Wiring Safety Warnings

WARNING: Only approved wire connection methods are recommended. Refer to the vehicle
manufacturer's service manual to determine if soldering, sealing crimp connections, Add-A-
Circuit, Posi-Tap, sealing butt connections, or OEM connections to open connection ports are
approved. Never use plier tap products such as insulation displacement connectors (i.e.
ScotchLoc connectors) when installing the SF-Series.
WARNING: Never wire the SF-Series device in a manner that shares a connection with
another aftermarket product in the vehicle. Independent connections should always be used.
WARNING: All wires that carry electrical current to the Lytx device must be fused. Failure to
fuse the power, ground, and ignition wires can lead to serious personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage. If any wires or cables containing fuses/fuse boxes need to be cut or otherwise
shortened, always be certain to replace such fuses/fuse boxes or install new ones.
WARNING: Wire Protection: Take all necessary measures to protect all wire runs through a
metal surface with a grommet or other device and all wire runs outside the vehicle cab with
a loom. Always protect against wire fatigue and harness abrasion by properly attaching
wires at closely spaced intervals, while avoiding contact with sharp edges or doing anything
else that might result in exposed wires. All wires should be secured with tie wraps at least
every one foot (30 cm/300 mm) or less. Do not over-tighten any tie wraps.
WARNING: Cable Routing: Make certain that neither the cable nor your installation activities
interferes with any airbag-related mechanisms or otherwise risks affecting airbag deploy-
ment. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the location of any airbag sensors and systems
and restrictions that may apply.
