Wiring Instructions:
IMPORTANT! This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its continued operation
should any other electrical accessory fail.
Notes:
1.
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended
that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement
connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2.
Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage
drop. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving
parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3.
Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and
devices.
4.
Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from
corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5.
Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6.
Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their
capacity.
CAUTION! Disconnect the battery before wiring up the
product, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing and/or
electrical shock.
Connect the red (power) and black (ground) wires from the Matrix
customer supplied in-line, 10A slow blow ATC style fuse. Please note that the fuse holder selected by the customer must also be rated
by its manufacturer to meet or exceed the corresponding fuse ampacity. See Figure 1 for details.
The Matrix
enabled Thin WingMan must also connect back to a central node, such as the Serial Interface Box or Z3 Serial Siren, to
®
establish serial communication with the larger network. Please note, for CAT5 connections the PRI-1 port must always be utilized first, before
additional devices can be connected to the SEC-2 port. See Figure 1 for details.
