Safety Warnings
Do not install equipment in areas that interfere with vehicles safety systems (airbags, seat
belts). Use caution when drilling or installing screws, avoid wiring, fuel lines, or other
equipment that might be behind the surface.
Never run wires through a drilled hole without a grommet, wires chaffing against metal will
overtime cause malfunctions or vehicle fire. When using a grommet seal to prevent water
entry into vehicle. (use a sealant appropriately related for the location)

STEP 1 Planning Consult with the end user
•Determine a suitable mounting location for the Control Head. The Head should be easily
visible to the K9 Handler.
•Determine which door they would like to be remotely popped open. For safety reasons,
the passenger side rear door is usually the best choice to avoid releasing the K9 into the
flow of traffic.
•If a fan kit was purchased determine the preferred location, usually in a rear door
window, blowing air across the K9.
•Have end user review Menu settings and customize them to their requirements.
The install will vary greatly depending on the customer preferences, vehicle, and equipment.
Review the Hot-N-Pop®Pro Installation instructions including the vehicle specific install
supplement to get an overview of the equipment placement, wiring and connections. Also
review the Installation Information for each of the Heat Alarm Alert Options that you are
installing. Make connections following the order outlined below. Consider where connections
are made, run wires in groups. Planning will speed installation.
Parts and setup will vary by vehicle. See Vehicle Specific Information

STEP 2 Control Head installation
Mount securely in a location that is dry and visible to the K9 handler. Plug the control head
cable into the head.
STEP 3 Intelabox installation
Mount the IntelaBox in a location that allows easy access
Find a DRY location where it is easily serviceable for upgrades and programming.
Route the Control Head Cable to the Intelabox. Attach the cable, be sure that the cables
(RJ45) connectors go in straight and the cable is not kinked. Do not run control head cable
parallel to transmitting antenna cables.
STEP 4 Protective Relay Module (PRM) Installation
The Protective Relay Module is the output controller for heat alarm options and accessories.
•Locate the Protective relay module near the Intelabox.
•Connect the IntelaBox Heat Alarm Option Cable (Gray Cable with black
connector) to Protective Relay Module (PRM).
•Connect the Intelabox 10 Gauge Red Male Wire to the Red Female wire off the PRM.
•Attach the PRM Black Ground (PIN 12) wire to a chassis ground.
•Attach PRM's Red Battery wire to uninterrupted Battery or connection point capable of
supplying 40A of power. Fuse at connection point (40A).
Battery connection must be direct. Do not use a device that automatically
removes power to vehicle and connected system that notify the K9 handler when
the system activates.
This system has features designed to operate with the IGNITION OFF.
•When power is connected, the head will power up briefly and turn itself off. Continue with
install.
