Mounting the Actuator Switch(es)

Air Locker actuator switch(es) can be easily panel mounted inside the
vehicle in a 21mm x 36.5mm [0.83” x 1.44”] rectangular cutout.

NOTE : Only attach the cover plate to the face of the switch once

the switch has been mounted and wired correctly as the
cover plates are designed to be difficult to remove.


For reasons of safety and for ease of operation, the Air Locker actuator
switch(es) should be mounted in a location picked to best suit the
operator. Make sure you have taken the following points into
consideration:

c Switch(es) MUST be mounted and should never be allowed to simply

dangle from the wiring loom during vehicle use.

c Switch(es) should be within easy reach of the driver. Ideally, any Air

Locker switch should be able to be operated without physical effort or
distraction to the driver. Switch(es) should be mounted within the line
of sight of the driver so that switch position (‘ON’ or ‘OFF’) can be
visually determined by the rocker position and the illumination state.

c The position of the switch(es) should best eliminate any possibility of

accidental operation by the driver or one of the passengers.

c Switch cutout position(s) must be located in an area with a minimum

of 50mm [2”] of clearance behind the face of the cutout

c Switch(es) should not be mounted where they will be exposed to

water (e.g., in the lower section of an inner door panel).

c ARB recommends that you apply the Air Locker warning sticker

(ARB part # 210101) within close visual proximity of the switch
location.

NOTE :

If no adequate position
can be found on existing
dashboard panels, a
surface mounted bracket
(Fig.21.) may be
purchased from your ARB
Air Locker
distributor to
suit 1, 2, or 3 switches.
