Installing ETI Interface on the LCR II Meter V8

Introduction

This document explains how to install the Electronic Truck Interface (ETI) in your vehicle. It assumes that you have a standard LCR-II installation on your vehicle with an Epson printer.

NOTE: The LCR-II register must be set to use node 250 (hex 0xFA) or node 1 for communications. Contact us if you are using a different node for assistance.
