Wiring Instructions
- Батареяны ажыратыңыз: Зымдарды туташтырууну баштоодон мурун, электр зымдарынын кыска туташуусуна жол бербөө үчүн унааңыздын аккумуляторунун терс терминалын сууруп алыңыз.
- Туташуу кубаты: Connect the positive (+) wire from the light bar to a fused 12V power source. It is highly recommended to use a relay and a dedicated wiring harness (sold separately) for optimal performance and safety, especially for high-power LED light bars.
- Жерге туташтыруу: Connect the negative (-) wire from the light bar to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis to establish a good ground connection.
- Install Switch (Optional but Recommended): If using a switch, wire it into the positive line, typically between the relay and the light bar, or directly to the light bar if it's a low-power application and the switch is rated for the current.
- Сыноо байланыштары: Once all connections are made and insulated, reconnect the vehicle's battery. Test the light bar to ensure it functions correctly. If it does not illuminate, recheck all connections and fuses.
Операция
Once properly installed and wired, the Pilot Automotive PLV-1014 LED Light Bar operates by activating the connected switch. Ensure your vehicle's ignition is on if the light bar is wired to an ignition-switched circuit.
