Heat-troller -  Hotgrips  Wiring Instructions

The three drawings on this page should help in wiring up the Heat-troller to the typical heated grips that are on the market. The first two drawings are the way most grips are designed to be wired. The third drawing is how the Heat-troller should be wired up using these grips.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT SOME MODELS OF HEATED GRIPS HAVE TO BE WIRED IN SERIES! IF THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BE WIRED IN SERIES, DO NOT WIRE IN PARALLEL TO GET MORE HEAT . IT WILL CAUSE THE GRIPS TO OVERHEAT AND FAIL, AND WILL POSSIBLY DAMAGE YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Installing Your Handgrip Heat-Troller

1. Turn knob on Heat-Troller to off position and make sure it is unplugged from power.

2. Determine where the switch and LED should be mounted on your vehicle. The LED should be placed in your line of sight and not hidden behind the knob. Please note that the switch and LED are mounted on a circuit board which may be broken apart at score line if you prefer to mount the switch in a different place than where you mount the LED. Clip through the cable tie holding the board to the cable, strip back the casing of the cable as far as needed, and then reattach a cable tie (included) for strain relief.

3. Drill a hole through the mounting surface for the switch using a 9/32 inch or 17/64 inch drill bit. We recommend a Unibit #1 drill bit.

4. If the mounting surface is too thick for the threads of the switch, an adaptor piece (included) may be needed. The collar of the nut fits into the hole through the fairing and will screw to the shaft of the switch, holding it in place. The hole drilled through the fairing will need to be made large enough for the collar to fit into it.

5. Drill a hole for the LED using a 7/64-inch drill bit. Use hot glue or waterproof caulking to hold the LED in place.

If you are going to use a relay, on a 5 pin relay, ingore pin 87A
