INSTALLATION
& OPERATION
MANUAL
Introduction
The Rocker Max Pak TM Switchbox is a 4 or 5 switch control center protected by 2 circuit breakers and 4 or 5 fuses, relative
to the model ordered.
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 Rocker
Max Pak 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, and a 10 gauge wire should be run
from the Red/Black 10 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 Rocker Max Pack 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 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) The white/black wire powers the backlighting, connect it to (+) 12 volt ignition switched circuit. Connect the black
wire to vehicle chassis (earth).
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high
current wires 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. underhood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of
wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartment. All wiring should
conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be
protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar
installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and
properly sized to protect the wiring and devices. Particular attention should be paid to the
location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from
corrosion and loss of conductivity. Ground terminations should only be made to substantial
chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of the maximum Amp capacity in the
supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp fuse should carry a
maximum of 24 Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT
SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very
sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated
close to their capacity.
Read all instructions and warnings before installing and using.
