Installation Diagram: Connect the negative pole of the original vehicle, connect the battery cathode, and connect the battery positive pole.

  1. Preparation: Ensure your vehicle's engine is off and the ignition is completely powered down. Disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery first for safety.
  2. Identify Components: Familiarize yourself with the main switch unit, auxiliary connecting wires, and remote controls. The main switch has two large terminals for high current connections and smaller wires for control.
  3. Connect Auxiliary Link Line: The auxiliary link line (black cable with two ring terminals) is used to connect the car battery's negative terminal to the switch. Securely attach one end to the negative terminal of the original vehicle's battery.
  4. Connect Switch to Battery: Connect the main unit. The large terminals on the switch are for the main battery circuit. One terminal connects to the vehicle's main negative cable, and the other connects to the battery's negative post. Ensure the red and black control wires from the switch are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery respectively (red to positive, black to negative).
  5. Secure Connections: Tighten all nuts and bolts on the terminals to ensure a firm connection. Use the provided dust caps to cover exposed terminals for protection.
  6. Test Functionality: Once all connections are secure, reconnect the vehicle's battery (if it was fully disconnected). Use the remote control to test the switch's ON/OFF function. The vehicle's electrical system should power on and off as commanded by the remote.
