	''Without a proper UDC measurement, the ZombieVerter '''will fail precharge and never go into run mode.'''''		''Without a proper UDC measurement, the ZombieVerter '''will fail precharge and never go into run mode.'''''


			Note the ISA Shunt requires permanent power as it continuously monitors UDC and reports this to the Zombieverter. If powered on with ignition for example, previous UDC readings can affect pre-charge operation.

	A resistor to the 5v needs to be connected to the analogue in pin, 330 ohms in the spec, and R5 needs to be another resistor between analogue in pin and ground. Type 1 connectors should be a 2.7k ohm resistor and type 2 should be 4.7k ohm. Note the charging port may already have this resistor installed.

	Open up the Zombie UI and choose ProxPilot for the function of the analogue in pin. Then start plotting PPVal and then plug in, ~~you can then use this~~ to ~~select your PPThreshold~~. Bare in mind the resistance will vary on the cable plugged in depending on the Amps it can supply.		Open up the Zombie UI and choose ProxPilot for the function of the analogue in pin.

			for proximity pilot spoofing for devices like the outlander OBC, (the leaf stack dose no require this as the charge port interface is dealt with the pdm internally), the zombie needs to detect is a plug has been inserted into the j1772 port to go into charge mod. a pull up resistor is used to interface into one of the zombieverters analogue pins in the diagram below:
