Fuse box installation

Fuse box can be installed by two different methods:

Surface mounted
Flush mounted

It is advised to install the system to a position in which all the wiring can be installed neatly and safely.
When drilling any holes during the installation, pay attention to the surface and beyond the surface so any cabling or other components of the subject vehicle are not being damaged.

Option 1: Surface mount
Option 2: Flush mount

Measure the installation point by using the mounting bracket and fuse box as guidelines.

Control panel installation

There are two ways to install the control panel: Adjustable mounting bracket and fixed the mounting bracket

Option 1: Adjustable mounting bracket

Advised material thickness for the attachment point should be around 3 to 6 mm. Make sure that the control and power cables are long enough for the desired attachment point. When drilling any holes, extra attention must be paid to not damage any wiring or other components of the subject vehicle. Mark the hole positions by using the bracket as a guiding tool. After the panel has been installed continue to connect the cabling.The installation angle of the control panel can be adjusted with an allen key. There are two different sizes of screws included in the package from which more suitable size option can be selected and the extra set of screws can be saved for spare parts. Both sets of bolts included in the package M3*8 and M3*6 can be used to install the control panel to the bracket. Use either the M5*10 or M5*18 screws to attach the bracket depending on the material thickness of the attachment surface.

Option 2: Adhesive mount

Choose a suitable attachment point for the control panel and clean the attachment point and backside of the control panel from any dust or grease. Pay attention to the length of the control panel wiring when selecting the position. Remove the white protective film and install the sticker on the control panel. After this remove the red protective film and install the control panel to the selected attachment point.

Wiring diagram

Power: Connect the main power cable (Red) from the vehicle battery or similar power output to the circuit breaker and from the circuit breaker to the marked connection point on the fuse box. Connect the ground cable’s (Black) other end to the vehicles chassis or other fixed grounding point and the other end to the marked connection point on the fuse box.
Connecting the control panel: Connect the other end of the 4-pin cable to the control panel and the other end to the marked position on the fuse box.
Excitation current: The excitation for the fuse box can be connected by many ways depending of the desired working principle. If it is not necessary to operate the connected devices when the vehicle is not running the excitation current can be taken from the ignition switch, parking lights or from a 12V/24V DC outlet. If it is necessary to operate the devices whilst the vehicle is not running the excitation current can be taken straight from the car battery or other constant power supply. Connect the 2-pin cable connector to the fuse box.
Attention! The red indicator next to the fuse indicates if the fuse blown
