CABLE SIZING
Below is a table outlining the required cable size for a given cable install length. Always choose a
wire diameter equal to or greater than what is specified below.
WIRING
The wires on the DCC units carry peak high currents of many Amps and it is important to make a
good, low resistance, electrical connection that will not degrade over time. Failure to make a good,
reliable contact may result in breakdown of the wire insulation and cause a short circuit, or worst
case a fire. We recommend that this activity be undertaken by an appropriately trained person.
Crimping provides good mechanical connection; soldering provides a long lasting electrical
connection and forming of the heatshrink will prevent any shorting/ accidental contacts with your
vehicle chassis. As a general rule, avoid blade contacts of any size or colour.
