Remote Safety
Shutdown System

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
REMOTE ENGINE SHUTDOWN

1. Install the control module on the inside of the truck cab. It has been determined, during interviews with drivers, that the rear wall of the cab behind the driver seat is a satisfactory location.

Important: The use of wire connectors and electrical tape will insure that all wire connections are secure and insulated. This is important for a dependable and trouble free system. We also are strongly recommending that any wire connections made in the engine compartment should be soldered and protected against moisture. Wires installed at the ignition module should definitely be soldered, as corrosion caused by moisture could cause ignition problems. Exposed wiring, particularly the ignition wire running through the engine compartment, should be protected by a sheathing such as a plastic loom.

5 Position Connector Wiring:

1. Connect the BLACK wire from the control module's 5 position connector to a good chassis ground or to a vehicle wire connected to ground.

2. Connect the YELLOW wire from the control module's 5 position connector to an ignition "ON" 12-volt source.

3. Connect the WHITE wire from the control module's 5 position connector to the wire on the ground side of the power take-off assembly. The wire going from the light to the PTO is a ground wire. When the PTO is put in gear, the light is grounded out and it lights up. This grounding wire becomes a negative (-) arming switch. When the PTO is engaged, the system will be armed, ready to use. Using a test light, determine if the PTO light is wired to a constant 12-volt source or to an ignition "ON" 12-volt source. If the wire leading to the PTO light is an ignition "ON" 12volt source, you must use the diode supplied with the kit. Splice the diode into the 12-volt wire, before the PTO light,with the white band of the diode installed on the PTO light end. Again this is only for ignition "ON" 12-volt power. If the PTO light is powered by a constant 12-volt source,you do not need the diode

4. Connect the ORANGE wire of the control module's 5 position connector to the ORANGE wire of the 2nd channel accessory relay. This optional relay may not be used in your application. See accessory relay diagram for its wiring instructions. If 2nd channel is not required, ORANGE wire should be insulated for later use, if needed

5. Connect the RED wire of the control module's 5 position connector to a constant 12-volt power source.Utilizing a test light, you can find this constant 12-volt power source on the fuse block panel under the dash.

3 Position Connector Wiring:

1. Locate the vehicle's main ignition wire. On a Ford engine you can use the main ignition wire coming from the ignition module. This ignition module is on the right side of the engine, near the radiator. After locating the ignition module, look for two wire sockets coming from it. Only one of the wire sockets will have two red wires coming from it, away from the ignition module . With the engine running, use a test light and probe the red wires to determine which wire is "ignition hot". On a Chevy or GMC engine, this ignition wire will be at the distributor. This would be a pink ignition wire that, when cut or interrupted, would kill the engine.

2. Cut ignition wire and connect the ignition switch side of the cut to the RED 14awg wire of the control module's 3 position connector.

3. Connect the ignition module or distributor side of the cut to the ORANGE 14awg wire of the control module's 3 position connector

4. Control module's YELLOW 14awg wire does not have a connection in this application and the wire should be insulated for possible later use, if needed.

5. We recommend mounting the antenna in the rear window. The 9 feet of lead wire will allow this. Starting from the control module, run the antenna lead wire upwards along the rear window molding. Wire hanging clips with adhesive backing can be used to secure the antenna lead in place. We suggest going to the center of the rear window, but some trial placement may be necessary to find the optimum range. There is adhesive backing on the center of the antenna. Fasten it to the window glass. Mounting location should be away from metal. Any excess antenna lead should be coiled into a figure 8 shape.

TESTING THE SYSTEM

1. Start truck engine.
2. Place PTO in gear. PTO is turning pump.
3. PTO light is illuminated
4. Holding remote transmitter, press the LEFT BUTTON on the transmitter.
5. Engine will shut down.
6. For trucks with a Rego Flowmatic Internal Valve, when the truck engine shuts off, the PTO stops turning the pump, therefore, the Flowmatic internal valve in the cargo tank shuts down to stop the flow of liquid.
7. If the truck has a Fisher 400 Series Internal Valve or a Rego A3217 Internal Valve, on an air actuating cylinder, follow the additional instructions for installing the AIR SOLENOID VALVE.
8. After the initial successful testing of the Remote Engine Shut-Down System, move away from the truck and test for transmitting distance. Previous test results have shown that we should be able to have successful engine shut down at a distance of at least 150 to 175 feet.

NOTE: The technical service department can help you troubleshoot problems. However , you may be able to reread the instructions and solve your problem. If you cannot come up with an answer, call the manufacturer at 800-382-7233. If you have a problem or question regarding any wiring connections,you can call your local truck garage and ask them for advice. But if all else fails , call the manufacturer and they can give you assistance.

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
AIR SOLENOID VALVE

Utilize on trucks with air activated internal valves-Fisher 400 series or Rego A3217
1. Recommended location for the air solenoid valve is inside the cab, behind the driver's seat. It can be mounted in the lower corner of the rear wall. This will also place it in the vicinity of the control module.

2. Fasten the air solenoid to the mounting bracket, Model 2600. Drill two 5/16" holes through the metal wall of the cab. Fasten the valve bracket to the cab wall with the 8/32" screws that are packaged with the bracket.

3. Wiring: Splice a 16awg wire into the 14awg ORANGE wire leading from the control module's 3-position connector. This provides 12 volts of current to the air solenoid valve when the ignition switch is in the "on" position. Attach the other end of the 16 awg wire to the air solenoid valve. Attach to one of the two terminals at the top of the valve. The other top terminal should be attached to a chassis ground. The bottom terminal on the solenoid is not to be used.

4. Air line routing: Wearing safety glasses, go up under the cargo tank where the pump is installed. Locate the air line for the internal valve that runs from the air actuating cylinder to the manual emergency shutdown switch. This is the activation switch that is mounted on the driver's side of the chassis. Cut into this air line between the manual emergency shutdown switch and the air actuating cylinder. Use air line compression fittings for connecting the spliced air lines. Do not use compression fittings normally used for copper or aluminum lines. They are susceptible to vibration and will generally start to leak after a time. Splice and run the air line closest to the manual air valve to the inlet of the 12-volt air solenoid in the cab. Then run another air line from the outlet of the air solenoid to the air line leading to the air actuating cylinder.

NOTE: Plumb the air solenoid valve into the air lines separate from the air actuated power takeoff air supply lines. This allows the PTO to still remain activated with air pressure, and thus the ground from the PTO is still intact going up to the PTO light. This will keep the remote shutdown system armed, and will maintain a "shutdown" and "closed" status on the truck engine and pumping system. By splicing this air line at a point between the manual emergency actuating switch and the air actuating cylinder, we only have to exhaust the small volume of air pressure contained in about eight feet of ¼" OD plastic tubing.

5. When the truck engine is shut down by the remote, this also interrupts power to the air solenoid cylinder at the internal valve. At the same time the inlet closes, the exhaust vent opens through the top of the air solenoid, relieving all air pressure downstream to the internal valve, allowing it to close. It has been shown that the air solenoid valve can exhaust the in line air pressure just as quickly as the manual actuating switch, which is already on our trucks. You can test this air solenoid in the same manner that we test our manual emergency actuating valve. While the pumping back into the cargo tank at a normal 1000 rpms, remove the power lead from the terminal on the air solenoid. With the engine still running and PTO still turning the pump, our test vehicle stopped transferring liquid. We performed this test several times and always stopped liquid transfer in two to four gallons. This was comparable to tests with the manual emergency switch.
