1) Mark the mounting screw pattern per dimensions in Figure 11.
2) Drill four
∅0.203” (13/64” drill) holes.
3) Secure the unit to the panel with four #10-32 screws with nuts and lock washers (not
supplied). The length of the screws should be the panel thickness plus 3/8” minimum.
4) Place a 1A fuse between the red lead of the transmitter and a switched positive power
lead on the vehicle. Attach the black lead from the monitor base to the vehicle ground.
5) All control functions are sent to the monitor via an encoded RF signal from the
transmitter.
4. 81181501 Water Valve Kit (Optional)
Install the valve inline with the RF monitor. Install power/sensor cable
between RF Receiver/Control Module and valve. The cables should be routed away from
any heat sources, and be protected from sharp corners. It should be tied down securely
to prevent fretting or fraying due to vehicular vibrations. Two cable lengths (five foot
[standard] and 10 feet [optional]) are available for the valve to allow it to be mounted in a
convenient location. Connect the motor power and sensor lead to the valve harness.
