Testing the kill switch principle
(Open to stop / Close to stop)
Testing with multimeter
You can test the kill switch principle by connecting a multimeter to
both cables from the existing mechanical kill switch. Make sure the
multimeter is set to measure resistance and that the cord is not
attached to the mechanical kill switch.
Infinite resistance measured:
You have a Open to stop (OS) Kill Switch – Use Blue wire and Grey
wire on the Boat Unit to connect to the two existing kill switch
wires from your engine. See wiring diagram for Open to stop on
page 28.
Close to 0 (zero) resistance:
You have a Close to stop (CS) Kill Switch – Use Orange wire and
Grey wire on the Boat Unit to connect to the two existing kill switch
wires in your boat. See wiring diagram for Close to stop on page
28.

Testing with the existing wires
1.
Make sure the existing kill switch wires are not in contact
after you have cut and stripped the two wires.
2.
Make sure your throttle or gear handle is in neutral position.
You are going to start the engine to check which principle is
used by your engine manufacturer.
3.
Turn the engine ignition switch to ON as you would normally
do when starting the engine.
•
If you have a pull cord, be sure to check if you can stop
the engine by pressing a STOP BUTTON on your
engine. If you do not have a STOP BUTTON on your
engine:
•
In the event that the engine starts when the
existing kill switch wires are not in conductive
contact, and you have pulled the pull cord to
perform normal engine start, you can stop the
engine by reconnecting the wires. Simply by
leading them together on the stripped end of
both wires, where the cable metal is conductive.
WARNING – PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK: Be sure
not to touch the conducting surface on the wires
as these may conduct electricity!
4.
Be sure to perform normal starting procedure when testing,
as described above in point 3.

Yielded result:
•
No engine start:
Switch – Use blue wire and grey wire on the Boat Unit
to connect to the two existing kill switch wires in your
boat. See wiring diagram for Open to stop on page 28.
•
Engine start:
You have a Close to stop (OS) Kill
Switch – Use orange wire and grey wire on the Boat
Unit Cable to connect to the two existing kill switch
wires in your boat. See wiring diagram for Close to stop
on page 28.
You have a Open to stop (OS) Kill
