The
i
LM should be connected directly to a known 12V-DC power source (range of 10 to
24VDC), either the column harness or battery of the vehicle. Although the unit has a built-in
self-resetting fuse, the iLM’s power cable must be fused protected at the power source on
both the RED and WHITE power connections with the 3 amp fuses and fuse holders, included
in the installation kit. Additionally, remember to place the tamper resistant sticker and a tie
wrap over the cover of the fuse holder, as shown in the following picture, so that any
tampering with power source wires can be easily detected.
Use a voltmeter to verify voltage and hook wires as indicated below.
Black
Ground
Red
(fused, 3 Amps)
to vehicle battery, unswitched (+), this wire must
see at least 10 volts at all times, if not the unit will reset continually and send inaccurate
information
White (fused, 3 Amps) To true ignition, 12V switched, there must be
12 volt power in the “on”, “start”, and “run
position.
All connections at the column harness must be made by either soldering bare wire to bare
wire or using the poke and wrap method.
Note: T-taps, scotch locks, and like connectors are
not permitted and must not be used to tie the iLM to its power source.
