4. Insert and tighten the two threaded rods into the two threaded inserts located on the back side of the control
head. Peel off the adhesive-backed foam pads and place them on the back of the control head; make sure you
notice the difference between the longer top/bottom and shorter side pads.
5. Insert the control head through the mounting hole from the front side of the dash. From the back side of the
dash, align the two threaded rods on the rear of the housing with the two holes on the in-dash mounting
bracket. Place a washer onto each threaded rod, then secure bracket by placing a wing nut onto each threaded
rod and tighten fully.
6. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector insert. The cable connectors are keyed
to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong slots. If you don’t have
a cable for every hole in the insert, install the blank plugs to protect the unit from the weather.
7. While holding cables in place in the cable collector insert, thread the cables through the slot in the bottom of
the cable collector cover, line up the cable collector insert and cover, then slide the cover into place on the insert.
NOTE: The t b on the c ble collector insert goes into the slot on the cover.
8. Attach the cable collector insert to the cable collector cover using the 2 Phillips screws provided.
9. Plug the cable collector assembly into the back of the control head. Cable connectors and cable sockets are
keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong sockets. Once the
cable collector and all cables are plugged into the back of the control head, lock the assembly into place by
threading the knurled screw into the threaded insert on the back of the housing. (Cable ties are provided to help
you secure the cables in place by threading them through the available holes on the in-dash bracket).
NOTE: It is very import nt th t the c ble collector is used nd secured in pl ce in the In-D sh inst ll tion.
