connections in the vehicle. Typically they can be found on the amplifier and are labeled speaker ,-. If
provided, refer to your build sheet for a suggested location.
Once located, test and verify the connection points, note the polarity, and annotate your build sheet with the
location and color of the wires used for use later in ZOLL Online. Route the Brown/Yellow and Grey/Yellow wires
safely using wire loom if needed to their connection points and solder splice the connections. Tape the splice and
secure the wiring.
STEP 15: CONNECTING THE POWER AND GROUND INPUTS
The RS-4000 requires two +12vdc power sources, one connected to a co12vdc source, and one ignition
sw12vdc source. Both must be fuse protected with a 5amp fuse at the point of connection to protect the
vehicle wiring should a short develop.
Locate the solid Red wire in the power/audio harness used for the +12vdc constant input. Locate the solid Blue
wire in the power harness used for the ignition sw12vdc input. Determine your location for making these
connections in the vehicle. Typically they can be found under the steering column in the ignition switch area. If
provided, refer to your build sheet for a suggested location.
Once located, test and verify the connection points, note the polarity, and annotate your build sheet with the
location and color of the wires used. Route the Red and Blue wires safely using wire loom if needed to their
connection points and Inline splice a fuse holder on the end of the Red and the Blue wire before solder splicing the
connections. Tape the splices and secure the wiring.
Caution:
Do not connect any Road Safety ground connections to any existing vehicle connections. The exception
would be a connection to a ground lug or ground bus.
STEP 16: CONNECTING THE CHASSIS GROUNDS
Locate the solid Black wires in the input and power harnesses. These are used for providing the system grounds.
Do not spice into other circuit grounds, find a suitable location, connect the ends of the black wires together, crimp
a terminal lug on to them, and using a self-tapping screw and star washer, connect to the vehicle chassis. Typically
this can be done in close proximity to the RS-4000 mounting location, or under either the passenger or driver’s
seat. If provided, refer to your build sheet for a suggested location. Route the Black wires safely using wire loom if
needed.
Caution:
Do not connect any Road Safety ground connections to any existing vehicle connections. The exception
would be a connection to a ground lug or ground bus.
STEP 17: CONNECTING DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Locate the solid Yellow wire in the input harness used for output one. Locate the solid Orange wire in the input
harness used for output 2. Determine which output will be used for your device and determine a path to its
location in the vehicle. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for connecting to the device. See
for information on connecting a Digital Ally camera system.
Once run and connected, annotate your build sheet with the location and color of the wires used for use later in
ZOLL Online. Route the Yellow and Orange wires safely using wire loom if needed to their connection points and
solder splice the connections, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Tape the splice and secure the wiring.
NOTE:
Digital Outputs are optional. Generally they’re only necessary if another third party device (such as
Digital Ally cameras) require them.
