4. Setup and Installation

The AUXBEAM BB80 switch panel system is designed for multi-position installation and wide application across various vehicles like Jeeps, ATVs, Trucks, Boats, and Golf Carts. Ensure your vehicle's electrical system is within the 12-24V DC input range.

4.1 Mounting the Switch Panel and Control Box

1. Choose a suitable location for the switch panel within your vehicle's cabin, ensuring it is easily accessible and does not obstruct driving.
2. Use the provided mounting brackets and screws to securely attach the switch panel.
3. Select a dry, protected location for the circuit control box, typically under the hood or in a protected compartment. Ensure it is away from excessive heat, moisture, and moving parts.
4. Mount the control box using the appropriate hardware.

4.2 Wiring Connections

Follow the wiring diagram carefully. It is recommended to have this installed by a professional if you are not familiar with vehicle electrical systems.

1. Connect the main power harness from the vehicle's battery to the circuit control box. Ensure the inline fuse is properly installed.
2. Connect the control cable from the switch panel to the circuit control box.
3. For each accessory (e.g., light bar, light cubes, fan), connect its positive wire to the corresponding output terminal on the circuit control box. The control box has 8 circuits with varying fuse ratings (e.g., 30A, 20A, 10A, 5A). Refer to the diagram for specific circuit ratings.
4. Ensure all ground wires from accessories are properly connected to a common ground point on the vehicle chassis.
5. Organize all wiring neatly using the provided zip ties to prevent tangles and potential hazards.

4.3 Customizing Labels

Use the provided 60 universal switch stickers to label each button on your switch panel according to the connected accessory. This helps in quick identification and operation.

5. Operating Instructions

The BB80 switch panel allows you to control up to 8 different accessories with simple push-button operation.

5.1 Basic Operation

1. Press any button on the switch panel to turn the corresponding accessory ON. The button's indicator light will illuminate red.
2. Press the button again to turn the accessory OFF. The indicator light will turn off.

5.2 Memory Function

The switch panel features a memory function. When the vehicle's ignition is turned off and then back on, the switch panel will remember the last state of each accessory (ON or OFF) and restore them accordingly.

5.3 Auto-Dimming Backlight

The blue backlight of the switch panel automatically adjusts its brightness based on ambient light conditions. This feature helps reduce eye strain and enhances driving safety:

• In bright conditions (e.g., daylight), the backlight will be brighter for clear visibility.
• In dark conditions (e.g., tunnels, night driving), the backlight will dim to minimize distraction.

The AUXBEAM BB80 switch panel system is designed with an IP65 waterproof rating, offering protection against dust and low-pressure water jets. Regular maintenance will ensure its longevity and optimal performance.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the switch panel and control box with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspections: Regularly check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or damage. Ensure the control box remains securely mounted.
• Fuse Check: If an accessory stops working, check the corresponding fuse in the circuit control box. Replace blown fuses with new ones of the correct amperage (refer to the circuit ratings in the specifications).

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AUXBEAM BB80 switch panel, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Accessory Not Turning On:
  1. Check if the switch panel button's indicator light is illuminated.
  2. Inspect the wiring connection for the specific accessory at both the control box and the accessory itself.
  3. Check the fuse for the corresponding circuit in the control box. A malfunction indicator light on the control box (Figure 13) will illuminate if a fuse is blown. Replace any blown fuses.
  4. Ensure the main power connection to the control box is secure and receiving power from the vehicle battery.
• Switch Panel Not Responding:
  1. Verify the connection between the switch panel and the control box.
  2. Check the main power supply to the control box.
• Backlight Issues:
  1. Ensure the light sensor on the switch panel is not obstructed.
  2. If the backlight is not functioning at all, check the main power supply.
