WIRING

The next step is to connect the Power, Ground, and Remote wires to your DAC-348. The power wire should run from the mounting location through the vehicle to the battery or power distribution block. Avoid sharp corners, creases, and sharp body parts. When passing through any metal wall (i.e. firewall etc.), a grommet must be used to prevent the wire from chaffing and shorting to ground.

The ground wire should be of the same gauge as the power wire. As a rule of thumb, use as short a length of wire as possible.

Find a location near the DAC that is metal (the floor is ideal) and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area. Be Careful! Inspect the area underneath to be sure you are not drilling into wires, brake or fuel lines, etc. Terminate the wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer (not supplied). We suggest crimping and/or soldering this connection. After the connection is complete, coat the area with silicone or some similar material to

prevent rust from developing.

Cut off excess wire and, using wire strippers, strip the power, ground and remote cables about 1/8 inch. Locate the power, ground, and remote Powerlock connector (supplied). On the top of the connector are three slotted screws. With a small flat-bladed screwdriver, loosen the screws before attempting to insert the cables. After you have inserted the stripped end of each cable into the connector, secure it by tightening the associated screw. Check that each connection is tight. If the wires are secure, the connector may be plugged into the
