Installation
Control Panel Installation
There are two mounting options for the control panel: an adjustable mounting bracket and a fixed mounting bracket.
Option 1: Adjustable Mounting Bracket
The recommended material thickness for the attachment point is approximately 3 to 6 mm. Ensure the control and power cables are long enough for the desired location. When drilling holes, exercise caution to avoid damaging vehicle wiring or components. Use the bracket to mark the hole positions. After installing the panel, proceed with cabling. The installation angle can be adjusted using an Allen key. Use M3*8 or M3*6 bolts for panel-to-bracket attachment and M5*10 or M5*18 screws for attaching the bracket to the surface, depending on material thickness.
Option 2: Adhesive Mount
Select a suitable location and clean both the mounting surface and the back of the control panel to remove dust and grease. Consider cable length. Remove the white protective film from the adhesive, apply it to the control panel, then remove the red film and attach the panel to the chosen surface.
Fuse Box Installation
The fuse box can be installed using two methods: surface mounting or flush mounting. It is recommended to install it in a location allowing for neat and safe wiring. When drilling, be mindful of the surface and what lies behind it to prevent damage to vehicle components.
Option 1: Surface Mount
Measure the installation point using the mounting bracket and fuse box as guides.
Option 2: Flush Mount
Measure the installation point using the mounting bracket and fuse box as guides.
Wiring Diagram and Connections
Power Connection: Connect the main power cable (Red) from the vehicle battery or a similar power source to the circuit breaker, and from the circuit breaker to the marked connection point on the fuse box. Connect the ground cable (Black) to the vehicle's chassis or a fixed grounding point, and then to the black marked connection point on the fuse box.
Control Panel Connection: Connect the 4-pin cable to the control panel and the other end to the marked socket on the fuse box.
Excitation Current: The excitation current can be sourced from the ignition switch, parking lights, or a 12V/24V DC outlet if devices should only operate when the vehicle is running. For operation when the vehicle is off, connect directly to the battery's positive terminal or another constant power source. Connect the 2-pin excitation current cable to the fuse box.
Note: A red LED indicator next to the fuse signals if the fuse has blown.
Connecting Lights and Devices
Connect desired devices to outputs 1-4 on the fuse box. Observe the maximum current rating for each circuit:
- Output 1: 30A
- Output 2: 20A
- Output 3: 10A
- Output 4: 5A
Attention: While devices can be connected to all outputs, the maximum total current for simultaneously active devices must not exceed 40 amperes. Overcurrent can damage components.
Control Panel Operation
Control Panel Description
The control panel features:
- 1. Indicator Light: Shows if an output is active.
- 2. Label Position: Space for a selected symbol label.
- 3. Ambient Brightness Sensor: Adjusts backlight based on ambient light.
- 4. Master ON/OFF Button: Powers all connected devices.
- 5. Master ON/OFF Indicator: Shows the status of the master switch.
- 6. RGB Backlighting: Default color is green.
- 7. Mode Button: Used for mode selection and backlighting adjustments.
Backlighting Brightness and Color Adjustment
The backlight brightness automatically adjusts to ambient light. The backlight can be temporarily turned off by pressing the "Mode" button; it will reactivate when "Mode" or any other button is pressed. To change the backlight color:
- Press the "Mode" button and either button 1 or 4 simultaneously. The "Mode" button indicator will turn red.
- Press or hold buttons 1 or 4 to cycle through colors. Holding the button changes the color faster.
- Once the desired color is selected, press the "Mode" button to save the choice. If not saved within 20 seconds, the changes are discarded.
Note: If automatic brightness adjustment issues arise after changing the backlight color, cycle the system's excitation power off and on again.
Advanced Modes
Control panel buttons 1-4 can be programmed for different modes: Toggle, Momentary, and Strobe. To change modes:
- Turn on the control panel.
- Quickly press the "Mode" button twice. The indicators above the buttons will start blinking.
- Press the button whose function mode you wish to change.
Indicator Color Meanings:
- Red: Continuous Power (Toggle Mode)
- Blue: Power only when pressed (Momentary Mode)
- Green: Strobe Function
Step 4: Test the functionality. If the mode did not change, restart the control panel and repeat steps 1-3.
Warranty
This product comes with a 12-month warranty covering material and manufacturing defects, or for devices that malfunction under normal use. The warranty does not cover damaged products resulting from user actions contrary to the instructions or from structural changes made to the product.
