INSTALLATION
The remote control cable can be ex- tended up to 50 feet if required. Use stan- dard 4 or 6 conductor telephone cable. Use a single length cable with no connectors or
Once the above steps have been com- pleted the unit can be bolted down.
DC Wiring
Two battery cables are provided with the unit. Both are black, the positive cable has a piece of red heat shrink insulation on the end. High current will pass through the DC wiring. All wires must be properly sized and all connections clean and tight.
It is recommended that the battery cables not be lengthened, however, it is possible to extend the cables if necessary. Extension cables must be 00 AWG or the same type of wire supplied with the unit, and the total length for each battery cable must not exceed 10 feet.
Make sure the connections to the ex- tension cables are tight and properly insu- lated. Do not attempt to open the case and replace battery cables.
The negative cable should be con- nected directly to the negative post of the battery bank or the ground side of a current shunt. Do not use the vehicle frame as the negative conductor. Tighten securely.
The positive battery cable must be fused and connected to the positive post of the battery bank, or through a selector switch to one or more battery banks.
A spark may be generated when the final battery connection is made. This is normal and do not be alarmed, however, do not make the final connection in the pres- ence of flammable fumes.
Battery Cable Fusing
A fuse is required by the NEC to pro- tect the battery and cables. The fuse must be installed in the positive battery cable, within 18 inches of the battery.
Recommended Fuse: Littlefuse Class T JLLN This fuse with fuse holder is available from your dealer or Heart Interface.
