

Power/ IGN (Ignition) / Ground :

  • cradle power (red wire) and IGN (green wire) must be connected to the same power source. This source shall be disconnected when vehicle is off (Key/ IGN OFF), otherwise this could lead to vehicle battery being drained.

  • Cradle ground (black cable) must be connected to the ground corresponding to the power source.

This step is mandatory for any checklist.

  • Discrete outputs (blue and pink wire) can be used to interact with the vehicule.

And activated in the configuration of the ouputs

  • AND

    • Checklist is valid

    • OR a segment interacting with the vehicle is being answered

    • OR Checklist has been answered with only “non critical” questions wrongly answered (until Key off)

Smart display has to be locked in its cradle. We advise cradle to be secured with the provided screws to avoid smart display to be dismounted as smart display is not made to work without its cradle.

STEP 2 - Smart display configuration
  • Smart display shall be set ON by powering the vehicle

  • If smart display link has been performed in the dashboard, the following page will be displayed, asking to fill the checklist. This page allows to check that the vehicle to which smart display is connected is correct

After this step, for a checklist standalone product, the checklist installation on the vehicule is complete.

Warning

  • If smart display has not been linked to a vehicle in the checklist dashboard (see 2.3.1 - checklist configuration => Vehicle management step), an error message will be shown indicating this link must be carried out :
    (the image below for illsutration only - texte is incorrect and will be changed in a future Software version).

image-20240704-133713.png
STEP 3 - Link with Blaxtair Origin

if BXTO is installed on the vehicle (see STEP 1), the following configuration shall be performed:

  • click on the gear (top right corner) to display following screen

image-20240704-135038.png
  • click on “Maintenance”

  • enter password to get to the following screen :

Default password is 5504

image-20240704-135043.png

 to activate link with BXTO, click on “Enable Blaxtair Camera Launch”. By ticking this option :

  • BXTO video will automatically be displayed 10s after successful checklist is filled

  • BXTO video can be displayed 10s after pressing “open camera” button on the smart display home page. This “open camera” button can be used for example on a faulty vehicle to benefit from the BXTO protection.

⚠️ Maintenance page shall be exited before turning off system/ vehicle

Otherwise, maintenance page will remain open / accessible when turning system on again

image-20240704-135050.png

After this step, Checklist + BXTO are ready to be used on the vehicle.

STEP 4 - Options offered in maintenance mode

Reminder : the following page can be accessed after clicking on “Maintenance” in the setting page and by typing related password.

image-20240704-135056.png

 

  • access to Smart display’s Serial Number (displayed on the bottom of the page)

  • “Enable Blaxtair Camera launch” : see step 3

  • Wi-fi configuration - allows to select a Wi-fi network to be connected to - this is usefull for areas with low/ no 4G coverage or for system software update

image-20240704-135101.png
  • Pin code for configuration mode : allows to change standard pwd to enter Maintenance mode

  • Change output state : forces discrete output to high state (to disable vehicle limitations, if any). This allows to manually change the state of the discrete output from Low to High.

⚠️ This works even if option “controlling discrete output” is not ticked in the dashboard

Shall not be used if not connected to the vehicle to avoid risks of power to ground shortcuts

  • Factory reset : empties the smart display’s memory (reports stored in memory). This can be used to force the connection with dashboard to take into account modifications (for example after activating pincode feature)

⚠️ Maintenance page shall be exited before turning off system/ vehicle

Otherwise, maintenance page will remain open / accessible when turning system on again

Connection between dashboard and checklist

It’s important to know when are connections done between checklist and dashboard as an update in the dashboard (change of checklist, etc.) will not be taken into account at other moments. Connection is possible only if network is available (4G/ Wifi) :

  1. At system start (key On), if smart display’s memory is empty (first use or after a “reset to factory” done in maintenance mode

  2. at the sending of a checklist

  3. after pincode has been validated

case of connection loss/ and retrieved :

  • if there’s no connection : updates in the dashboard will not be taken into account by the smart display, reports of the checklist will not be sent

  • when connection is recovered : unsent reports will be sent
