Safety
Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing any of the Defender systems or any other electronic product.
Route the cables where they will be protected. Use commonly accepted install practices for after market industrial vehicle
electronic devices. The installation of the Defender systems should only be performed by an acknowledged lift truck
dealer technician or end user electro and hydraulic technical installer.
Here are two acceptable methods of making a wire connections:
* Soldering your connections (recommended)
* Crimp connectors (with the use of the proper crimping tool)
Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that the connection is mechanically sound and properly insulated. Use
high quality electrical tape and shrink tubing where necessary.
This product is connected directly to the vehicle’s ignition switch, 12 to 55 V DC. There is no on-off switch on the unit.
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
CE conformity to EC directive 89/336 (EMC) by application of harmonized standards: Interference stability EN 61000-6-2
and EN 61326-1 interference emit EN 61000-6-3, EN 61326-1 for the pressure transducer.
EDI-3 Defender Series
Our policy is one of continuous improvement and the information in this document is subject to change without notice.
Check that software version displayed on LCD is the one applicable for your application.
Overview of components
The standard EDI-3 Defender system consist of digital indicator, wiring harness and mounting bracket. The optional are
the USB memory stick, cellular modem and onboard check weighing system, two independent weighing channels and
custom, parts count by weight and overload visual warning.
Visual Warnings
The standard EDI-3 Defender system shows actual G value in increments of 0.5G on LCD display.

Defender installation precautions
Do not mount Defender indicator to the dashboard plastic surface. The installation on “soft” surface area will act as a
shock absorber and system will not indicate a true impact values.
Selecting the mounting location for Defender
Mount defender indicator in front of the operator . The LCD display of the indicator must be positioned in direction of the
forward travel direction of the vehicle. Digital indicator should be mounted on solid metal surface (dashboard, upper
railing, side railing, etc.). Use Defender metal mounting bracket to fasten the system to the vehicle body. Unit should be
installed in vertical position LCD display facing lift truck forward traveling direction.
Electrical Connections
All stand alone Defender systems operate from 12 to 55 V DC. There are only two wires to be connected to the vehicle.
RED Wire - Ignition switch
Black Wire - Battery negative or vehicle ground

Vehicle Access Control (Valid operator’s ID# required)
Defender systems with optional vehicle access control requiring valid operator ID# will have additional two BLACK wires
that are used to disable vehicle. The internal relay contacts, S.P.S.T. are normaly open and will remain open until a valid
operator ID# is inputed into the system. When system accepts a valid operator ID# the relay contact will close and
remain closed until next time vehicle ignition ( power on /off) switch is turned off.
Note: Relay and traces on PC board can handle maximum of 2 Amps. If you are disabling vehicle at the electrical point
that requires more than 2 A you MUST USE EXTERNAL RELAY. Depending on the vehicle (Electric motor driven or
combustion engine powered vehicle) it is up to qualified service technician to use these two wires to disable the vehicle
operation in the manner that is safe and acceptable by the industry standard. If not sure what is the best way to
disable vehicle, contact the vehicle manufacturer.
Defender automatic calibration function
Defender systems G force settings are re-calibrated automatically every time power is turned on.
Operation
Depending on the model, standard Defender system does not reqiire any input from the lift truck operator. The LCD
display will show time and date when ignition switch is turned on. There are two lift truck impact detection that will be
shown to the operator. The first one is the “LOW impact”, which will be shown to the operator on LCD display. The
second one is the “High impact” which will be shown on LCD display, audio alarm will be activated for 10 seconds and
the event will be recorder on USB memory stick and / or send to Bolero wireless portal for further analysis.
All “High impacts” events will be recorded on Bolero portal, e-mail notification can be send out to designated staff.
All impact events are shown to the operator on LCD display in actual G forces.
Systems without need for Operator ID# Input Systems that requires Operator ID# Input ( Maximum 3 digits )
Operator Input ID# (Any valid ID# from 1 to 999)
Enter valid operator ID# (Max. 3 digits) and press Enter key.

Optional USB Recordings / Wireless Cellular Reporting of “High” Impacts
Defender units equipped with USB port will record start and ﬁnish of the session (Ignition On and Off) and all of the
“Low” and “High impacts” events. With wireless modem all “High” impacts will be recorder on Bolerowireless portal.
Default values for “LOW” and “High” impact detections
Factory default value for “LOW Impact” is 1.5G and for the “HIGH Impact” is 3G.
Default values for “LOW” and “High” impact detections can be changed by the end user
Depending on your equipment type, lifting capacity and operational environment the end user can easily change factory
default impact values for “LOW” and “High” impact events. It should be noted that “LOW” impact value of 1G or 1.5 G is
recommended for majority of operational facilities.
It’s only a visual warning to the operator when vehicles are used in “rough” manner.
