The control box has a 3-amp breaker that protects its electronic components. Be sure to observe the correct
polarity. The control box will not operate if hooked up with reverse polarity.
The injection pump is protected by the helicopter circuit breaker. The injection pump will work, but at a
greatly reduced volume, if hooked up with reverse polarity.
1.
Connect power input wires (red is positive, black is negative) to a 28-volt direct current power
supply, protected by a 10-amp breaker (20-amp breaker for HL series Sacksafoam only). In this
case, 28-volts is the nominal charging voltage on a 24-volt system.
2.
Depending on the model, mount the control box in the appropriate location (the standard model
can be mounted in a convenient location, the console model must be mounted on the console).
3.
Connect the nine-pin plug to the socket on the back of the control box (pin 1 is positive, pin 2 is
negative).
4.
Place the Sacksafoam unit inside the helicopter and remove the lid. Ensure that the lid is stored
securely or removed completely from the helicopter.
