Ecco Axios - Wiring Instructions

10
Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the
wiring diagram illustrated opposite which describes the function for each
wire. After the lightbar has been mounted, route the power cable to the
junction box (the junction box must be mounted in an interior location).
Route the power red wire from the junction box to a fused, ignition-
switched power point. Connect the black power wire to a solid ground
connection on the vehicle (ideally, directly to the battery negative terminal).
Use a fuse according to the wiring diagram.
To Use the Keypad Controller
Route the control cable from the junction box to the chosen controller location and
connect to the controller.
To Use Switches
Route and connect the wires of the optional wire control harness from the junction
box to the battery positive via switches (not supplied). See the wiring diagram wire
color/function legend. Some wires may be unused dependent on specic lightbar
conguration.
Wiring the Stop-Tail-Indicator Function
Connect the Tail/Stop/Right/Left wires from the STI/Aux/Sync wire harness from the
junction box to the corresponding wires of the vehicle electrical system.
Wiring the Auxiliary Switch Output
Connect the Brown (Aux Out) wire from the STI/Aux/Sync wire harness from the junction
box to the positive coil of a 12 VDC relay. Connect the negative side of the coil to ground.
Run a properly-fused load wire to one contact of the relay (COMMON). Run a second
load wire from the other relay contact (Normally Open) to the Auxiliary device to be
powered. Run a ground wire from the other side of the Auxiliary device to ground.
Use cable ties and grommets to secure and protect all cables and wires.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit is a safety device and it must be connected
to its own separate, fused power point to assure
its continued operation should any other electrical
accessory fail. Do not wire in parallel with any other
accessory.
1 Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer
service life for components. For high current wires it is
highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered
connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the
connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors
(e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2 Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing
through compartment walls. Minimize the number of
splices to reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures
(e.g., under-hood) will signicantly reduce the current
carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All
wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other
recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected
from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets,
cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used
to anchor and protect all wiring.
3 Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to
the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to
protect the wiring and devices.
4 Particular attention should be paid to the location and
method of making electrical connections and splices to
protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5 Ground termination should only be made to substantial
chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle
battery.
6 Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures
and will “false trip” when mounted in hot environments or
operated close to their capacity.
Disconnect the battery before wiring up the
lightbar, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing
and/or electrical shock.
