Manual for the EHC4 and EHC58

You don´t like to read manuals? We too... However, it will take only 2 minutes of your time to read it and 10
minutes for the installation and you will have more fun with your new EHC :)

We wrote this manual for the EHC4 and the EHC58 models. Just connect the d - sub connector(s) to the
EHC. and screw it gentle. We suggest to fill the connectors with Di-electric grease before of the
installation what helps to prevent the connectors against moisture.

Additional connection cables at the EHC4:
+ 12V Input (red): This is the main cable from the battery to the EHC. A fuse in this line is not necessary but
we suggest to put a 25 Ampere fuse in the main cable cause the internal highside switches can heat up the
epoxy material up to more than 120 degree Celsius in the case of a short circuit, what might result in small
gaps in the potting compound and a lost of water protection.

Ground (black): This cable is connected to the frame. Pls. take care that there is no rust or paint on the
connection.

Comp. Relief (yellow): This output will open the decompression valves if the starter button is be pressed
and the starter solenoid is active.

Starter solenoid (green): This output switches the starter solenoid.

Horn (gray): This output is connected to the horn.

Adjustment of the different functions:
The EHC can be used in most circumstances without any modification. However, you can easily change a
few functions in the EHC without being a software specialist. Hust press the "horn" button while switching on
the ignition switch and you are in the "setup" mode. A one time flash will indicate the first option, what is the
"Show flasher" function. Just press the "right" button if you would like to activate it or the "left" button if you
want to switch off this function. After a press on a direction button you will come imediately to mode 2 what is
indicated with 2 flashes of the turn signals. The following options are possible:

Number of flashes
Mode Left flasher button Right flasher button Describtion
1 x Show flasher Off On
2 emergency flashes when
power on the box
2 x Flasher auto off Off On
The flasher will switch off
after 20 or 40 times
3 x Flasher auto off 20 flashes 40 flashes
Number of repeats when
"Flasher Auto" is on
4 x Brake light mode Only brake light
Brake light / rear light
combination
The rear light will glim with
40 % when the brake light
switch is not pressed
5 x Brake light flasher Off On
The brake light will flash 3
times before it will be
permanent on
6 x Head light off Head light on Head light off

7 x Start / Stop button Start / Stop unsecured Start / Stop secured

will keep your settings after a power off. However, you can change the settings every time you want.

I went with the RIP-II...Easily installed, but wish I'd gone with another set up, to replace the headlight harness. No further issues, to date.

I'll give your thread a bump Franco!:cheers:

My bike had an ESC when I bought it used. Not sure the mileage when it was put in there but for the 6 months it was in my bike it worked flawlessly. No start issues, no speedo going nuts, lights on every time. It was great........

But computers on a chopper? I couldn't live like that. So I gutted it all and old school chopper wired it. But we can't talk about that in this thread :oldnono:

Remove the brain altogether. It can be done. Chopper City Jacksonville, FL did mine. I have the main 40 amp and two 15 amp fuses.

Both of my 04 ridgebacks have wireplus...one been on 8 years no troubles yet..other one been on 6 years no troubles yet....but like i said yet....cluster of bullshit in my opinion but that was the only option that i knew of in 2011...if and when it takes a dump both will have new backbone harness and Axel kit put in them...threatened to do it this winter but just left them alone for now...

Here is what Chopper City did for me. They removed everything and added a simple controller for the brake lights and such. I have had no electrical issues. The battery is a 420 amp lithium ion and Ive had no problems with it since Jan 2019. Now my battery is below my frame, so i an start on my seat.
