FUEL GAUGE INSTALLATION
1. Power down the device in which the fuel gauge will be
installed. Power down the first InSight battery in the string
by tapping the power button once and then depressing
the button until both LEDs on the battery show solid red

the red ring terminal to the positive battery post and then
the black ring terminal to the negative battery post on the
first InSight battery in the bank.
3. Insert the CANBUS plug attached to the cable assembly
wiring harness in the provided CANBUS SPLITTER.
4. Route the other end of the cable through the mounting
bracket to the fuel gauge display destination on the
vehicle dashboard and insert the four-pin cable plug into
the back of the gauge. Important note - be sure to route
the cable through the mounting bracket on the back side
of the dashboard. Use zip ties to secure harness to
vehicle to reduce strain on plugs!
5. Insert the fuel gauge through the dashboard and seat
in the mounting bracket. Rotate the mounting bracket
until the fuel gauge is held firmly in place on the
dashboard. Installation is now complete. The fuel gauge
will display current state of charge and other messages
communicated by the battery bank.
REMOTE BUTTON INSTALLATION
1. Begin by locating the Remote Button Cable Assembly.
Route the connecting end through the button mounting
destination hole, ending in the battery compartment. Use
zip ties to secure the cable assembly to the vehicle to
reduce strain on connections.
2. Attach the red ring terminal to the positive battery post
and then the black ring terminal to the negative battery
post on the first InSight battery in the bank.
3. Insert the CANBUS plug attached to the remote button
cable assembly in provided CANBUS splitter on the first
InSight battery in the bank.
4. Insert the CANBUS splitter in the CANBUS IN port on the
first battery in the string.
5. Installation is complete. Test the function of the remote
button by depressing the remote button until the InSight
Batteries in the string power on (approx five seconds).
