Airbagit Air Management - Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Smart Ride Air Management System, AIRBAGIT.COM’s premier flagship product. This
system will meet all of your custom and utility needs and will provide you years of trouble free service. Please
read the installation instructions and tips thoroughly before installing this system. Any deviation from these
instructions can cause damage to the Relay Module and LCD Controller. You are installing a computer system
onto your vehicle and it must be isolated from voltage spikes and feed back as much as today’s computer man-
aged vehicles are. The power, ground and ignition wires need to be solid clean mounts with out any relays in
their paths. Electrical Relays are a source of voltage feedback that can damage and or short out the CPU of the
Relay Module (the brain) of the Smart Ride system. The pre-built system comes with a Diode protected relay for
the compressor. The system has the option of disabling the compressor when the ignition is off so no cut-off
relay in the power circuit will be necessary. We recommend that a disconnect or pull-able fuse be installed in the
+12 volt power supply to the Relay Module. Any time that further electrical work needs to be done on the
vehicle, disconnect the power to the Relay Module before disconnecting the battery. When starting the vehicle,
please allow the system to fully boot up (20 to 30 seconds). Pushing any buttons before the boot process is
finished may cause the system to freeze up (as with any computer). In this case, you will have to ‘reboot’ by
disconnecting the LCD at the barrel connector for at least 10 seconds. We also recommend that you:
Do not run the Smart Ride with the vehicle connected to a battery charger
Do not jump start the vehicle without disconnecting the Smart Ride first
Do not ‘splice’ into any wire harnesses, we have extensions for the pressure senders, height sensors and LCD
connectors
Do isolate the power supply from other high power systems such as Stereos and Alarms
If you are upgrading from a Plug’N’Play or using your own compressor set up and will
be using our system to control the compressor, you will need to upgrade to our
relay or install a Diode (1 amp) in the compressor control line (yellow wire)
The tank pressure sending unit must be installed for proper unit and compressor operation
Occasionally the LCD unit may go blank or read all Zeros (even if you don’t have Height Sensors). If this is the
case, you may have tried to activate the system before boot was complete or you have electrical interference
problems. Rebooting is your first option. If the problem persists, check all of your connections thoroughly. If you
have any questions before installation or problems after installation, please contact us and we will be glad to
assist you.
