Wiring Guidelines
The wiring guidelines in this section are for unterminated power and ground leads—4 Pin and
Backbone. The authorized method for power termination on the Zonar V4 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.
Note
: All wiring terminations MUST be fused regardless of Add-a-Fuse tap or poke and weave
method of installation.
Fuse Taps Installation
1. Ensure that the fuse tap seats fully in the correct location.
2. 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 .
3. In addition, you must be able to re-secure the fuse panel cover or door once the fuse tap
is installed.
4. 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 below for an example.
Poke and Weave Installation
Whenever it is not possible to use Add-a-Circuit fuse taps then the poke and weave method
must be used.
1. 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 below.
