ISIS update

I didn't use the ISIS system but like Bob used the Laser (II) set up. I have the wiring diagram of that.

Sambo,

I have made diagrams of the Laser connectors but I have altered them as earthing for ISIS. Let me know if you can't get any and I'll redraw them.

Bob,

I too have a toggle switch for the wipers and I'm going to change the headlights to a toggle too - the same as you have done.
I have to admit that I have taken the wimps way out for circuits like the handbrake light. I have installed a fuse block that is energised through the ISIS ignition circuit. That gives me some options for discreet circuits like the handbrake. I also have another fuse block energised by ISIS through the accessory switch position for a radio and other future items.

Bob,

I don't know if your regs. require an audible warning in the dash for indicators. You may have to wire in a relay.
The system is great for tracking faults. When you connect you circuits and insert the fuse you get a status LED on the Powercell to confirm that that all is well in that circuit. If there's a problem the status won't light and the circuit won't be energised - a whole lot better than smoke!!

Yes please Merv, send it through. Here's my last post on the topic and where I'm currently at:

Peter,
Great minds think alike. I have done the same.

It's finished,

All the wiring is complete except for the boot light and door switches. All was going well until yesterday morning when it all turned pear shaped. I couldn't get any outputs from the Powercells. I started to go through the wiring and worked my way to the rear lights - it didn't make any sense. By chance I connected a test light in series with the battery and it it blew. When I checked the battery voltage it was 18 volts (yep I don't believe it either). I bought a new batttery and everything worked again. ISIS must have detected the over-voltage and closed the circuits. A bit of a tip for others using this system and you have an isolating switch. When you switch it on you must wait until the Mastercell has completed it's integrity check ie the display finishes scrolling before you turn on any circuits as those circuits will be blocked and they won't function until you turn the power off and back on.
The security circuits are working and the park lights flash a confimation when the remote is pressed.
