Please refer to the appropriate wiring schematic below for wiring colors and connections:
For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. This fused circuit requires a user supplied 10 Amp maximum time delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of the battery positive (+) terminal.
The VX power supplies listed above are sealed per IPXX. Usage in areas where moisture can affect the power supply connections should be avoided. The power supply should be mounted in a dry location within the vehicle or placed in a suitable protective enclosure.
For installation by trained service personnel only.
Risk of ignition or explosion. Explosive gas mixture may be vented from battery. Work only in well ventilated area. Avoid creating arcs and sparks at battery terminals.
