Mounting The Power Supply...
While the ISP8HS Strobe/Halogen power supply will be mounted in the vehicle’s trunk, the instal-
lation technician should keep the following recommendations in mind:
A)
The unit should be mounted on a metal surface to aid heat dissipation. Be sure that this sur-
face is not one that either generates or is exposed to excessive heat during normal operation
of the vehicle.
B)
Do not select a location where the power supply will be exposed to potential damage from
any unsecured or loose equipment in the vehicle.
C)
Be sure the area selected will not allow the ISP8HS to be exposed to water!
D)
When routing the wires, it is important to choose a path that will keep these wires away from
excessive heat and from any vehicle equipment that could compromise the integrity of the
wires (trunk lids, door jams, etc.).
Using appropriately sized wires, connect the power supply to the battery using the wiring dia-
gram on page 7 as a guide. Be sure to include the specified size fuse, keeping in mind that there
should not be more than two feet of wire between the fuse block and the positive battery terminal.
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 bat-
tery” to carry the load!
CAUTION:
As it will be necessary to drill holes into the mounting surface, the installer MUST be
sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process.
Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling begins!
Using the hardware provided, secure the power supply to its mounting surface.
Vehicle preparation...
Note: This section will outline the vehicle preparation procedures for installation of the
FastTrax™ model FTF4
without
the FastTrax model FTT1 Traffic Advisor™ module. If the
FTT1 is present, please refer to the FTT1 installation manual included with the module.
1. Remove the rear seat back, C-pillar covers and headliner from the vehicle.
2. Locate the passenger-side roof support brace. This brace runs from front to back above both
the front and rear doors on both sides of the vehicle. On this brace, locate the first “squared”
opening from the front.
