Wire Size and Termination
Electrical connections to this unit are made through the green 12-terminal
connector located in the rear of the unit
(See below - Part # CPSS-153)
.
Examine the charts below to determine the proper gauge of the wire to use. Please
review the following recommendations when making your electrical connections:
•
For safety and reliability we highly recommend that you always use both Power
terminals (1 & 2) and both Ground terminals (3 & 4).
•
Use only high quality crimp connectors. Make sure all connections are tight.
•
Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop.
•
Route wiring to prevent wear, overheating, and interference with air bag
deployment.
•
Use grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls.
•
Ground connections should be made
directly to the negative of the vehicle
battery
. Where not possible, only connect to substantial chassis components.
•
Install and check all wiring before connection to vehicle battery.
•
CAUTION: All wires should be rated for at least 125% of their maximum current
load. All wires connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be fused
at the battery for their rated load.
•
Review the charts below that indicate the recommended wire gauge, based
upon the length of the wire run and the current that will pass through the wire.
