Yes, the Road Angel Halo hardwire lead includes the necessary wiring to prevent battery drain. It has a white "B+" cable for a permanent 12V connection, a red "ACC" cable for an ignition-switched 12V source, and a black "GND" cable for grounding. Proper installation ensures the device only draws power when needed, minimizing battery drain. However, some users reported concerns about battery drainage, suggesting that real-world performance may vary.

    Step-by-Step Instructions In most cases it is practical to begin the installation of the Halo device by fitting the rear facing camera first, allowing any excess cabling to be concealed within the dashboard bulk space of the vehicle. This allows a professional finish and provides excess cable towards the front of the vehicle should there be a need to refit/modify the cable in the future.
  • Page 5 Step 2: Rear Camera Installation: When installing the rear camera, it is recommended that this item is fitted at the upmost point of the rear windscreen, with the lens directed towards the back of the vehicle/road. Before fitting the rear camera, take note of the white arrow symbol located at the back of the camera. This white arrow should be pointing upwards, with the cable protruding from the left side of the camera.
  • Page 6 Once the extension cable has been fitted and has reached the fuse box, connect the extension cable to the Halo front camera, using the port located at the top left hand side of the device. Once this is connected, connect the power lead (hard wire lead – supplied separately) to the remaining port.

In order to further secure this connection, it is recommended that these cables are soldered together and protected with adhesive electric tape.
  • Page 9 Note: The Halo hardwire lead includes a fuse on the live connection. It is recommended to install a further inline fuse on the ‘ignition’ (ACC) lead. However, the Halo device does not rely on this ACC lead for power and this is simply ‘good practice’ and should be a decision for the installer.

    With the introduction of Stop/Start technology please be aware that the ignition feed and the permanent power (12V) needs to remain live even when the Stop/Start feature is engaged. The Halo hardwire lead has 1x power output (DC input to device) and 3x exposed connections for wiring into the vehicle as follows: The white cable labelled “B+”...

    (where applicable). This may prevent the correct operation of the device and will invalidate the warranty.  Verify that the Halo functions prior to installation. This can be achieved by connecting the DC power lead to the device and confirming the device powers up and records as expected. ...
