Installation Instructions

6 Installation requirements
6.1 Installation location
In order to meet the BCM requirements for temperature, vibration and dustproof
and waterproof, UAES recommends installing the BCM in the cockpit (do not install
in the engine compartment). If the OEM wants to install the BCM in another location,
the installation location should be evaluated by the UAES engineer and the OEM’s
engineer. At the same time, in order to ensure the reliability of the BCM work, the
engineers of the OEM should consider the installation point of the BCM on the
vehicle and the design of the accessories related to its assembly to meet the
vibration requirements of the BCM. The installation position of the BCM, the direction
of the harness, and the surrounding environment are not allowed to be changed
once the two parties confirm it (for example, other controllers are installed near the
BCM), otherwise the BCM performance cannot be guaranteed.
For BCM assembly layout design engineers should consider the following
installation location selection principles：
1. The BCM should be installed with the connector facing down and at an angle
to the vertical position to prevent water from flowing in from the connector, causing a
short circuit in the connector.
2. The installation of BCM should try to avoid places where dust is easy to
accumulate. A large amount of dust accumulation will affect the reliability of BCM
work.
3. The BCM should be installed as far as possible from the position where the
temperature of the casing itself may exceed 70 °C, and the surrounding parts should
be prevented from releasing heat to radiate heat to the BCM;
4. The BCM shall be placed where the electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference caused by other components of the BCM and its wiring harness is
minimal;
5. BCM assembly in the cockpit should be firm and reliable, no looseness;
