concerning the 12v + / - where is the best place to locate the negative wire on the 12v side?

The 12 volt negative would connect to the negative lead of the 12V accessory you are powering.

I believe I ran it back to the neg side of the battery since the system does not use the chassis for a ground.Just touch it and see if whatever you are hooking up works .

The voltage reducer if it is the 48 V to 12V one is designed to go across all batteries. Therefore you connect the positive side to the positive terminal on one end of the battery system and the negative on the negative terminal at the other end of the battery series. If you have 8V batteries there should be 6 batteries hooked up in series between the negative and positive connections.

The 12v pos. and neg. wires from the reducer connect to what ever you need the 12v for. Example: if it is for a horn you connect the neg wire from the 12vside of the reducer to the neg. wire on the horn and the 12v pos. wire from the reducer to the pos. wire on the horn. If it is for lights, you do the same. Do not ground that neg. 12v wire to the batt. or frame...only to the neg. wire of your 12v accessory...whatever that is going to be.

I ran my +12V and -12 V to an appliance receptacle. I then can plug in anything I want.

Tom. Hook it to 12V positive along with the red wire with the fuse. The blue one can be used for a remote switch if need be. Doug

Now that I've looked at the product, I remember. The wires will hook up as Tinkerguy notes below. Just put the wire into the hole and screw the screw in and it holds the wires firmly. So basically, you just need to strip the end of the wires from your 12V supply bare and put them in.

My installation is grounded to the negative side of the battery, I recall the manufactures installation instructions showed a negative and a positive ground diagram so you should be able to do either.

There is a power cord coming out. They are 2 wires. The only hard part is there is no documentation as to positive vs negative lead. I tested both directions and chose which worked best.

none we could find. just kept blowing circuit breaker. had to go to circuit box and reset it there

Hi Doyle,If I recall, there is only 1 wire which hooks to the positive side of the battery. I believe the unit is already grounded when installed on the trailer. I store my trailer offsite and I cannot get there without a major inconvenience. I'd follow the instructions and if you're missing a wire, return the item and get a replacement. I hope this helps!

Hi Dale just join the two red wires together and run them to positive and the black wires to negative leaving the fine black wire not connected good luck Chris A.

I agree with T. Thomas, sounds like reversed polarity - it's easy to do as the documentation is not very clear on the wiring.

Thanks, i'll check for the switch on the back tonight. i'm sure the polarity is correct, red to lead (+) and black to ground (-) right?

There is a "trigger out" port in the rear. From my understanding, this will feed a low current (up to 0.1A) whenever the unit is turned on, and this can be cabled directly to a power screen that supports the 12V trigger.

You need to determine if its 24 vdc or 12 vex. If its wired both pos. And both neg. Together its 12 vdc in parallel. If its wired straight though from one battery to the next pos. To neg its 24. You hook the pos. From your battery to the pos on the controller terminal with pic of the battery. And neg like wise. That should be it.

I would put a switch in between, but connect your negative wire to a negative bus first, then positive to the positive bus with the switch in the off position. Make sure you have the proper fuse inserted then, flip the switch on and the appliance should start.

The end that has the silver bolt on it goes around your negative battery terminal. Then you attach the clamp that was on the negative terminal on to the copper post on the opposite end. You then tighten the green screw top to connect the power and unscrew it about 3 revolutions to disconnect the power, you will hear a solenoid click when you connect or disconnect the power flow.

put alligator clamps on the wires then attatch red wire to positive battery post and black wire to negative post

Remove all the crap you no longer need. Ballast etc. Wire directly to the power, 12v. Waalaa.......!
