2. Make sure that the gauge(s) are well grounded to the same
ground as the controller.
Follow these instructions for all installations:
1. Connect the wire from each gauge module to the
corresponding compartment terminal on the back of the
controller.
2.
If there are unused controller compartment channels, connect
a dummy gauge module between the unused compartment
terminal and ground. The RED wire goes to the terminal,
and the green or black wire to ground. This will simulate an
EMPTY condition on the unused compartment.
3.
Connect a controller GROUND terminal to ground. All of
the controller GROUND terminals are internally connected
together.
4.
Connect the controller 12V INPUT terminal to a 12 volt source.
All of the controller 12V INPUT terminals are internally
connected together. This 12 volt source should be an ignition
source so the truck battery is not drained when the truck is off.
Jumper the 12V INPUT to one of the SHUTDOWN terminals.
5.
Locate an electrical shutoff switch (such as the key switch) in
the truck. Break the connection to the switch and connect
the two wire ends to the contact terminals (#30 & #87) of the
auxiliary ESD relay (supplied). Connect one of the auxiliary
ESD relay coil terminals (#86) to ground and the other coil
terminal (#85) to the remaining SHUTDOWN terminal on the
SpillStop controller. It is a good idea to mount the auxiliary
ESD relay close to the existing shutoff wiring to minimize any
extra wire length in the truck shutoff circuit.
6.
Connect the PTO sense relay (supplied) as shown in the wiring
diagram. Use a standard clearance lamp (not supplied) as the
PTO indicator light. The PTO sense relay functions so that the
ESD (Engine Shutdown) relay cannot operate unless the PTO
is engaged. This prevents the engine from being accidentally
shutdown if fluid sloshing occurs and raises the float above
the engine shutdown point.
7. Connect the HORN terminal to the electrical horn switch (or
button).
8.
Program the alarm points in the gauges. Program alarm #1
as SHUT DOWN at the point where the engine should be shut
down. Program alarm #2 as SHUT DOWN at the point where
the horn alarm should come on. Program alarm #3 as SHUT
DOWN at the point where the tank is considered empty. See
the 810PS Shop or 916 manuals for programming details.
