WARNING !
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.
Terminal Functions:
Terminal A - Input: Battery Positive.
Supplies Outputs 1 and 2 with +12VDC. The Unit should be fused with a user supplied 20 amp. fuse and
wired with #14 AWG wire minimum.
Terminal B - Mode #1: Activated by +12VDC.
Begins flashing of Outputs 1 and 2 in Mode #1 when supplied with +12VDC through a user supplied
switch.
Terminal C - Output 1: 100 Watt (8 amps) Maximum.
Terminal D - Output 2: 100 Watt (8 amps) Maximum.
Terminal E - Steady Burn: Both Outputs ON.
When activated by +12VDC through a user supplied switch, both outputs will turn on simultaneously.
This steady burn feature will override all other features of this unit.
Terminal F - Pause: Both Outputs OFF.
When activated by +12VDC through a user supplied switch, both outputs will turn off simultaneously, as
long as terminal F remains powered. Connect to vehicle low beam circuit to defeat flasher at night. This is
an OPTIONAL connection.
Terminal G - Flash Mode #2.
When activated by +12VDC through a user supplied switch, the unit flashes in pattern #2. This is an
OPTIONAL connection.
Terminal H - To Battery Negative (-).
Provides the unit with ground (earth) to complete the circuit. For best results, connect directly to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery, or in light bar applications, connect to the light bar frame ground
(earth).
