Instructions for Mounting, Wiring and Programming 

 

IMPORTANT! To ensure proper installation installers are required to have a good understanding 

of automotive electronic, systems and procedures for proper installation. When you are drilling 

into the vehicle's surfaces, ensure that the area is free of any electrical wires, vehicle upholstery, 

fuel lines, etc. that could be damaged. All wiring passing through drilled holes should use 

grommets and silicone sealant to prevent wire or moisture damage when passing through 

compartment walls. 

WARNING! Larger wires and secure or tight connections will ensure longer service life for your 

product. It is highly recommended that soldered connections have heat shrink used to protect 

the connection. Special attention should be given to the location and method of splicing wires 

to make electrical connections to protect these splices from lost power or connection and 

corrosion. Insulation displacement connectors are not to be used. To reduce voltage drop, 

minimize the number of splices in the wires. The current carrying capacity of wires and fuses will 

be significantly reduced under high ambient temperature (e.g. under the hood). Use SXL type 

wire in the engine compartment where higher heat resistance is required according to SAE J-

1128. All wires should be in accordance with the minimum wire size and other recommendations 

made by the manufacturer and be protected from hot surfaces and moving parts. Grommets, 

cable ties, looms, and other installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all 

wiring. Fuses should be properly sized and located as close to the power take off points as 

possible to protect the wiring and device.  To protect against short circuits, a fuse is included by 

STL for all products. Do NOT use a fuse with a higher amp rating than the initial fuse included. 

Do NOT use Circuit Breaks with STL Products. Ground terminations should only be made directly 

to the battery. 

 

 

 

Mounting  

Suction Cup: 

 

Slide mounting screws down the track in the back of the bar. 

 

 

Line up the screws to the appropriate holes in the bracket.

 

 

Secure the bracket using the included nuts.

 

Surface Mount End Caps: 

 

Remove end cap from the bar.

 

 

Replace with the surface mount end cap.
