INSTALLATION
Correct installation is critical for trouble free operation of the MPVSR.
Failure to properly install the unit may cause it to not work correctly, and
may also void its warranty. For best results please observe the following
instructions.
Choose a suitable location where the MPVSR can be mounted. Make
sure there is adequate ventilation to allow the unit to dissipate heat, and
try to install it in an area that is not too hot. Engine bays are not ideal, but
if adequately mounted it is an alternative. If mounting in an engine bay,
be sure to shield the unit from heat, dust and water. In other applications,
avoid moisture, dust and high vibration areas.
The unit can be mounted in any orientation (even upside down) but
must be on a hard flat surface. Make sure you maintain at least 5cm of
clearance between the unit and any other objects. Utilise all four mounting
points, using appropriate fasteners for the application. Do not over tighten.
WIRING
It is very important to use the correct cable for your application. If the
cable gauge is too small you will suffer voltage drop, reduced current,
over heating of cabling and general poor performance, even failure. If
you have any doubts, consult the place of purchase for the cable, the
cable manufacturer, or an auto electrician. They will advise you on the
continuous load the cable can carry. This MUST match the load of your
application. Generally, when it comes to cable, bigger is better, and there
is no substitute for good quality cable and terminals.
Make sure the supply current or power is disconnected before connecting
anything to the MPVSR!
It is recommended that you install an inline fuse or circuit breaker as the
load protection. The fuse or circuit breaker should be rated to suit the
application, and should not exceed 150amps or the maximum rating of the
load cable being used.
Connect the required wiring to the control terminals, MAKING SURE TO
USE THE CORRECT POLARITY! Connecting the polarity incorrectly will
damage the unit and it will either need to be repaired or replaced. This is
not covered by warranty. Note; if you do not require an alarm or manual
over-ride switch, you do not need to connect anything to these terminals.
