Wiring Guidelines for Unterminated Power and
Ground Leads - 4 Pin and MOAC-T
The authorized method for power termination on the Zonar V3™
system is the use of Add-a-Circuit fuse taps. Whenever possible,
use fuse taps for power termination. If, due to the particular
make/model/year of the vehicle being installed, fuse taps cannot
be used then the poke and weave method of termination can be
utilized. All wiring terminations MUST be fused regardless of Add-
a-Fuse tap or poke and weave method of installation.
When installing fuse taps, ensure that the fuse tap seats fully in the
correct location. If another fuse, a relay, or any other object in the
fuse panel prevents the fuse tap from seating fully, relocate the fuse
tap. It is not permissible for the fuse tap to rub or make contact
with other items in the fuse panel. In addition, you must be able to
re-secure the fuse panel cover or door once the fuse tap is installed.
Whenever possible, use an empty location in the fuse panel that
does not have an existing fuse. If it is not possible to use an empty
location, ensure that the existing fuse is placed in the correct location
on the fuse tap. See Fig. 13-1
Whenever it is not possible to utilize Add-a-Circuit fuse taps then
the poke and weave method must be used.
1) First locate the proper wire where the poke and weave method
is to be installed. Strip 3/4” to 1” of insulation from the wire in
the vehicle to be installed. Spread the wire strands apart as
shown. See Fig. 13-2
2) Strip 1” to 1 1/2” of insulation from the wire in the fused link
to be installed. See Fig. 13-3
3) Insert the wire from the fused link into the spread wire in the
vehicle. Wrap around the wire several times. See Fig. 13-4
4) Cover the exposed wires with several wraps of electrical tape
or mastic. Place one wire tie over the electric tape over the
exact location where the wires are 'wrapped' together. Place
another wire tie 1” to 2” from the first wire tie, to secure the two
wires together and as stress relief. See Fig. 13-5
