With a Slide Switch
This nanoFRED G3 kit includes a red L.E.D. (Optionally mounted on a body mount coupler), battery holder, 1 battery and switch. While every unit is tested before it is approved for sale, things can happen during shipping. Please before installing, test to insure that the L.E.D. is working by holding the wires to the battery holder contacts, making sure the short striped wire (+) goes to the switch and the other wire goes to the (-) contact on the battery holder. With the switch in the ON position the L.E.D. should now blink. (The option body mount coupler is mounted to the car body or car frame with 1 00-90# screw (included). Mount only to the frame as you will need to remove the body to change batteries.) You will need to drill a hole in the frame to route the wires from the L.E.D. to the battery holder /switch. The wires are very fragile and sharp bends should be avoided.
The switch is connected to the battery holder with a RED wire. Next solder the (+) wire to the contact on the switch and the other wire to the battery holder. You may want to cut a hole in the frame of the car to make the switch accessible from below or if the car has sliding doors mount it next to the door.
If the nanoFRED does not work for any reason, please return it for a replacement.
With a Reed Switch
This
nanoFRED G3 kit includes a red
L.E.D. (Optionally mounted on a body
mount coupler), dual battery holder, 2 batteries and magnetic latching reed
switch. While every unit is tested
before it is approved for sale, things can happen during shipping. Please
before installing, test to insure that the L.E.D. is working by holding the
wires to the battery holder contacts, making sure the short striped wire (+)
goes to the reed switch and the other wire goes to the (-) contact on the
battery holder.
The reed switch is connected to the battery
holder with a wire. Next solder the (+)
wire to the contact on the reed switch and the other wire to the battery
holder. The reed switch has a glass body that is very fragile. Do not cut or bend the leads on the reed
switch. Mount the reed switch using thick glue near the top of the car body or
load.
The reed switch is activated by moving a
magnet (included) from one side to the other.
If the nanoFRED does not work
for any reason, please return it for a replacement.
*Please
do not attempt to remove the wires from the L.E.D. as it is extremely heat
sensitive and doing so will void your warranty.
