Wiring Diagram Description
The installation involves connecting the ProGLOW™ Bluetooth Controller to your vehicle's 12VDC power system and then to your Magical Wizards™ LED accessories.
Component Connections:
- Battery Connection: The Power Harness connects to the battery. The Red wire connects to the Positive (+) terminal, and the Black wire connects to the Negative (-) terminal. A Blue wire serves as a Battery Monitor.
- Power Harness: Features an ON/OFF Power Switch and an inline 3A Fuse for protection.
- Controller Connection: The Power Harness plugs into the ProGLOW™ Controller's power port. The controller has multiple output channels labeled BB, 1, 2, 3, P.
- Accessory Connection: The Magical Wizards™ Adapter Harness connects to one of the controller's output channels (e.g., Channel 1). The two unused channel outputs should have ProGLOW™ End Caps installed.
- LED Strip Connection: Your Magical Wizards™ LED accessories connect to the Magical Wizards™ Adapter Harness.
- Optional Brake Alert: A Black wire from the controller can be connected to the vehicle's 12VDC positive brake circuit. This feature causes the lights to turn solid red when the brake is engaged. If not used, this wire should be capped to prevent shorting.
Connector Detail: Use caution when connecting the mating ProGLOW™ accessory connectors. Confirm the mating connector is connected correctly, or LED accessories will not illuminate. The locking tab should slide onto the lock and lock into position.
Multiple Accessories: For connecting multiple Magical Wizards™ accessories, it is recommended to use cage clamp connectors (Part # CG01, sold separately). Cage clamps offer easy connection of multiple LED accessories to a single Magical Wizards™ Adapter Harness.
