STANDARD WIRING DIAGRAM 

 

ƒ

Ensure adequately sized cable is used.

 

ƒ

Ensure the auxiliary battery is properly grounded to a 
common chassis earth point.

 

ƒ

Ensure the SBI ground wire is making good contact 
with the chassis ground point.

 

ƒ

When using fuses make sure that the fuse makes a 
good low resistance connection.

 

ƒ

Fuse/Circuit Breaker ratings are dependent on the type 
of installation and the size of the loads.

WIRING 

1. 

Make sure the auxiliary battery negative is properly 
grounded to the vehicle chassis.

 (1)

2. 

Ground Connection. Connect the Smart Start

®

 SBI 

ground terminal to chassis ground. Remove any paint 
to ensure a good ground connection. 

NOTE:

 A good ground will ensure correct switching 

voltage. 

(2) 

3. 

Select correct Circuit Breaker/Fuse sizes and install at 
battery end of both positive cables. 

(3)

4. 

Connect the cables in the order shown as shown 
below. 

(4,5,6,7)

*When using fuses make sure that the fuse makes a good low resistance connection.  
Circuit Breaker/Fuse ratings are dependent on the type of installation and the size of 
the loads.

LED CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL) 

Connect a wire from the Blue wire of the Smart Start

®

 SBI to the 

positive end of an indicator LED (15 mA limited current draw) or LED/
resistor combination mounted on the vehicle dash.

START ASSIST FEATURE (OPTIONAL)

1. 

Connect a wire from the Blue wire of the Smart Start

®

 SBI to one 

terminal of a momentary push button switch.

2. 

Connect the other terminal of the momentary push button switch to 
the auxiliary battery supply.

To manually operate the Smart Start

®

 SBI, hold the momentary push 

button switch and the Smart Start

®

 SBI will manually operate until the 

switch is released. After about 10 seconds start the vehicle with the 
button still held on. The Smart Start

®

 SBI should now be operational.
