The following steps are typical of most installations:
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and find a suitable place inside the vehicle to mount the
Aeromotive Pump Speed Controller (PSC). Make sure the location will accommodate the two 10-24
mounting bolts and will position the wiring clear of any suspension, drivetrain or exhaust components.
Note: The PSC is moisture resistant, but not water proof! Be sure to locate the PSC such that it
will never become wet!
2. Drill two #5 or .206 diameter mounting holes, using the PSC as a template. Securely attach the PSC
to the vehicle using the two provided #10 screws and nuts.
Note:
Route all wires as instructed before making any electrical connections to the PSC. Be sure to route
all electrical wires clear of any suspension, drivetrain or exhaust components! Protect wires from
abrasion and road obstructions or debris.
3. Locate a 12-18V supply for powering the fuel pump. You can use the alternator charging stud or a
pigtail from the starter solenoid. Find a suitable mounting location for the included 30amp circuit
breaker, for maximum circuit protection ensure that the provided 30A circuit breaker is installed as
close to the power source as possible. Using 2 of the self drilling screws mount the circuit breaker.
4. Using the enclosed #10 red wire, route the wire from the power source, to the 30 amp circuit breaker,
then to the PSC “BAT+” Terminal, but do not make any electrical connections yet.
5. Next locate a good clean ground connection on the battery or chassis, using the enclosed #10 black
wire, route the ground wire to the PSC “GND” terminal.
6. Using the #10 red wire, route the wire from the fuel pump positive terminal or lead wire to the “Pump+”
terminal on the PSC.
7. Using the #10 black wire, route the wire from the fuel pump negative terminal or lead wire to the
“GND” terminal on the PSC or to a good clean chassis ground.
8. Referring to the attached wiring schematic, locate your existing Fuel Pump Supply/Control Wire or
Fuel Pump Switch. Using the enclosed #16 red wire, route a lead from your existing Fuel Pump
Supply/Control Wire or Fuel Pump Switch to the PSC “IGN PWR” terminal.
Note: The PSC may be activated by either engine RPM and/or an external switch, only one of these is
necessary to activate the PSC, but both are recommended.
9. Locate a 12VDC positive tach signal, this is usually found on the “-“ terminal of the ignition coil. If you
are using any kind of aftermarket ignition control you must use the tach signal terminal on the
controller. Some newer vehicles will require a tach adapter available through your local speed shop.
Using the enclosed #16 green wire, route the wire from the tach signal source to the PSC “TACH”
terminal.
Note: If using the PSC on a distributorless ignition system, i.e. Ford modular motors or GM LS series motors.
The use of a Tach driver, MSD p/n 8913 or equiv., will be required
Note: Connecting the Manual Override Switch is optional; this switch will allow you to have full pump speed
on demand.
10. If you choose to use the manual override switch, find a convenient location in the passenger
compartment for mounting the switch. Drill a ½” diameter hole and mount the switch.
11. Using the enclosed #16 black wire, route the wire from the PSC “override” terminal to the Manual
Override Switch. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
