INSTAL L ATION TIPS
Steps Toward a Professional Installation:
•
Ensure all electrical contacts cannot easily break by tugging on the
wires. We highly recommend the use of optional PosiTap brand con-
nectors for your connections. Do not use solder unless you are expe-
rienced with it, and test your connections, then securely cover with
electrical tape, heat shrink tubing and/or corrugated tubing.
•
Use only a DMM (digital multi-meter) to test leads or take voltage
readings. Do not use “test lights” or “logic probes” (“computer-safe
test lights” included) because they draw a large amount of electrical
current that could overload and destroy sensitive circuitry in the ve-
hicle.
•
Manually turn off all lights (such as the dome light) that illuminate
when a hatch is opened so you will not run down the battery. If you
cannot manually turn off all the lights, then remove the appropriate
fuses and don’t forget to replace the fuses after your installation is
complete.
•
Roll down a window to avoid locking the keys in the car.
•
If you need a co12 volt power source under the dash, splice
off the wire leading to pin-16 (POWER) at back of the vehicle’s OBD
plug. OBD pin-16 supplies a co12V at up to 7A. Alternatively,
run a thick fused wire directly to the vehicle’s battery in the engine
compartment.
•
When running extension wire, always use a wire gauge that is as big
or bigger than the wire you are extending.
Car Battery Tips:
•
Modern car batteries don’t last long. You can expect 2~3 years of us-
able life. Car batteries deteriorate even when not used. A bad battery
can show sudden voltage drops which can cause product malfunction.
•
Always verify your car battery is good when troubleshooting the
SL70VG before returning the product to KIRAMEK.
