1.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The base vehicle has been tested and certified
to all relevant legislation relating to
Electromagnetic Compatibility. All retrofitted
equipment must also comply with the relevant
legislation.
In addition, 2-way radio communication and other
equipment with built in radio transmitters (for
example anti-theft alarms, tracking devices)
should only be fitted to the vehicle if they operate
within the listed frequency bands and do not
exceed the maximum transmission output power
specified below

1.6.1 Antenna Location
The antenna can be placed on the roof of the
vehicle with the exception of cellular phone car
kits which transmit power below 2W. Such low
power devices may also be installed at the
bottom of the A-pillar behind the trim or on the
front windscreen.
Installation must be performed by suitably
qualified personnel in accordance with the
equipment manufacturer's installation instructions
and comply with the ISO technical specification
ISO/TS 21609: Road Vehicles - Electromagnetic
Compatibility guidelines for the installation of after
market radio frequency transmitting equipment.
In addition, the following guidelines must be
followed during installation:
•Do not mount any transceiver, microphones,
speakers or any other item in the deployment
path of the airbag system.
•Do not attach antenna cables to any part of
the original vehicle wiring or fuel and brake
pipes.
•Antenna and power cables must be a
minimum of 100mm from any electronic
modules and airbags.
•Make sure that any additional power feed is
taken directly from the SVO fuse box (when
available) or a recommended connection
point.
•Power and ground cables should be of higher
current capacity that the protection fuse.
Ground feed must be taken directly to the
battery.
Post installation checks must be made for
disturbances from and to all electrical equipment
in the vehicle both in the standby and transmit
modes. Checks should be carried out with the
ignition ON, engine running and be followed by a
road test at various speeds.

4.13.3 Customer Connection Points
Fuse Locations in Pre Fuse Box (Lid Removed) for Customer Connection Points
With the exception of M1 and M2 Buses, the
vehicle is provided with 3 customer connection
points, at the rear of the driver’s seat, which are
fitted with a red cover. Each connection point is
individually protected by a 60A fuse, located in
the Pre-Fuse Box (PFB). With a dual battery
system, these are connected to the non-start
relevant battery.
Refer to: 4.4 Battery and Cables (page 98).
CAUTION: When connecting to the
customer connection points, it is
advisable to disconnect the battery
ground so as to avoid a short circuit.
The fixing torque (M5) is 3.5–4.5 Nm.
NOTE: Do not exceed the 60A per fuse rating.
Where the load exceeds the above ratings (which
can be combined to provide 180A), a separate
take-off is possible directly from the battery clamp
/ post (the non-start-relevant battery for twin
battery systems), although this is not
recommended. In such cases, suitable in-line
protection needs to be included as part of the
added circuit, for example:- for tipper and tail-lift
motors.

The configuration of the Auxiliary Fuse Box is
hard wired (as shown in Figure E75088) Auxiliary
devices should be connected via the 16-way
connector C1. Most fuse / relay configurations
are available to meet particular requirements.
A maximum of 60 A is permitted per power feed,
with maximum individual fused circuits of up to
20 A.
There are 10 possible fuse locations in the fuse
box. Please refer to the following table (Fuse
Location), which shows how the fuses are
divided between the two power feeds.

The Special Vehicle Option Auxiliary Fuse Box,
with integrated link harness, will provide the
following connections:
•– Ground
•– Battery +
•– Ignition
•– Engine run
•– Switched interior illumination
The fuse box is connected to the vehicle main
battery(s) but when the deep cycle battery is
installed it is always connected to the deep cycle
battery.
4.13.5 Additional Ignition,
Instrument Panel Illumination and
Air Conditioning On Signals
Access to these feeds can be obtained via a
jumper harness (6C1V-14A411-*) that fits into the
8-pin in-line connector between the instrument
panel (14K024) and heater (18B518) harnesses
located behind the glove-box. This jumper will
provide the following signals through three, single
6.3mm colour-coded connectors, please refer
to Fig. E75089 Heater jumper for illumination,
ignition and air conditioning on access.

