1) Receiver Output Voltages
A) The receiver has four output voltage (channels) which will operate four separate circuits.The
output voltage is 12 volts direct current (vdc).The maximum drive current for each of the four
output channels is300mA (maximum) . The four outputs can (drive) turn On small bulbs or
relay coils.
B) Check the power requirement for the bulb before connecting to the receiver
. 12vdc at 0.1amp
(maximum) or 1 watt (maximum)
C) Check the power requirement for the relay before connecting to the receiver.
The relay coil
should be rated for the current requirements. The maximum allowable coil current is 300mA.
2) Determine where the receiver and antenna will be located.
Typically the RF receiver is located under the dash or behind a wall panel in the back. If the receiver
is to be mounted outside the cab area then you must protect the receiver
.
The receiver is NOT
waterproof or moisture resistant*.
DO NOT mount the receiver and antenna:
A) Within 6 feet of a motor
B) Near large bundles of wires
C) Near other antennas or RF devices
D) The antenna should not be touching any metal as this grounds the RF (radio
frequency) signal

Installation: Electrical
1) Install Power
Connect the Red wire to a constant +12v battery power source. Note: For best performance, run a
clean +12v (300mA) directly from the battery or a fuse that is NOTsupplying any power to motors,
lights or any other type of high current device.
2) Install Ground
Connect the Black wire to chassis ground
A) Scrape all paint and grease away from the body frame.
A loose chassis ground connectionWILL cause intermittent operation of receiver
.
B) Clean the area using an alcohol based cleaner to remove paint chips and grease.
C) Crimp a #10, 3/16” ring terminal onto the black ground wire.
D) Insert the ring terminal and a #10, 3/16” star washer over a 10x3/4” hex head,
self-tapping ground screw.
E) Tighten ground screw securely into clean frame area.
3) Install Outputs - Maximum output is 300mA
**Unit will be damaged if more than 300mA is drawn from any one circuit.
A) Connect only One Channel output wire at a time to a relay or function which uses 300mA or
less. (On channels 1 and 2; choose either the negative or the positive wires, NOT both)
B) Solder connections and protect with shrink tube or use an 18g insulated butt terminal.

WARNING!
If the output wires are installed to the wrong polarity, the output will be damaged. For example: if
the channel 2 pink (+12) output wire is connected to a ground, a ‘dead short’ will occur when the
button is pressed.The output will test ‘dead’and the trace may be burned or test ‘high (On)’
at all
times.
4) W iring Inspection
A) Check all wiring connections visually
B) Check the polarity of all wires

The following schematics are for reference only. The installer must verify that the circuit is properly wired
with the correct gauge of wire, and properly fused with the correct fuse size and type for the circuit.
Vehicle window switches and door lock switches can be designed as a positive pulse, a negative pulse or
a reversal rest @ ground circuit.
To determine which type is used in your vehicle, take a voltmeter and probe one of the output wires a the
switch. Check the polarity with the switch pressed and without the switch pressed. Compare results with
the chart below.

Installation: Motors Using Relays, Safety Disable Switch
WARNING! If using any type of motor, such as a window motor, a ramp motor, a door
motor, or a winch motor - add a Disable switch to prevent the door or window circuit from
operating when vehicle is in motion.
A disable switch should be installed in many applications to deny operation of the motor
when a vehicle is in motion. However, due to changes in automotive electrical design and the
addition of computer controlled circuits, it is no longer advisable or safe to tap into or cut wires
to disable automotive factory circuits.To overcome this problem, you must install an electro-
mechanical switch which will determine gear position, thus safely disabling the circuit while the
vehicle is in motion. Below are three options for installing a Safety Disable Switch.
