Wiring Instructions:
Notes:
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended that terminal
blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g., 3M
Scotchlock type connectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop.
High ambient temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All wiring
should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces.
Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion
and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will “false trip” when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
Important:
Disconnect the battery before wiring up the bar.
The 5135 series Blaze2 minibar is designed to operate on a 12
or 24 VDC negative ground system. Use 18 AWG (UL 1015)
or larger wires. If the wire is to be exposed to a high tempera-
ture environment, use 18 AWG (UL 3265 grade min.) type wire.
Connect the black lead to the vehicle chassis, or preferably the
negative terminal of the battery. Bring the red lead to the user supplied
control switch, and then to the battery or to the battery side of the starter
solenoid or alternator. Install a 12 Amp 3AG SLO-BLO fuse to protect the
vehicle’s wiring system against shorts.
Note: This safety device must
be connected to a separate, fused power point. Do not wire in paral-
lel with any other accessory.
See Figure 3. The belt drive will rotate in
a clockwise direction (when looking down on the unit from above).

Maintenance:
Clean the lens and base with soap and water, or a lens polish us-
ing a soft cloth.
WARNING!
Lamps are extremely hot! Allow to cool completely before
attempting to remove. Gloves and eye protection should be
worn when handling halogen lamps as they are pressurized and
accidental breakage can result in flying glass.
!
Bulb Replacement:
1. Remove the two (2) lens screws at either end of the base, and
remove the lens.
2. Remove and replace the bulb, ECCO P/N R5812BH for 12 volt units,
and R5824BH for 24 volt units.
Do Not touch the glass portion of
the bulb.
Use clean gloves, replacement bulb bag, finger cots, etc.,
to prevent hand oil from contaminating the bulb, causing failure.
3. Replace the lens.

Return to ECCO
Trouble Shooting:
Note:
Operating the vehicle without the lens installed on this product
will result in damage that will not be covered under warranty.
