Using the Blue Sea 9012 L Solenoid Switch is quite straightforward. First, make sure your system is either 12V or 24V DC as this switch is designed for these voltages. Connect the control circuit using the 20 AWG tinned wire provided. You can place the ON - OFF switch wherever it's most convenient for you to activate the solenoid switch. When using it, keep in mind that it can handle different amperage ratings depending on the wire size you use. For continuous use, choose the appropriate wire size according to your power needs. Regarding maintenance, check the terminal stud torque regularly to ensure it remains at 90 in - lb (10.17 Nm). Also, since this product contains chemicals that can be harmful, always handle it with care. If you're in California, be aware of the potential health risks and visit P65Warnings.ca.gov for more details. Keep the switch clean and free from moisture as its contacts are hermetically sealed, which helps protect it from vapor, but extra care can extend its lifespan. With a 1,000,000 switching cycle rating, it should serve you well for a long time as long as you follow these simple steps.
