Product specific electrical connections
Electrical connections from power system
12 V direct current system
Connect the red wire of the power cord to the plus terminal of the battery and the black or blue wire to the minus
terminal. A 15 A main fuse must be installed near the battery on the red plus wire of the power cord. See picture
above.
24 V direct current system
If the device is to receive power from a 24 V system, always connect a charging voltage reducer through a 12 V battery
before connecting the device as shown above.
Without the battery most voltage voltage reducers will not be enough to generate the large amount of current the glow
plug requires.
After the 12 V battery, the connection is the same as in a 12 V system. Note, if using remote wire, the remote wire also
needs connection to 12V, not 24V.
For DC DC 24/12 converter ask recommendation from your local dealer. There are major differences between them,
but typically a converter rated for 25A is required.
Checking the connection
The device consumes the most power when it is starting (glow on). At this time, voltagedrop is at it's highest. During the
glowing phase, the voltage must not fall below 11 V measured at the quick coupling. See picture above. If the voltage is
lower than this, the device may not start.
All wires should to be mounted with smooth bending and equipped with strain relief.
