Always make certain that you have an accurate
set of dimensions before starting to specify the
UBS components. Accuracy is required to assure
a quality installation with enough wire to reach
without strain and not so much that the excess
makes installation sloppy and prone to damage.
Take care to note any situations that might effect
the system installation such as the presence of
under-carriage sliders and lift gates for example.
Use the Grote catalog to determine the type
and quantity of lights you require. The UBS
System is a perfect complement to our tough,
long-life SuperNova
®
LEDs line. Always refer to
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 108 for regulations and requirements
governing the required number and proper
position of the lamps on the trailer.
As you start this section, it’s important to
determine the ground method you plan to use.
The recommended Plug & Go components in this
section are based upon ground return design. See
Tips and Troubleshooting section.
