Select the desired location for the remote switch panel, preferably
inside the boat. Make sure the location gives you access for running all
your wires and that it is close to the 12-volt DC power source.

Note: *All installation is to be done [before]{.underline} power is
applied to the control box by inserting the fuse.*

![](media/image2.png){width="2.109722222222222in"
height="1.6666666666666667in"}Use a template to make the cutout in the
selected location and cut the hole with a jigsaw. It is recommended that
you protect the surface of the cutout area with tape to avoid scratching
the surrounding surface.

-   3 Gang Switch - Template should be 3" by 1-5/8"

-   5 Gang Switch - Template should be 5" by 1-5/8"

-   6 Gang Switch - Template should be 6-1/8" by 1-5/8"

    for the face plate of the panel before cutting.]{.mark}**

Install switch panel into cutout, predrill pilot hole and screw in place
with #6 pan head screws.

Mount the command box in a desired location close to the breaker panel
or other power supply terminal and within 3' from the desired switch
panel location so that the switch harness will reach the switches.

(note: additional 3 foot harness are available and can be connected
together to increase length. The harness wires may also be spliced with
18-gauge wire for a distance up to 40 feet)

Install wiring for the lights, siren, P.I.R. motion sensor, and power
according to the wire labels (use your best judgment and always use
wiring glands when drilling through watertight membranes).

*Pirate Lights Marine Security \| **Installation** page 1 of 2*

[Please see attach wire size chart for recommended wire gauges used for
different configurations.]{.mark}

-   *DC current is susceptible to voltage drop over wire distance and
    therefore must be sized for the distance and power needed on each
    wire run (please use the attached reference table to determine the
    recommended wire size for the number and size of lights for your
    application).*

**[Note]{.underline}**: There is one 16ga / 3 conduit wire labeled "RGB
Light Bar" -- the system can directly power a total of two 12" light
bars [OR]{.underline} one 20" light bar through this wire. *If you
desire more lights, we can create a custom set up to add as many lights
as you would like by using waterproof relay. Please contact us for more
information or to discuss other lighting options.*

Terminate lights, siren, motion sensor(s), beam break sensors, float
switch, and smoke detectors with heat shrinkable butt connectors.

Terminate lights, siren, motion sensor(s), beam break sensors, float
switch, smoke detectors and power with the command box and attach them
appropriately to the labeled wiring and wire flow chart provided.

The final termination is at your 12-volt DC power source, install a 15A
fuse holder or attach to a 15A circuit breaker. **It is extremely
important to terminate the wiring with all connections per the wire
labels.**

**[Wire recommendations:]{.underline}**

**[For all Sensors & Siren:]{.underline}** (Motion Sensor, Float Sensor,
Beam Break Sensor, Smoke/Heat Detector)

-   We recommend using a good, **[SHIELDED]{.mark}** 22AWG stranded
    copper core 4 conduit alarm wire for all the sensor installation
    along with a Type B waterproof connector with sealant.

-   Although you will not use all four wires, it is round, PVC
        insolated, cost effective, and has its length labeled every foot
        for easy installation.

-   This can be used for the Siren(s) as well (*out to 42' of cable
    length*) and can be bundled together (*two wires for power and two
    wires for ground*) for using two sirens on the same length of cable.
