Detailed wiring diagram showing connections for the control box and switch panel.
The control box features labeled outputs and malfunction indicator lights for easy identification and troubleshooting. Each circuit has a specific amperage rating: Circuit 1 (30A), Circuit 2 (20A), Circuit 3 (10A), and Circuit 4 (5A). If an LED is red, the corresponding fuse is bad and needs replacement.
Mounting Options
The AS-400 switch panel offers flexible installation with both horizontal and vertical placement options, allowing it to fit various vehicle positions. Use the provided mounting brackets and hardware to secure the switch panel and control box.

Operation
Using the Switch Panel
The slim switch panel features four backlit buttons. Press a button to activate or deactivate the connected device. The backlight color and brightness can be customized via the app.
Using the Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote allows for convenient control from a distance. Ensure the remote is within the 200ft operating range. The remote has four numbered buttons corresponding to the four channels on the switch panel. Apply the matching labels to the remote for easy identification.
Using the Auxbeam App
Download the Auxbeam app using the QR codes provided in the manual. Connect your smartphone to the switch panel via Bluetooth. The app allows for:
- Adjusting RGB backlight color and brightness.
- Customizing button icons (over 200 options).
- Setting groups to control multiple lights simultaneously.
- Changing lighting modes (Toggle, Momentary, Pulsed).
Adjusting Brightness
Brightness can be adjusted in three ways:
- MODE Button: Quickly toggle the backlight ON/OFF by pressing the "MODE" button on the switch panel.
- APP Manual Adjustment: Use the brightness slider within the Auxbeam app for precise control.
- Automatic Adjustment: The panel's backlight will automatically brighten in light environments and dim in dark environments for optimal visibility.
Setting Lighting Modes
Each button can be programmed to one of three lighting modes via the app:
- Toggle Mode: For devices that require continuous power (e.g., driving lights).
- Momentary Mode: For devices that activate only while the button is pressed (e.g., horn, momentary air compressor).
- Pulsed Mode: For devices that require a strobe effect (e.g., warning lights).
The panel also features a memory function, retaining the last selected lighting mode for each button.
Applying Labels
The kit includes 60 pieces of matte, reusable, waterproof PVC labels. Choose the appropriate labels for each switch on the panel and the remote control to clearly identify their functions.
Customize your switch panel and remote with the included waterproof labels.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Auxbeam AS-400 switch panel, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the switch panel and control box. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.
- Silicone Cover: The included silicone protective cover helps safeguard the switch panel from dust, rain, fog, and snow. Ensure it is properly fitted, especially in harsh environments, to maintain functionality.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.
- Fuses: The control box has malfunction indicator lights. If an LED is red, it indicates a blown fuse for that circuit. Replace blown fuses with ones of the correct amperage rating (30A, 20A, 10A, 5A) as indicated on the control box.
The silicone cover provides protection against environmental elements.
