Permanent wiring of Glow Wire

For a permanent electrical installation the plug can be removed (this will affect your warranty) allowing the Glow Wire to be wired directly to your car's 12 volt power supply through an inline switch. When connecting to 12V on your vehicle it is very important that the Black wire (negative) is connected to the negative on your vehicle, and the Red wire (positive) is connected to positive. If they are connected incorrectly the inverter will be damaged. An inline switch should be positioned along the Red (positive) wire. A FUSE MUST BE FITTED TO THE + WIRE AS NEAR TO THE BATTERY AS POSSIBLE. Any car electrician would be able to do this, if needed.

The 12v wire to the inverter can be extended with additional 12v wire, make sure you keep the polarity the same, i.e red to red and black to black. The wire to the Glow Wire can also be extended, this is non polarized meaning it does not have a positive or negative.

If you need to cut the Glow Wire - the end should be sealed with heat shrink tube

Offcuts of Glow Wire can be reconnected.

One inverter can power several lengths of Glow Wire, simply wire in parallel.
