3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the switch panel.

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a flat surface on your dashboard, console, or panel that can accommodate the dimensions of the switch panel. Ensure there is sufficient space behind the panel for wiring.
2. Prepare Mounting Hole: Based on the product dimensions, cut an appropriate opening in the chosen mounting surface. Refer to the product size image for precise measurements.
3. Wiring Connections: The panel comes pre-wired. Identify the two main connection lines on the back:
   • Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V/24V DC power source.
   • Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal (ground) of your 12V/24V DC power source.
   Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
4. Connect Devices: Connect the devices you wish to control to the output terminals of the rocker switches. Each switch is a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) type.
5. Secure the Panel: Insert the switch panel into the prepared opening and secure it using the provided screws or mounting hardware.
6. Test Functionality: Once installed, apply power to the panel and test each switch, the USB charger, and verify the voltmeter display.

4. Operating Instructions

The Greluma switch panel is designed for straightforward operation.

• Rocker Switches: Each of the two rocker switches controls an independent circuit. Press the top part of the switch to turn the connected device ON, and the bottom part to turn it OFF. The blue LED backlight on the switch indicates its ON/OFF status.
• Dual USB Charger: The two USB ports provide a combined output of 4.2A (2.1A per port) for charging compatible devices. Simply plug your USB charging cable into one of the ports. The USB charger is active when the panel is powered.
• Digital Voltmeter: The integrated voltmeter displays the current voltage of your 12V/24V DC system. This display is active when the panel receives power, allowing you to monitor your battery's health and prevent issues from low voltage.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Greluma switch panel, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe the panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
• Inspect Wiring: Annually, or as needed, inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or damage. Re-tighten any loose connections and replace damaged wires immediately.
• Check Waterproof Seals: For marine or outdoor applications, periodically check the integrity of the IP65 waterproof seals around the panel to ensure continued protection against water ingress.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not connect devices that exceed the maximum current rating of the switches or the USB charger. Refer to the specifications section for limits.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Greluma switch panel, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power to Panel/Voltmeter Off:
  • Check the main power connection to the red wire. Ensure it is securely connected to a live 12V/24V DC source.
  • Verify the ground connection (black wire) is secure.
  • Check for any blown fuses in the vehicle's electrical system or in the circuit supplying power to the panel.
• Switches Not Activating Devices:
  • Ensure the panel itself is receiving power (voltmeter is on).
  • Check the wiring from the switch output to the device. Ensure connections are secure and the device is properly grounded.
  • Verify the device itself is functional.
• USB Charger Not Working:
  • Confirm the panel is powered.
  • Try a different USB cable and device to rule out issues with the charging cable or the device being charged.
  • Ensure the outer cover of the USB port is open during charging.
• Inaccurate Voltmeter Reading:
  • Ensure the power source is stable. Fluctuations in the vehicle's electrical system can affect readings.
  • Verify the voltmeter's connections are secure and free from corrosion.
