The Model 908 fits into a dash-panel cutout 

measuring 2

 

¹/

16

” (52mm).

Terminal Assignment 

(see diagram on page 14)

Pin 7 or 8 = B 

Single voltage models:

 Pin 7 to b; Pin 8, open.

Dual voltage models:

 When vehicle voltage is the 

higher voltage of the 2 operating voltages, Pin 8 con-

nects to b; Pin 7, open. When vehicle voltage is 

the lower of the 2 operating voltages, Pin 7 connects to 

b, Pin 8, open.
The discharge indicator uses Pin 7 or 8 for its battery 

state-of-charge measurements. Connection are to be 

made as close as possible to battery to prevent voltage 

drops that will cause errors in discharge indicator 

readings. The connection is not to be switched by the 

vehicle’s keyswitch. 

Pin 5 = Battery –

Connect to battery ground as close to battery   

as possible.
