    Baintech GU Rear Control Panel Install

    I’ve just been handed an Baintech control panel it’s the one that mounts in the rear of the GU. Just one problem I’m no wizard with electrical. I was wondering if anybody has one if so are the good and what wires did you wire it up to in the vehicle... If anybody has the installation guide for it that would be fantastic.

    Thanks

    Is this what you are referring to? Baintech are generally considered to serve the higher end of the market, so should be a good bit of gear.

    EDIT:
    Aha..... I see that in fact you are most likely referring to this, which shows no installation instructions. I imagine installation would be pretty straightforward, but probably best to use the link on this page to contact Baintech & ask for installation instructions/advice if no one here has what you need.

    You will need to run some 8B&S cable or good quality 6mm wire from your second battery down to your control panel.

    Good idea to also use conduit over the cable.

    You will also need to fit a circuit breaker as close as possible to you second battery and wire it into the positive cable.

    If you don't have a second battery you may also want to install an isolation solenoid or VSR, so you don't flatten your cranking battery when the engine isn't running.

    Kev, do you mean wiring diagram for the panel itself? If you do, run a red wire from the circuit breaker and a black from the black piggy back to the right of the circuit breaker.
