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 displace-
ment 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.
WARNING!
!
It is advisable to leave an extra loop of cable when installing the light bar to allow for future
changes or reinstallations. Connect the black lead to a solid frame ground (earth), preferably, the
(-) or ground (earth) side of the battery, and the remaining power wires to the +12V terminal of the
battery, power switches, siren or RLS controller. Each light head is wired independently to allow
complete flexibility of control.
