when mounted in hot environments or
operated close to their capacity. Do not use
1/4" dia. glass fuses as they are not suitable
for continuous duty in sizes above 15 amps.
4) Connect the black wire to vehicle chassis
(earth).
Larger wires and tight connections (crimp
connectors perform poorly over time) will
provide longer service life for components. It
is highly recommended that terminal blocks
or soldered connections be used with shrink
tubing to protect the connections. Do not use
insulation displacement connectors (e.g. 3M®
Scotchlock type connectors). Route wiring
using grommets and sealant when passing
through compartment walls. Minimize the
number of splices to reduce voltage drop.
High ambient temperatures (e.g. under hood)
will significantly reduce the current carrying
capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers.
Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartments.

Introduction
The 416 Switchbox is a 6 switch control center
without circuit breakers. The model 426 is the same
6 switch control center protected by 3 circuit breakers.
The 426 also offers backlighting as standard
equipment. Backlighting is optional on the 416.
Procedure
Wiring Instructions:
1) The installer needs to first determine the
current load in amps of each of the devices
to be switched by the Switchbox.
2) Connect the devices to the desired switch,
noting the current limitations of each switch
and group of switches.
3) An 8 gauge wire should be run from the
Red 8 gauge Switchbox input wire to a
user supplied fuse, then to the (+) side of
the battery, the alternator, or the stud on
the battery side of the solenoid. The user
supplied fuse should be located as close
to the battery as possible and sized to
125% of the total load carried by the
Switchbox (i.e.: if the total load carried is
40 amps; 40 amps x 125% = 50 amp fuse).
A circuit breaker is not recommended
here, they are very sensitive to high
ambient temperatures and will false trip
