Installation Procedure/Making Connections
The FiX™ 82 uses removable plugs for making power and signal input
connections. Receptacles in each plug accept up to 16 AWG wire. To attach wires
to the plug, use a small flathead screwdriver to back out the set screws. Strip 1/4
inch (6 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and insert the bare wire into
the receptacle, seating it firmly so that no wire is exposed. While holding each
wire in place, tighten the set screw firmly, taking care not to strip the head of
the screw.
Use caution to ensure correct polarity and wire placement of the Power and
OEM Input connections.
Make sure to observe proper orientation when inserting each plug into
the FiX™ 82. Each plug is keyed to fit in one direction only. When inserted
correctly, the set screws should be facing down.
Use good quality crimp connectors (or solder with heat shrink tubing) when
making connections to a vehicle’s electrical system. Protect all wires from sharp
edges (metal dash frame, firewall, etc.) by carefully routing and securing them,
using grommets and loom where appropriate. Failure to do so may result in a
dangerous short circuit.
