4.1 Mounting the Actuator Switch(es)
The ARB compressor switch (supplied) and Air Locker actuator switch(es) can be easily
panel mounted inside the vehicle in a 21mm x 36.5mm [0.83” x 1.44”] rectangular cutout.
NOTE : Air Locker actuator switches described here are supplied with each ARB Air
Locker kit and NOT with the ARB compressor kit. If you require switches to
complete the installation then contact your ARB Air Locker distributor.
HINT : Only attach the cover plate to the face of the switch once the switch has
been mounted and wired correctly as the cover plates are designed to be
difficult to remove.
For reasons of safety and for ease of operation, the Air Locker actuator switch(es) should be
mounted in a location picked to best suit the operator. Make sure you have taken the
following points into consideration:
F Switch(es) MUST be mounted and should never be allowed to simply dangle from the
wiring loom during vehicle use.
F Switch(es) should be within easy reach of the driver. Ideally, any Air Locker switch
should be able to be operated without physical effort or distraction to the driver.
(compressor switch location is not critical)
F Switch(es) should be mounted within the line of sight of the driver so that switch position
(‘ON’ or ‘OFF’) can be visually determined by the rocker position and the illumination
state.
F The position of the switch(es) should best eliminate any possibility of accidental operation
by the driver or one of the passengers.
F Switch cutout position(s) must be located in an area with a minimum of 50mm [2”] of
clearance behind the face of the cutout.
F Switch(es) should not be mounted where they will be exposed to water (e.g., in the lower
section of an inner door panel).
F ARB recommends that you apply the Air Locker Warning Sticker (ARB part # 210101
supplied with Air Locker kit) within close visual proximity of the switch location.
NOTE : If no adequate position can be found on existing dashboard panels, a
surface mounted bracket (Fig. 8.) may be purchased from your ARB Air
Locker distributor to suit 1, 2, or 3 switches.
