*
Secure all looms with cable ties to existing looms or vehicle framework so that
they blend into the car. This
will prevent wires from falling down and becoming
exposed to a would
-
be thief.
*
Also
conceal
and solidly
secure
all security system components so they do not
fall down and become visible to a would
-
be thief, or become a potential safety
hazard. When dril
ling mounting holes remove all swarf from the hole and the vehicle,
and protect holes using recognised anti
-
corrosion treatment.
*
Always verify wiring information you have obtained, from whichever source, with a
multimeter before making connections.
Neve
r “ASSUME” anything
-
it just may
make an “ASS” out of “U” and “ME”.
*
Make sure the power and earth supplies
are good, as the operation and reliability
of the security system depends on this. Many intermittent problems with alarm
systems are due to poor
power and earth supplies.
*
Read the Operator’s Manual; it provides good working knowledge of the security
system. The length of time that an installer will wait on the phone on hold in order to
ask a question that he could have obtained from the manual
is a scientific
phenomenon that we can’t explain.
UNDER THE BONNET
PIN SWITCH
Mounting
-
Mount the bonnet pin switch so that when the bonnet is closed the top
of the switch is hitting a flat surface. If it hits on a sloping surface it may break off or
h
ave intermittent false alarms.
Never mount the switch in a water channel as this will only result in false alarms
every time it rains.
Never mount the switch in a place where it can be accessed from outside the
vehicle.
Wiring
-
Connect a wire, of suffi
cient length to reach into the main cabin, to the
switch using a suitable connector. This wire can be black in colour to blend into the
wiring within the engine bay, or you can cover it with convoluted tubing or looming
tape, which ever best suits.
Route
the wire around the engine bay, following a path which will make it blend in
and not be damaged by heat or moving parts, to the point where it will be passed
through into the cabin area. Secure the loom with black cable ties to the existing
wiring looms.
