5.1 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.
c 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. 26.) may be purchased from your ARB Air Locker
distributor to suit 1, 2, or 3 switches.
