Waterproof Fuse and Relay Boxes - RFRM (10 relay) & RTMR (5 Relay) no Blue Sea/ SPOD

I wasn't thinking. You have the otrattw Carlin switches? I could send you some terminated backs complimentary. Call me or shoot an email

 

+1

 

Do you have switch backs as well?

 

He will. I am sending them to him as a gift.

 

Hey sky! Do your boxes come with the generic two piece mounts that bussmann offers for the unit??

 

So I am on the fence on this.

Read thru the first few pages of this thread before realizing it was 83 pages long.

Keep in mind I only know basic wiring to relays, fuses, switches and basic accesories, so answers must be in "english" haha.

I have a blue sea fuse box along with a resetable breaker for the fuse box installed in my taco, but would like this setup for my 4runner build.

So pardon me if these questions have been asked.

1. Are the only options available RTMR 5 relays 10 fuses and RFRM 10 relays 40 fuses?

2. Can I come up with another configuration, say: 10 relays and 20 fuses?

3. What is this "automatic charging relay switch" shown in the OP pictures?

4. How can a breaker automatically reset? I currently have something like this on my taco's bluesea fuse box that I manually reset if it ever trips: http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Blue-Sea-187-Series-Thermal-Circuit-Breaker-Panel-Mount-150A&i=84985&r=view&cvsfa=2586&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=3834393835&kpid=84985&gclid=CNqUwY739sQCFUo7gQodDV0AUQ

5. In the first picture of OP, I noticed there are two fuses in line per relay. Does this mean those two fuses are connected to that specific relay?

6. In regards to question five, if all fuses are connected to relays. What if I have an accessory that does not require a relay? Wouldn't the relay turn on the two devices at the same time?

7. Are these standard relays?

Like I said, I am only familiar with basic wiring, so if I could get these answered in plain english please.

 

1. yes
2. yes. You do not need to use all the fuses or relays on a block.
3. The Automatic Charging relay is for a dual battery setup. I do not sell them. There is no Margin for me and I see them on EBAY for cheaper than cost all the time.
4. Most breakers are thermal. I was looking for the link explaining them all. Its in this thread somewhere. there are 3 types. Basically, when the issue is gone, (fault or short or over draw) the breaker will trip itself.
5. No. There are infinite possibilities for these and can be wired however you want.
6. you can have these configured however you want. the 5 relay 10 fuse box is actually a 5 fused relay, 5 fuse box due to the way each has to be setup.
7.these are SPDT relays. Not sure what you mean by standard. They are relays and as long as the accessory falls in the parameters within normal operating variables of the relay. Then yes, they are 'standard' relays.

 

Hey man can you post a little video on how to crimp packard 630? I keep jacking my terminals up :/.

 

Yes. What die are you using? Gauge wire?

 

I have to admit, after seeing the box with my name on it and the electrical box to go with it, I'm just a little stoked. I had some rather bad thoughts directed at Skygear, but I'm feeling rather optimistic towards the world now. That could be the alcohol that I had with dinner, but lets not go all jaded now.

 

I am using 18922 die from the tool aid crimper. I am trying to crimp 14 gauge wire.


Trying to do this

 

Ok trying to video now.

 

ok. cool thank you.

 

Got hungry, my mount sucks for the cam. It'll be up in an hour or so. Have to get some food in me for energy. Going to pull another all nighter on the boxes.

 

No worries.

 

I've got a box coming, switches, some new Ridgids, and some Wurton pods. Could be a busy weekend. Don't tell my wife.

 

Thank you.

So I can tell you what fuse slot I want to pair with what relay?

So is there a separate location for all the grounds on this box?

I like the weather connectors you are using, are these the power out to accessory?

Are you also using weather connectors for wiring from in cab power switch to the fuse box?

I've seen plenty of pictures on the thread but I still a little confused with all the wires coming out of it. I guess after I get one I'd make sense.

Would it help if I tell you everything I want accessory wise?

By regular relays I mean I can walk into an auto store and buy one from there if one of the "stock" ones go bad..

If my accessory came with its own relay, I could chop it off and wire to this?

 

yes the box is 100% confiqurable. The relays are Micro/ Mini relays. Most places should have them. If you are worried about them going bad, get a spare with the box. Most of the time relays fail due to corrosion. The elements getting in there. They are an electro magnet/ motor internally and the failure rate on them is slim to none.

 

Can I get the status of my order?
