Note 2-1: Electrical Installation
1. Vehicle manufacturers usually have specific locations for electrical power access. These
locations are fuse protected to limit short-circuit current. Refer to the vehicle
documentation or contact the manufacturer for the recommended locations prior to
the electrical installation.
2. For trailers, connect the TD100 system power and ground to the nose box electrical
connector. This will be a fused electrical power source from the truck. For trucks,
connect TD100 system power to a switched and fused accessory power connection
from the battery. A switched electrical power source is required to reduce battery drain
while not in operation.
3. When making connections to the vehicle electrical ground, ensure that the wiring is
terminated at a battery ground terminal. Some metal components are electrically
insulated from the battery ground or bolted with painted surfaces causing a poor
connection.
4. Wire splices should be made inside a weatherproof enclosure to prevent premature
failure due to corrosion.
5. Secure all wires and cabling with clips or cable ties.
6. Tighten all compression fittings.
7. Follow all federal, state/provincial, and local safety standards and industry
recommended practices for the vehicle.
2.5 Basic Single or Dual Compartment Installation (FINCH II-W)
Wiring steps for a basic single or dual TD100 transmitter and FINCH II-W installation.
Refer to Figure 2-4 through Figure 2-7 for the wiring diagrams and schematics. Observe the recommended cable
routing in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-7 to minimize external wiring connections. All wiring interconnections should be
made inside a weatherproof enclosure.
Note 2-2: Electrical Installation
1. Terminals on the FINCH are identified by the name of the connector group: terminal
name (terminal number), for example PWR IN: GND IN (1) describes the power
ground terminal at the far-right hand side of the FINCH terminals.
2. The Power Switch, Remote Alarm Acknowledge push button and Horn are optional
accessories.
