Installing the Smart Power Switch Power Cable
l
Siren (red)
: The red wire senses whether the siren has been activated
Connect the red wire to a source that provides positive 12-volt switched power when the siren
is activated.
l
Auxiliary (solid blue)
: The solid blue wire senses whether an auxiliary device has been
activated
If an auxiliary device is to be used, connect the solid blue wire to a source that provides positive
12-volt switched power when the auxiliary device is activated, for example, when the driver's
side vehicle door (equipped with a sensor) is opened or an electric release button is pressed on a
shotgun mount.
l
Brake input (black with white stripe)
: The black wire with the white stripe senses
whether the brakes are being applied
Connect the black wire with the white stripe to a positive 12-volt switched power source that is
activated when the brake pedal is applied. (When the brakes are applied, the wire should get 12
volts.)
Tip:
Each of the sense wires in the external inputs cable is labeled with the name
of the external device input it should connect to. If you need to cut the cable (for
example, because it is too long for the space you have), bind the cut labeled ends
together and save them to serve as the key for the connections.
Installing the Smart Power Switch Power Cable
Warning!
Only connect cables when the full installation workflow on
instructs you to. Connecting cables out of sequence can damage components.
When you install the Smart Power Switch power cable, connect it directly to the vehicle battery.
To install the Smart Power Switch power cable:
1. Route the power cable to the battery location.
Important!
Use the firewall holes and grommets provided by the
vehicle manufacturer to route the cable to the battery.
2. Pull the power cable, including any excess cable, toward the vehicle battery, leaving some slack
for a drip loop.
3. Either wind up and tie off or cut the excess power cable.
