Blue Sea add a battery help.
I am trying to get my blue sea add a battery all wired up today. I have got a wiring diagram that Al (cab13367) posted about his install. My question is with the diagram that Al drew up, are we looking at the back of the switch like I have pictured or is it the front? I assume it is the back. I just want to make sure. Thanks for your help.

Its referenced to how the batteries hook up as to the direction of the switch.
In Als drawing its as if you looking from the SWITCH side facing you.
Jakes drawing is the same but looking at the back of the Switch.
I guess to make it simple.
Hold the Switch facing you as if you were going to Turn it. Then wire it up like Als drawing.
Mike,
That is what I thought, thanks for the clarification. That is how I wired it.

I finally got everything wired up. I'm still having an issue. I wired it just like the diagram that Al posted. The problem that I am having is that the led light on the ACR is flashing which I believe means "Isolated start isolation" according to the manual. My head unit won't turn on because of this. If I turn the Dual Circuit Plus switch to the "on" position with my remote power wire from the head unit connected to the remote wire from the switch on the dash the ACR will flash and the head unit won't turn on. Now if I disconnect that wire and turn the Dual Circuit Plus switch to the "on" position and wait for the led to turn solid, I can connect the remote wire from the head unit and it will work, until I switch the Dual Circuit Plus switch off and then back on. It resets itself to the flashing led. I hope all that makes sense. If anyone has any ideas of what to try next I would love to hear them. Thanks for the help guys.

Al,
I got it figured out. I had forgotten to put the jumper from battery 1 to battery 2. Once I added that everything worked great. Thanks for checking back.

The model # is 9100e? Ill have to take a picture tomorrow. No clue what am ACR is, and no there will not be an inboard charger at this time.
Thanks for replying to my pm Al.
I have to figure out a parts list other than the switch and some wire.
I may just end up paying to have this done when I get down to SC, too much going on with the move.

Most likely settling in Fort Mill by Lake Wylie. We're renting in Charlotte for 3 mos while we look for a house.
