Engine Compartment Connections

Siren

Mount the siren in the engine compartment away from moving or heat-producing components.  If possible, mount the siren on the
opposite side of the exhaust manifold.  The siren must not be accessible or visible from outside or under the vehicle.  Point the siren
downward to avoid water collection and enhance sound projection.

1. Mount the siren using all three sheet metal screws supplied.
2. Connect the siren’s BLACK wire to the control unit YELLOW wire.

3. Connect the siren’s RED wire to the control unit RED wire.

Op tional Horn Connection

If you choose not to use the standard siren, the yellow wire can be programmed as a horn output and can be connected to the
vehicle’s horn.  This output is negative and can provide up to 2 amps.

RPM Monitoring

See the 

RPM Monitoring Wiring

 section in this  binder.  This connection is only necessary if you do not want BlackJax 4 to start it’s

countdown if the door is opened at high RPM’s.

Final Wiring Connections

Connect the RED wire to the 5amp fuseholder.

Connect the RED/WHITE wire to the 20amp fuseholder.

Attach the two fuseholders to the battery positive cable clamp.
