SP9100 8 Switch Programmable Switch Panel Power System
KEY INSTALLATION POINTS
Failure to follow installation instructions may affect warranty coverage.
1. Do not modify the Communications Cable, which connects the Switch Panel and Power Module.
• Why? The SP9100 uses specialty communication protocol that can be interrupted and malfunction if the
cable is altered in any way. For a custom length cable, please contact our Sales Department. For more
information, see Section 5.
2. The Light Blue Ignition Wire needs to be tapped into a 12V switched source.
• Why? When the Light Blue Ignition Wire senses 12V, the panel backlighting illuminates, and Ignition Input
switches are operational. To override the need for the Light Blue Ignition Wire, program switches to be
Battery Input. For more information, see Section 3.3.
3. Connect the Black Ground Wire directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
• Why? The negative terminal of the battery is the best ground source. A poor ground source can cause
abnormal behavior. For more information, see Section 3.2.
4. Do not connect any other power feeds to the stud on the Power Module.
• Why? The Power Module is not designed to support other equipment, beyond those that are powered by the
output wires. For more information, see Section 4.
5. Mount the Power Module in a vertical position, with the connectors facing outward, not upward.
• Why? This allows water to run off, and not collect on the top of the connector, or face of the module.
Pooling water can cause corrosion over time. For more information, see Section 2.
