There is a small groove (keyway) cut into the 
threaded metal section of the switch. This groove 
can be used to decide the orientation of the switch. 
 
Power positions are:

 

 

Switch towards the keyway : Full power 
position

  

 

Switch in the middle : Lower power position

 

  Switch Away from the keyway : Unit is 

turned off (no power gain) 

5)  Toggle Switch Installation and Connection 
     (Optional) 

 

The supplied toggle switch may be installed in any suitable place 
within the vehicle cab. The wires from the switch should be passed 
through the bulkhead using a rubber grommet to seal the hole and 
protect the wires. 
 
Make sure that the switch wires cannot get entangled in any moving 
parts behind the dashboard such as heating controls. 
 
Connect the 2-pin plug on the switch loom to the remaining plug on 
the main loom, which is located at the end nearest to the van Aaken 

SmartBox

 

Secure the wires using the supplied cable ties. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Switch Operation

 

 If 

no switch is connected

 to the van Aaken SmartBox

 F

 

the default setting will be Power 2 – it will give 

maximum extra power all the time. 

  If the included 

3-position switch

 is connected the unit can be switched between Off, Power 1 and Power 2.  

Power 1 will typically give half the gain of Power 2 but this is entirely dependent on the tuning file programmed into 
the unit.  If in doubt about the function of each switch position please contact your SUPPLYING dealer. 

 
 
 

4)  Mounting the Unit 

 

The unit should be mounted on top of the fuse box at the front 
corner of the engine bay. 
 
Fix the unit in place using the supplied self adhesive Velcro. The 
area on the vehicle where the unit is to be attached should be 
thoroughly cleaned first to remove all traces of oil, engine 
lacquer or dirt. 
 
The black 12-pin plug on the van Aaken SmartBox

 C3.2

 

loom 

should be led over to the unit and firmly connected to the plug 
on the van Aaken SmartBox

 C3.2

 

unit so that both catches on 

the sides of the plug are seated into place.   
 
The wire should be secured with cable ties so that it cannot 
touch any hot, moving or sharp objects in the engine bay.