harness that provides roof-mounted rear turn
indicators, powered via relays. This should be
used in conjunction with SVO fusebox.
3.Chassis cab LED rear lamp cluster
replacement recommendations, especially
turn indicator relay implications – see lighting
load table. Generally the use of LED equivalent
lighting systems reduces the electrical load on
the vehicle; however, special care needs to
be taken with respect to any change to or
addition of turn indicator lights. Depending on
the current requirements of the LED(s)
compared to the bulb it is replacing, a ballast
resistor may be required, if not already
integrated into the LED lamp assembly.
Without this, bulb outage detection for turn
indicators will be affected, which is a legal
requirement.
Additional turn indicators must be powered
through relays (max 300mA), driven by existing
turn lights. The maximum load that the Central
Junction Box can drive is 3 x 21W per side (front,
rear and CAT 6 turn indicators); but even if the
vehicle is not fitted with the CAT 6 lights, the feeds
for these should not be used as the Central
Junction Box would need reconfiguring, which
could have safety as well as functional
implications.
4.Special Vehicle Option beacon switch: wiring
locations, circuit diagrams and max amperage
– see Special Vehicle Option fuse box
schematic (max current is 15A); there is
provision for the Special Vehicle Option beacon
switch in an empty switch location on the
instrument panel.
5.Rear loom connector detail location and supply
details for retro-fit loom extension for
example:- when extending a medium wheel
base, long wheel base or extended frame
overhang, what connectors do they use to
make a plug and play loom extension? – for
chassis cab vehicles, there is an Special
Vehicle Option extension loom for rear lamps
(part number 6C1V-14408-A*). There is not, at
present, a similar loom for Van, Bus and
Kombi's, although the appropriate mating
connector is now tooled, so this would be
possible.
Miscellaneous Systems
Handbrake on - Cluster Warning Light -
Unless the vehicle is specified with options that
drive the handbrake warning light (for example
ESP, Australia market), the components making
up this system are not fitted. We do not
recommend installation of this feature as an
aftermarket addition. There are several reasons
for this:
1.Not all circuits carry the requisite wire as a give
away:
•The wires might be part of the main vehicle
harness (14401) even if not used – for example
camper vehicles are normally ordered with
power mirrors, and the wires will be present
as a give-away.
•The seat pedestal harness (14K076), however,
is vehicle specific – if the handbrake is not part
of the specification, it will not be present or
give-away. This harness would need to be
changed to the compatible part that also
includes the handbrake warning light circuit.
2.The handbrake switch (part number
2F2T-15852-A*) together with its short jumper
harness (6C1T-15K857-A*) would need to be
obtained and fitted.
3.The handbrake warning light is in all clusters,
but unless the vehicle config. parameter
“parking brake switch” is set, the Central
Junction Box will not read this input, and hence
NO CAN message sent to the cluster.
Reconfiguration can only be done at a Ford
Dealer.
NOTE: If a vehicle already has a handbrake
warning light in the cluster, or one is installed as
per the Ford design, it is not possible to utilize the
wire from the handbrake switch as part of an
interlock circuit (this is a pull up resistor input that
provides a wetting current of 20mA – anything in
excess of this, for example through additional
circuitry, will almost certainly damage the Central
Junction Box). If there is no handbrake switch
installed, it would be possible to add one and
utilize this as part of a separate circuit, up to a
maximum current of 500mA through the switch.
Reverse Sensors (Rear Park Aid
Module)- The factory-fit option is a CAN-based
system, but for Van, Bus, and Kombi vehicles
only. Stand-alone systems can be installed (for
example for chassis cab conversions), but would
need to utilize the PTA line of the radio if muting
is required.
Fuel Fired Heater (FFH)- Add FFH: wiring is
only present (give-away) in certain harnesses.
There was an aftermarket kit available for this
system on current Transit, which could probably
be “updated” to suit V347/8.
Fuel Fired Heater (FFH) - Programmable
FFH: this utilizes a timer/control module mounted
to the Instrument Panel, which necessitates
having the correct Instrument Panel harness
fitted. Retrofit of this would be a difficult.
For both systems, the appropriate 6C1T-14K132
harness would be required (suffix -A* for
Programmable FFH, and suffix –B* for Add FFH).
Central Locking
Locking is controlled by the Central Junction Box
module. There is current sensing on certain
locking circuit pins as part of the security system
– if these are tampered with, locking cannot be
guaranteed.
