smev micro tap

can anyone help i have two wires on tap and thought it was live and earth but just blows fuse each tim i put in thanks in advance for any help

 

Isn't one wire live In and the other live switched out?

 

not sure i have no instructions think you are right so as i turn on it becomes live

 

the tap has a micro switch internal

 

Yes the tap is the switch, live in live out

 

Yeah that.

 

so do i need to run a wire from live to both one in and live out to where

 

so from the tap to a pump is this correct

 

Yup, imagine the tap is basically a switch just like a light switch.

Live from fuse box to tap, tap to live terminal of the pump and then the other terminal of the pump to earth.

 

yes thats right sorted now cheers

 

I've just fitted one yesterday.

The two wires from the tap are flow and return.

The way I've connected it is one wire to a positive feed then the other to the positive wire of the pump while the negative wire straight to the negative of my leisure battery. I'm thinking of putting an inline fuse in.

 

i dont think the earths have to go back to the battery i think you can bolt to body

 

Yes that is right but I wish to keep all my addons coming just of the leisure battery .

 

The leisure battery - should be attached to the body, then there is no need to run any back to the battery

 

thats right kilmo mine is

 

This is also true but as yet it is a stand alone battery until I purchase the bits for split charging and the tap and L/B are so close it was easier than drilling and fixing a bolt down point.

 

I've had mine fitted for a year and never managed to get it to work, might try today....... Again. So, live from the leisure battery ( via the fuse holder)......where does the other wire go?

 

So then the first pic shows the black wire from the tap and the second shows the tap end. I'm wanting to wire the black into the fuse holder from the leisure battery. Where would the brown wire go ?

 

brown wire to the pump

 

Where's the pump ?
