When making the ground strap connections make sure lugs are soldered to
the strap ends for trouble free connections. Seal all connection against cor-
rosion. When the length of the ground strap exceeds 18” (457mm) use a
wider strap or a double thick strap.
CAUTION !
DO NOT CONNECT THE MAIN POWER LEAD TO SMALL LEADS THAT ARE
SUPPLYING SOME OTHER DEVICE, SUCH AS A LIGHT BAR OR SIREN. THE
HALE FOAMLOGIX MODELS 3.3, 5.0 AND 6.5 REQUIRE 60 AMP MINIMUM
CURRENT.
Primary Power Supply Connection
Make sure adequate switched electrical power from the battery + terminal to
the battery connection stud on the motor distribution box is provided. (See
Table 3-2: “Primary Power Cable Sizes” on page 55.)
Use 4 AWG minimum type SGX (SAE J1127) battery cable directly to the
battery, battery switch or solenoids for cable runs up to 6’ (1.8 meters) long.
Longer wire runs may require larger battery cable for proper operation. DO
NOT connect power to the same connection as the pump primer.
Display Power Connection
Use 16 AWG minimum type SGX (SAE J1127) wire for the display power
and ground connections. Using the harness provided, Hale p/n: 513-0270-
04-4:
❑ Connect the BLACK wire to a chassis ground stud
❑ Connect the RED wire to a minimum 5 AMP fused dedicated circuit. If a
dedicated circuit is not available, connect to a terminal that has LOW cur-
rent load items, such as ENFO IV, governor and tank level gauge, etc.
❑ Connect this harness to connector C5 on the FoamLogix main harness.
RFI / EMI
A 100% electrically shielded main cable harness is provided with the Hale
FoamLogix system to eliminate the potential problem of RFI / EMI.
Proper installation of system components and cables, along with proper
grounding, limits radio interference caused by the Hale FoamLogix system.
Additionally, make sure radio cables and hardware are not located in the
immediate area where the FoamLogix system is mounted.
