◊ The suggested path for routing cables in vehicles without wiring
troughs is alongside the drive shaft hump, under the carpet.
Guidelines for Electrical Connections
The System is designed to operate in negative ground 9 to 32 Volt DC
electrical systems only. IF using the DC cable lead:
◊ The best power connection point for the positive primary power
leads is the positive terminal of the vehicle battery. Often, direct
connection to the battery is inconvenient, and you may nd it easier
to connect the positive leads to the starter solenoid. Always select
a point as close as possible to the battery.
◊ Connect the negative primary power leads to a good ground point
on the vehicle chassis or at the battery. If you must attach the
negative primary power lead(s) directly to the negative pole of the
battery, you may optionally insert a 10-amp fuse (notincluded) into
the ground (0V) line. Failure to insert a fuse can cause equipment
to overheat IF a wiring fault exists.
◊ Many parts of a vehicle can produce electrical noise that interferes
with the electrical radio system operation. The ignition system is the
most common source of electrical noise interference. Before you
begin installation, ensure that the ignition wiring and connections
to the vehicle battery are in good working condition.
◊ Verify that low resistance connections are present between the
battery negative terminal, the vehicle chassis, and the engine
block. All wire connections should be clean and tight.
