VISION 1440B INSTALLATION GUIDE
Install ation Tips
Steps Toward a Professional Installation:
•
Secure all electrical contacts so you cannot easily break the connection
by tugging on the wires. Use solder if required, and securely cover all
connections with splice clips, electrical tape, heat shrink tubing and/or
corrugated tubing.
•
Use only a DMM (digital multi-meter) to test leads or take voltage read-
ings. Do not use “test lights” or “logic probes” (“computer-safe test
lights” included) because they draw a large amount of electrical current
that could overload and destroy sensitive circuitry in the vehicle.
•
Manually turn off all lights (such as the dome light) that trigger when
a hatch is opened so you will not run down the battery. If you cannot
manually turn off all the lights, then remove the appropriate fuses and
don’t forget to replace the fuses after your installation is complete.
•
Remember to not lock the keys in the car during your installation!
Leave a door open or roll down a window, just in case.
•
Consult the vehicle owner about where the Status LED, Control Module,
Siren and Sensors should be mounted.

dash, run a thick-gauge wire direct to the battery terminal. Do not dis-
connect the battery, but rather connect to the battery terminal clamps
by removing the appropriate bolts.

use a wire gauge that is at least as big or bigger than the wire you are
extending.
