G7 Bridge can be hardwired to a vehicle’s 12 or 24 VDC power system with the two-wire hardwire cable (ACC-BRG-HRD) to provide continuous power to the device.

Blackline recommends that you consider wiring G7 Bridge to a circuit that is switched off when the ignition key is removed (i.e., an ignition-switched circuit). This approach, compared to wiring to a circuit with continuous power, stops G7 Bridge from drawing down the vehicle’s battery over time for long-term storage applications (more than one week). If you choose to wire G7 Bridge to a circuit with continuous power, turn off or unplug Bridge when it is not in use to avoid draining the vehicle battery.

G7 Bridge consumes up to 1.0 A of peak current. Confirm that the target circuit can handle the additional load.

Wiring can be done through the center/rear brake light, or another external power source. During installation, confirm that the cable is properly grounded.

Blackline Safety recommends that an automotive service center install Bridge for you. Installation time varies depending on the installation, your vehicle model, and takes approximately 15 to 90 minutes. Please read through the following installation instructions before you begin.
