5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Kohree 4-in-1 Charger Socket Panel:
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a flat, secure surface in your vehicle (RV, boat, car, truck) that can accommodate the panel. The panel dimensions are approximately 4.1 inches (width) by 3.4 inches (height).
- Prepare Mounting Hole: Carefully cut an opening in the chosen location. It is recommended to create a template based on the panel's dimensions for a precise fit. Ensure there is sufficient clearance behind the panel for wiring.
- Modular Assembly (if needed): If you wish to rearrange the modules, gently push them out from the back of the panel frame and reinsert them into your desired configuration.
- Wiring:
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on each module.
- Connect the positive (+) wires from your 12V-24V power source to the positive terminals of the USB Charger, Voltmeter, and Switch.
- Connect the negative (-) wires from your power source to the negative terminals of the USB Charger, Voltmeter, and Switch.
- The Cigarette Lighter Socket typically shares the same power input as the other components.
- Ensure all connections are secure, crimped properly, and insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Secure the Panel: Insert the assembled panel into the prepared opening. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the panel firmly to the surface.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery power. Turn on the rocker switch and verify that the voltmeter displays the correct voltage and that the USB ports and cigarette lighter socket are functional.
