Wiring Instructions
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.
Circuitbreakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or
operated close to their capacity.

WARNING!
This Product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT
stare into light beam at close range.
WARNING! !
1. After installing the Large LED Narrowstik , route the 11-wire cable into the vehicle to where the control head will be mounted.
2. Cut the cable to length and strip back the cable insulation on the 11- wire cable.
3. Connect the red and red/white wires in, the 11- wire cable, to the positive (+12V) side of the battery through a user supplied
15 amp fuse or breakering an 16 gauge minimum wire or larger.
4. Route a minimum 16 gauge black wire to the battery negative ( ground) (earth). Use the 1/4" insulated quickslide located in
control head parts bag and connect the black 16 gauge wire control head.
5. Remove the 14- position terminal plug from the back of the control head. Connect the the remaining wires, in the 11-wire
cable, to the plug as shown in Figure 5, page 5. Connect power to the control head. See control head manual for auxillary
wire functions.
Note: When installing the Large LED Narrowstik as a Front Facing system, or if it is desired to have the cable exit from
the Passenger side, the LED module control wires will be reversed. See Figure 6, page 6, for details.
6. Check all connections for frayed or shorted wires. Insert the plug back into the Narrowstik control head.
Refer to the manual packaged with the 8 Output LED Narrowstik® Controller for detailed
control head wiring, installation and operation instructions.
