The Recognised Name In Security
Take care when removing trim panels. If you don’t know how something comes
apart seek advise from someone who does. The “rip, tear and bust” method is not
convivial to quality installations.
Wiring Techniques
-
A
part from making your loom blend into the vehicle it is most
important that, where you interface your security system loom with the vehicle’s
electrical system, you use the correct jointing techniques.
* Never use “Scotch
-
Lock” connectors
-
these clamp
-
o
n type connectors do
not provide a good contact. If using crimp connectors make sure you use the right
typeof crimping tool
-
not pliers. The Standard (AS/NZS 3749.2:1997, 2.5.4.1)
forbids the use of Scotch
-
Locks.
*
The best way to connect the security
system wires to the vehicle is by using the
strip and solder
method, followed by heat shrink or proper looming tape
-
not
Sellotape or packing tape. Yes, you may well laugh but some of the worst
installations seen have been done with such items. Wires shou
ld never be simply
twisted together and taped over, they do not create solid wire connections and you
are only courting disaster.
When soldering your connections make sure that the solder flows right through the
joint
-
not just tacked on. When soldering
onto thick wires, such as power, ignition
and starter wires, make sure you have sufficient heat in your soldering iron to allow
the solder to flow right through the joint.
*
When extending wires, or adding power or earth cables, always use the
appropriate
size cable for the job. If a wire is too thin there is a chance you will
have voltage drop which may affect the performance of the security system. The
longer the cable the larger diameter it will need to be.
*
Where you have to cut into a taped loom to
make your connections make sure
you retape the loom to make it look like factory again.
*
Use fuses, even if they do not come in the kit.
