INSTALLING THE POWER CABLE AND DEPLOYMENT NOTIFICATION ALARM WIRE
2
d. The optional Deployment Notification Alarm will be
connected to the side of the 12 volt Ignition Switch
that lacks power when the switch is turned "off".
Use a voltmeter to determine where this connection
exists. You may need to turn the Ignition Switch "on"
and "off" to verify this connection with the voltmeter.
12 volts should be present at the connection when
the ignition switch is turned to the "on" position and
no voltage should be present when the switch is
turned to the "off" position.
e. Next determine if the Deployment Notification
Alarm Wire is long enough to reach the intended
connection. If additional wire is needed, use a wire
that is no smaller that 12 AWG.

NOTICE:
When properly installed the alarm will
only sound when the ignition key is turned on
when the Talon is not fully retracted.
f. Be sure that the Ignition Switch is turned to the
"off" position. Cut off the sealed end of the green
Deployment Notification Alarm Wire on the Power
Cable and splice it to the 12 AWG minimum gauge
wire, or if there is enough slack in the wire, directly
to the switched side of the Ignition Switch that was
just tested. Use an adhesive filled heat shrink to
waterproof and secure the splice.
g. If an additional wire was used, close the final
connection between the Ignition Switch and the
additional 12 AWG wire and seal with an adhesive
filled heat shrink.
