[QUOTE="Rich B, post: 8464712, member: 571023"] The RF's turn on circuit might draw more current than the MTX. You may need to use a relay on the turn on wire. Connecting Additional Devices to the Remote Turn On Wire Using a 30 amp SPDT relay, connect terminal [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=87"]#87[/URL] to constant 12 volts positive with a fuse rated to the sum of the additional accessories you've added and the components you need to turn on. (If you have two fans rated at 5 amps each and a neon light rated at 10 amps, you would use a 20 amp fuse plus 200 ma for each amplifier and processor.) Connect terminal [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=85"]#85[/URL] to ground, terminal [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=86"]#86[/URL] to the remote turn on wire from the head unit, and terminal [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=30"]#30[/URL] to each accessory with an appropriate fuse. A fuse (not shown) could also be used between the output of the relay ([URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=30"]#30[/URL] ) and the remote turn on wire of the amplifiers and/or processors for extra precaution.
