1 Depending on the vehicle, you may need to use a custom installation extension. Make sure that air can flow freely through the hood. This helps to keep the hood clean. You can detach the surface temperature sensor and air temperature and humidity sensor and install them separately if needed. See 1.1 on the next page. Setup Guide 2 !

Connect the extension cable wires in the Bluetooth module enclosure as shown. 1 Select a suitable location for the Bluetooth module enclosure in the vehicle cabin. 3 Attach the lid to the enclosure. Tighten the cable glands. Attach the enclosure to a suitable location in the vehicle cabin using adhesive tape or other fasteners. Secure the MD30 cable and connector to the vehicle with cable ties. 1 If you have not set up the RoadAI phone app, go to setup.vaisala.ai on the web and follow the instructions. Check also that you have the email from Vaisala RoadAI Support that you have received earlier. 6 4 Route the extension cable from the mobile sensor towards the Bluetooth module enclosure. Route the power cable from the Bluetooth module enclosure next to the vehicle power outlet and connect it. If you use a splitter, connect that first. You can use the existing plug or unscrew the plug, strip the cable and connect the wires. 5 Spreader Preparations and Wirinng Cabling Bluetooth Module Enclosure Configuring Phone System Type 1 Setup: MD30 and Vaisala RoadAI (with phone) 2 Setup Guide GREEN TX BROWN RX PINK + YELLOW GND WHITE - Splitter (optional) Extension cable 8 m (26 ft) Power cable Bluetooth module enclosure Connect last!

In the RoadAI phone app, select the menu. From the menu, select Sensor > Bluetooth pairing. There is a notification about the need to calibrate. Ignore the message, and the phone starts to show measurement data (calibrate later in step 4.1). 4 1 Cabling 3 Select the menu. Select Sensor, and the sensor you just paired. M212169EN-C Pair the mobile phone with the Bluetooth module, which is shown with a serial number. The serial number is marked on the cover of the Bluetooth module enclosure. When paired, select the small arrow to go back. 2 Continue to step 4.1. 5 Install the mobile phone holder on the vehicle dashboard or on the windshield. 6 In the RoadAI menu, select Camera View and verify that the camera has a clear view of the road.

Setup Guide 1 Connect the open-ended extension cable to your vehicle system. The pinout is shown in the table. Cabling and Data Transfer The MD30 interface is described in Vaisala Mobile Detector MD30 Interface Description. For direct data transfer from the mobile sensor to an in-cabin data collection system, implement the MD30 interface. The data is transferred in binary format using RS-232 communication. Preparations 3 Calibration Step 1: Cleaning Surface State Sensor Window 6 4.1 Continue to step 4.1. For the cleaning instructions, see Vaisala Mobile Detector MD30 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Reference Guide). Wire Color RS-232/Power Pink Vin+ White Vin- Yellow GND (RS-232) Green TX (RS-232) Brown RX (RS-232) Clean the hood. 1 Remove the hood by turning it counterclockwise. 2 Apply glass cleaner on the window of the surface state sensor. Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. 3 Attach the hood to the body by turning the hood clockwise 180 degrees. Make sure that the markings in the hood and sensor body are aligned (see next page). 4 Window

Requirement Description Installed on vehicle Mobile sensor placement At a standstill Vehicle position Dry, no condensation Reference plate surface Clean and dry space Conditions, indoors No precipitation or fog Conditions, outdoors 4.1 4 2 Open the reference plate container. Check that the reference plate is clean and dry. If it is not, carefully remove the dirt. 3 Place the reference plate so that the line from the sensor is towards the edge of the container. Check that the mobile sensor is powered and operational (green LED in the mobile sensor is blink- ing). Check that there are no error messages. 5 Depending on your system: - System type 1: In RoadAI phone, go to the menu and select Dry Reference > Plate Reference. - System type 2: Through MD30 interface, give the command SET REFERENCES > PLATE. The adjustment takes typically 30 seconds. If the adjustment was not successful, repeat the procedure. In the RoadAI phone, check possible error messages from Diagnostics. Plate adjustment minimizes the efects caused by diferent installation heights and diferences between individual mobile sensors. Repeat this procedure when changing the installation position. 6 Close the container. M212169EN-C Handle the reference plate with care and keep it clean. Avoid scratching the surface. The reference plate is made of optically reflective material. CAUTION! Before you start, check that the markings in the body and hood are aligned as shown. 1 4.2 !

Requirement Description Installed on vehicle Mobile sensor location Moving Vehicle position Completely dry road surface Surface state Old asphalt; avoid newly laid asphalt Surface condition Prefer asphalt over concrete unless concrete is the most common surface material in the area of interest Surface material Road type adaptation optimizes the operation in the road surface that is representative of the most common surface type in the area of interest. 4.3 Done 8 In the RoadAI phone app, check Diagnostics. Under heading Upload, check that uploading is ongoing. 3 4 Log in to the web app at https://map.vionice.io and check that data is visible. - System type 1: In RoadAI, select Dry Reference > Manual Road Reference. - System type 2: Through MD30 interface, give the command SET ROAD COEFFICIENTS. Option 3 - Factory settings: Road not dry, surface coefcients not known If dry road is not available, use the factory-set surface coefcients until you can do road type adaptation on dry road. Option 2 - Manual input: Recommended when road type adaptation has been done on a similar road surface before and surface coefcients are known. Enter surface coefcients 1 2 Select a location where the road surface type is representative of the most commonly existing surface type in the area of interest. 3 Check that the mobile sensor is report- ing data and there are no errors. 4 - System type 1: In RoadAI phone, select Dry Reference > Road Reference. - System type 2: Through the MD30 interface, give the command SET REFERENCES > ROAD. 5 Drive for a minimum of 30 seconds on dry road. Check possible error messages. When measurement is done, write down the surface coefcients to use later on with option 2: - System type 1: In RoadAI, scroll right in the Sensor View. - System type 2: Read parameters 0x53, 0x54 and 0x55 with command GET PARAMETER. 1 2 Option 1 - Automatic input: Recommended for first-time use of sensor and first adaptation for the specific road surface type. Road type adaptation driving on dry road If the adaptation was not successful, repeat the procedure. In RoadAI phone app, enable Auto-record. RoadAI automati- cally starts recording data when the mobile phone is connect- ed to a charger and stops when charging is disconnected. 1 2 Connect the mobile sensor and mobile phone to the vehicle power outlet. Start the car. Type the 3 values. The adaptation is complete. Verifying RoadAI Operation 5
