Mounting-Controller
Select a reasonably cool, dry, and vibration free location.
The rear cover will probably need to be removed during
set-up in order to make adjustments for speed setting and
gain. You may wish to defer final installation until this is
done.
After completing these adjustments, replace cover. Mount
so that water cannot pool on this cover. Always mount the
controller with the strain relief down. This will prevent
water from entering thru the cable, also place the vent
hole in the bottom of the controller down.
Wiring
See wiring diagram for details of hook-up.
Use #16 wire minimum.
Keep all wiring to the Governor as short as is practical.
Go directly from the controller ground terminal (B of the 8
pin connector) by dedicated wire, to the battery “minus”
terminal. If this cannot be done, for some reason, go by
dedicated wire to a very good engine ground.
A properly functioning engine electrical system will supply
13.5 - 14.8 VDC when the engine is running. If wiring size
is adequate, with good connections and proper grounds,
you will get this reading between the wires terminals A & B
of the 8 pin connector when the Governor is controlling
engine speed. Verify this.
Improper hook-up can damage electronics. Re-check wir-
ing before applying power.
