Introduction

A breaker switch is an essential upgrade for safely and conveniently controlling power to your taxi top sign. Installing a breaker switch allows you to turn the sign off when the vehicle is off, preventing your car battery from draining due to the sign still receiving power. Whether you’re using a 12-volt outlet, car battery, or standard power supply, this setup ensures your taxi top sign operates efficiently and reliably.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to add a breaker switch to your setup, giving you peace of mind and full control over your sign’s power.

What You’ll Need

Before starting, make sure you have the following:

• Breaker switch
• Power cable for your taxi top sign
• Wire splitter
• Screwdriver
• Connectors (if needed)

Step 1: Prepare the Positive Wire

Locate the positive wire on your power cable. Split the wire into two parts:

• One end will connect to the input terminal of the breaker switch.
• The other end will connect to the output terminal and lead to your power supply.

Step 2: Connect the Breaker Switch

1. Take the first end of the positive wire and attach it to the input terminal of the breaker switch.
2. Tighten the connection securely using a screwdriver.
3. Attach the second end of the positive wire to the output terminal of the breaker switch and secure it.

Step 3: Connect to the Power Supply

1. Attach the output wire from the breaker switch to the positive terminal of your power supply.
2. Connect the black (negative) wire from the power cable to the negative terminal of the power supply.

Step 4: Test Your Setup

Turn on your power supply and check that your taxi top sign powers up. Press the breaker switch to turn the sign off and press it again to turn it back on. Ensure that the connections are secure and the switch operates smoothly.

Tips for a Successful Installation

• Double-check connections: Ensure all wires are securely tightened to avoid loose connections.
• Use proper tools: A quality screwdriver and connectors will make installation smoother.
• Test early: After connecting the breaker switch, test it before mounting the sign.

Conclusion

Installing a breaker switch for your taxi top sign is a straightforward process that enhances safety and convenience. With this upgrade, you can easily control the power to your sign, ensuring it’s always ready to grab attention.
