ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

 

Disconnect vehicle battery before making any electrical connections. 

 

 

Electrical connections to the unit are made using a 
removable terminal block plug located on the back.  A 
label on the unit identifies the terminal function.  You 
should install the connector on the unit before wiring.  If 
the unit needs service the connector can be easily 
removed without unwiring the connector. 
The power supply of the unit must be capable of 
delivering peak currents up to 50 amps for adequate 
short circuit protection and reliable operation.  The 
preferred source is directly at the vehicle battery.  The 
unit is internally fused. 
Attach leads by stripping 3/8", inserting into connector 
and clamp by tightening screw.  Make sure the screw is 
tight and the wire can't be pulled out.  

Failure to 

adequately tighten the screw can result in improper 
operation or burning the connector and wire

 

Wire Size and Termination

 - The diagram shows the 

minimum wire size used for each connection, along with 
recommended lead color.  If the wire is longer than 10 ft. 
use the next larger wire size.  Use only high quality 
crimp connectors for installation on the vehicle. 
 

 
 

Auxiliary Input Connection

 - The Auxiliary 

Input allows activation by an external source 
of either the Horn or Man/Phsr function.  The 
adjacent diagram shows three connection 
examples.  See the INSTALLER-
SELECTABLE OPTIONS section for 
programming details. 
NOTE:  Permanent disconnection of the 
vehicle horn is NOT recommended. 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

Cutout Input Connection

 - The Cutout Input turns off any siren 

tone output when activated, and remains off until a control is 
activated or changed.  The adjacent diagram shows two connection 
examples.  See the INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTIONS section 
for programming details.
