Wiring Requirements
If custom wiring is to be used to power the unit in a +12V application the wire must be rated for 30A and
all 4 INPUT terminals wired. The GSSI cable uses 4 x 12AWG stranded conductors and this should be
suitable for 20 feet of cable length.
General Notes about Vehicle Wiring
It is quite common for several pieces of vehicle-mounted equipment to be interconnected by signal cable
in addition to power connections. GSSI recommends that all equipment use a common ground point. This
will minimize the chances of improper operation or damage occurring due to voltage drops around the
vehicle.
Good practice is to use a fused connection box to supply power to several pieces of equipment. In this
case a large cable is used to bring power to the box and all equipment is powered from the box. This
results in all equipment having a common ground point. Be sure to use a cable capable of handling the
current required by all of the connected equipment.
Never connect/disconnect equipment that is running. This can create sparks that can damage all connected
equipment.
