NOTE
When selecting a mounting location for the control head,
it is necessary to keep in mind the SignalMaster’s cable
length. Plan wiring and cable routing before installation.
1. Select a mounting location for the control head that
allows the vehicle and controls to be operated safely at all times.
2. Use the control head as a template and scribe two
drill position marks at the selected mounting location.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes in ANY part of a vehicle, be sure
that both sides of the mounting surface are clear of parts
that could be damaged; such as brake lines, fuel lines,
electrical wiring or other vital parts.
3. Drill two holes at the previously scribed position
marks.
4. Secure the control head to the mounting surface
with two user-supplied sheet metal screws.
C.
Electrical Connections.
Failure to observe this WARNING may result in
fire, burns or blindness.
If shorted to vehicle frame, high current conduc-
tors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in elec-
trical fires or molten metal.
If additional cable length is required, splice the
same gauge (or heavier) wire to the leads.
DO NOT connect this system to vehicle battery un-
til ALL other electrical connections are made and
mounting of all components is complete.
Verify that no short circuits exist, before connect-
ing to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
1. Power Connections.
a. Route the red and black 14-gauge wires to the
power source. Ensure that the power source is capable of supplying
an additional 25-amperes.
b. Connect the black wire to a known good chassis
ground. This connection must be capable of supplying 25-amperes.
c.
Do not connect the red wire to the positive (+)
power source terminal at this time.
2. Control Head Connections.
a. Wrap the control cable’s stripped wire ends
with tape and route the cable to the control head mounting loca-
tion.
b. See figure 2. Crimp five 1/4” straight terminals
on the cable wire ends and jumper wire combination.
c.
Connect the terminals on the switch as shown
in figure 2.
3. Turn Signal Connections (optional).
a. Crimp the two right angle terminals on one
end of two user-supplied 22-gauge wires. The wires should be long
enough to route from the light assembly to the right, and left, turn
signal lamp sockets.
b. Remove and retain the three screws which
secure the light assembly end plate at the cable exit end.
c.
Remove the end plate and slide the lens mount-
ing plate out about six-inches.
When connecting the right angle terminals to the con-
nectors, support the circuit board to avoid breaking the
terminals or cracking the printed circuit board.
d. See figure 3. Connect the two right angle termi-
nals to connectors H4 and H5. Note which wire is attached to H4
and to H5.
e.
Slide the lens mounting plate into the extru-
sion. Route the 22-gauge wires through the grommet. Secure the
end plate on the light assembly using the previously removed
screws.
f.
Route each 22-gauge wire to the appropriate
turn signal lamp socket. Connect the wire from H4 to the right
turn signal lamp power wire. Connect the wire from H5 to the left
turn signal lamp power wire.
D.
Inspection and Final Installation.
1. Ensure that there are no loose wire strands or other
bare wires which may cause a short circuit. Also, all wires must
be protected from any sharp edges which could eventually cut
through the insulation.
