Wiring

14
Proper wiring of the GTS100x
and the associated components is
extremely important for proper
performance and long-term relia-
bility. Using the proper type of
wire is very important. If a spe-
cific type of wire should be used
for a certain application, it will
be noted.
All wiring connections should be
made either by soldering with
heatshrink tubing insulation or
with high-quality crimp-type
insulated connectors installed
with a good crimping tool.
Soldering crimp connections
is recommended to further en-
hance connection reliability.
Never use wire-nuts, insulation-
displacement connectors (i.e.,
ScotchLok type), or "twist and
tape" connections. Do not use
electrical tape; it will loosen with
age and extreme temperatures.
Never leave bare wire exposed.
Route the wiring through the car
carefully. Do not allow wires to
lay against sharp sheet-metal
edges or any other surfaces that
might wear away or cut through
the insulation of the wire. Use
insulated strain reliefs, rubber
grommets and plastic tubing to
protect the wires whenever they
are run through sheet-metal pan-
els or are placed where they
might be pulled or damaged.
