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 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).
