Inside the FREEWheel Receiver are the relays
and ‘low current circuits’ that control the relay
coils. The white pair from the receiver for each
channel is the ‘high current circuit’ pair shown.
The white pair can be used to switch up to 10A
and can be wired in parallel with the existing
dashboard switches, or the switches can be
removed, if preferred.
In ALL cases, additional relays MUST be used for
the headlight circuit or other high current loads
above 10A (not supplied).
1. Wiring
Identify a fused, ignition-switched circuit that
can be used for the power supply to FREEWheel.
The FREEWheel Receiver draws little current
(<500mA typically), so will not increase the circuit
load significantly.
Identify a suitable Ground connection, ideally
direct to the vehicle chassis. Identify the existing
circuits and schematics. These will be critical to
successful installation. See figure 1 and figure 2
for suggested indicator and main beam wiring
diagrams. Some vehicles as standard do not
provide high beam flashing unless headlamps
are [ON] (e.g. Westfields), so use the elements of
the diagrams applicable to your vehicle.
Choose a cool, dry location for the Receiver
inside the car, with minimal (metal) obstructions
between Receiver and Transmitter. Behind the
dashboard is normally an ideal place.
With the vehicle battery disconnected, connect
Receiver Power and Ground to the previously
identified wires.
