Before drilling holes in ANY part of a vehicle, be
sure that both sides of the mounting surface are
clear of parts that could be damaged; such as brake
lines, fuel lines, electrical wiring or other vital
parts.
3. Drill two holes at the previously scribed posi-
tion marks.
4. Secure the control head to the mounting sur-
face with two user-supplied sheet metal screws.
C.
Electrical Connections.
Failure to observe this WARNING may result
in fire, burns or blindness.
If shorted to vehicle frame, high current con-
ductors can cause hazardous sparks result-
ing in electrical fires or molten metal.
If additional cable length is required, splice
the same gauge (or heavier) wire to the leads.
DO NOT connect this system to vehicle bat-
tery until ALL other electrical connections
are made and mounting of all components is
complete.
Verify that no short circuits exist, before con-
necting to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
1. Power Connections.
a. Route the red and black 14-gauge wires to
the power source. Ensure that the power source is capable
of supplying an additional 25-amperes.
b. Connect the black wire to a known good
chassis ground. This connection must be capable of supply-
ing 25-amperes.
c. Do not connect the red wire to the positive
(+) power source terminal at this time.
2. Control Head Connections.
a. Wrap the control cable’s stripped wire
ends with tape and route the cable to the control head
mounting location.
b. See figure 2. Crimp five 1/4" straight
terminals on the cable wire ends and jumper wire combina-
tion.

III. INSTALLATION.
The SignalMaster's circuitry can be damaged, or
destroyed, by static discharge. To prevent ESD,
observe anti-static procedures during installation.
A.
SignalMaster Light Assembly.
Install the light assembly as described in the
instructions packed with the mounting kit.
B.
Control Head.
When installing equipment inside air bag
equipped vehicles, the installer MUST ensure
that the equipment is installed ONLY in areas
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Failure to observe this warning will reduce
the effectiveness of the air bag, damage the
air bag, or potentially damage or dislodge the
equipment, causing serious injury or death to
you or others.
Assemble the control head as shown in figure
1. For proper operation of the unit, the switches must be
installed as shown. To install the control head, proceed as
follows:
NOTE
When selecting a mounting location for the control
head, it is necessary to keep in mind the Signal-
Master’s cable length. Plan wiring and cable rout-
ing before installation.
1. Select a mounting location for the control head
that allows the vehicle and controls to be operated safely at
all times.
2. Use the control head as a template and scribe
two drill position marks at the selected mounting location.
