Figure 1.
CAUTION
Install the control unit in an adequately ventilated area.
Never install near heater ducts.
NOTE
When selecting a mounting location for the control unit,
it is necessary to keep in mind the SignalMaster
cable length. Plan wiring and cable routing before
installation.
1.
Select a mounting location for the control unit that
allows the vehicle and controls to be operated safely at all times.
2.
Use the mounting bracket 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 mounting bracket to the mounting
surface with two user-supplied, thread-forming, 1/4-20 screws.
C.
Electrical Connections.
WARNING
Failure to observe this WARNING may result in fire,
burns or blindness.
If shorted to vehicle frame, high current conductors can
cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or
molten metal.
DO NOT connect this system to vehicle battery until ALL
other electrical connections are made and mounting of all
components is complete.
Verify that no short circuits exist, before connecting to the
Positive (+) battery terminal.
Figure 2.
The control unit is supplied with a six-position connector
and a eleven-position connector to perform the electrical installa-
tion. User-supplied, 14-gauge red and black wires are required for
the (+) BAT and (-) GND connections on the six-position connector.
User-supplied, 18-gauge red and green wires are required for the
(+) BAT/IGN and CASE GROUND connections on the six-position
connector. In addition, user-supplied 18-gauge wire is used for the
AUX IN and AUX OUT connections. Using figure 2 as a guide,
complete this portion of the installation as follows:
1.
Power Connections.
CAUTION
To avoid damage and ensure proper operation, the red
and black wires MUST be installed in the six-position
connector as shown in figure 3.
a.
Strip 1/4" of insulation off of each wire. See
figure 3. Use small blade screwdriver to depress spring in
connector, insert proper wire and remove screwdriver to release
spring.
b.
Connect the red and black 14-gauge wires to
the connector as shown in figure 3.
c.
Route the red and black 14-gauge wires
through the firewall and toward the battery. Connect the black
wire to a good frame ground near the battery. In most vehicles, a
wire from the negative terminal of the battery is routed and
attached to the body/frame at the fender. This is a convenient
point to connect the 14-gauge black wire. Do not connect the red
wire to the (+) positive terminal at this time.
d.
Connect the 18-gauge red and green wires to
the connector as shown in figure 3.
IMPORTANT
The 18-gauge red wire’s termination point determines
when the directional signal can be activated. When the
wire is attached to a vehicle fuse that is powered when the
ignition switch is in the run or start position, the vehicle’s
ignition switch must be in the run or start position to
operate the directional signal. When the wire is attached
to the vehicle battery, the directional signal can be oper-
ated at any time. Note that the unit draws no current
when in the “off” position.
e.
Select the desired termination point. As
applicable, route the 18-gauge red wire toward the vehicle fuse
