Installation:
1. Locate a suitable mounting location. A dry, cool compartment is a good
choice.
2. Position the Core-R module on the proposed mounting location. Using
an awl or similar tool, scribe the mounting surface where the mounting
holes are to be drilled. Make sure that this mounting area allows
sufficient ventilation for the Amplifier module’s air vents.
Caution:Mounting will require drilling, it is absolutely necessary to
make sure that no other vehicle components could be damaged in
the process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before
starting. If damage is likely, select a different mounting location.
3. Remove the module from its mounting area, and using a drill bit sized
for a #8 sheet metal screw, drill a hole in each of the areas scribed in
the previous step.
4. Return the module to its mounting
location and using #8 x 3/4” sheet
metal
screws
(provided),
secure the module onto its
mounting surface. Be
sure to install a #8
internal tooth lock
washer (included) onto
each mounting screw before
mounting the unit.
Wiring:
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that
load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Wires connecting to the Amp/Relay Module have the proper
terminals pre-installed. If the customer needs to re-terminate these
wires for any reason, the proper tool MUST be used to ensure proper
crimping. Use the AMP Pro Crimper II (P/N# 354940-1) with die
#90572-2 for items 6-26 and die #58495-2 for items 30-50. WHELEN
DOES NOT RECOMMEND RETERMINATING ANY OF THE
ANDERSON™ CONNECTORS.
Amp/Relay Module Fuses
For ease of access, all of the amp/relay module fuses are accessible from
outside the case.
Main Power (J3):
1. Route the RED wire to the positive battery terminal and fuse at
10
AMPS
2. Route the BLACK wire to the vehicle’s chassis ground typically adjacent
to the battery.
Programmable Inputs:
There are 3 digital and 4 Analog programmable inputs in the Core-R
system.
Digital Inputs (J3) (Pins 2, 3, 4)
These digital inputs can be configured to detect either a positive or ground
signal.
Analog Inputs and Ignition Sense (J3)
Analog Inputs (Pins 5, 8, 9, 10)
These inputs can detect a varying, analog voltage range. The output
signal line from devices such as a K-9 temperature sensor may be
connected to these inputs.
Ignition Sense (Pin 7)
This input should be wired to an ignition signal and controls when the
Core-R system turns on (when ignition is detected) and when the system
turns off (when ignition line turns off). The Core-R system turning off can
be further configured by programing a Shutdown Delay to keep the system
active after the ignition signal turns off.
Dry Contact Relay (J4)
(See “Hands Free Siren”)
• 15 Amp Max, Fused
• Pin 1 is the Normally Open terminal.
• Pin 2 is the relay’s Common terminal.
• Pin 3 is the Normally Closed terminal.
