IMPORTANT FITTING INSTRUCTION
The following procedure applies to all control plug connections used throughout the Night Hawk Variable Series wiring systems.
To ensure long-term, reliable operation of the Night Hawk Variable Series wiring system, the control plugs need to be correctly assembled and well- sealed to prevent water ingress. A poorly sealed control plug can allow water into the electrical pins and cause corrosion over time, which can lead to intermittent issues and faults. Careful attention needs to be paid to the seating of the O-ring, as well as the use of di-electric grease (silicone grease) on the electrical pins to act as a barrier to water ingress.
-
Apply a liberal amount of di-electric grease to the 4 pins of the control plug.
-
Align the arrows on the 2 mating plugs to ensure the keyways are positioned correctly
Firmly push the male plug into the female plug, noting that some Dielectric grease should fl ow out of the plug. Push fi rmly until the red O-ring is properly seated against the shoulder of the female plug and wipe away excess grease. -
Tighten the screw lock to form a secure, waterproof connection
Ensure metal-to-metal contact between the electrical pins has been retained by trialing the full operation of the Variable Series wiring system before finalising the installation.
-
Use heat shrink to secure the connection
It is recommended to use a 40mm length of Ø14mm (minimum) heat shrink over each control plug to further act as a barrier to water ingress, as well as holding the screw lock in place over the life of the connection.
Instructions for control plugs when used with other wiring systems
If you wish to use the Night Hawk VLI lights with a traditional, relay-based
wiring loom, where the control plug is not utilized, it is important to seal
the control plug to prevent water ingress. Fill the control plug with di-
electric grease, then screw on the supplied cap. ensuring the seal within the
cap seats onto the shoulder of the female plug. Cover with heat shrink to
further secure the cap.
