Basic instructions before beginning the installation
Quality of connections, location of the device, etc. play a significant role on accurate operation of the
system. Below are some tips and rules for correct installation to attain professional quality and ensure
maximum efficiency of the device.
Mechanical connections
To highest possible extent, cavities in the vehicle should be used for wiring. If you need to make a
new hole, it must be protected against corrosion appropriately!
Wiring connection must be made by brazing, and not merely mechanical wire connection. It is
especially important to protect the connections with insulation for high-resistance atmospheric
conditions. Do not use insulation with unknown resistance parameters.
Efforts should be made to tie the new wiring into the car's standard wiring bales.
