WARRANTY: When you purchase a California Heat garment, the Finewire heating elements and wires are under warranty for the life of the product. All other components of the garment are covered for factory defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of the first retail purchase. This ONLY applies to the original owner purchasing from an Authorized Dealer (Including The Warming Store). Batteries are under warranty for ninety days, and should be charged regularly. Temperature controllers are covered for two years. A receipt or valid proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
Battery Harness Hookup
The battery harness has an inline fuse on the positive (red) lead.The fuses that are included are Violet for 3 amp, Peach for 5 amp, Brown for 7.5 amp, Red for 10 amp and Blue for 15 amp, Yellow for 20 amp.
The amp draw below is rated at 12 volts. The output on your motorcycle will be between 13.8 and 14.2 volts. To calculate your true amp draw divide the amp draw on all items you are going to hook up by 12 them multiply by your motorcycle volt output.
Example: gloves 2.4 plus jacket 6.4 = 8.8 / 12 = .7333 x 14 = 10.99. You need to use the next higher rated fuse (blue for 15 amp).
- Gloves pull 2.4 amps
- Socks pull 2.2 amps
- Jacket pulls 6.4 amps
- Pants pull 4.6 amps
Connect the red lead to the positive terminal on your battery and the black lead to the negative. Zip tie the coax under your seat on the left side if you do not intend to install a panel mount port.
Dual Digital Temperature Controller
The red lead to your temperature controller hooks up to the battery harness under your seat. The white lead on the temperature controller is for your jacket and plugs into the white coded plug at the bottom inside pocket of your jacket liner. The black lead hooks up to the black plug next to your jacket plug in your jacket.
To turn your controller on, after you have started your bike, hold the button down for three seconds. There are five settings on the controller: 1 is 20% power, 2 = 40%, 3 = 60%, 4 = 80% and 5 = 100%. To turn you controller off hold the button down for three seconds. If you would like the same settings for your next ride, do not turn off controller! Just unplug it and the memory will kick in!
Your heated clothing gets very hot and can cause burns that you may not notice while riding. You should not leave your settings on the controller at 100% except to initially warm up you gear. You need to turn down the heat to a comfortable setting after that, for instance 3 for 60% power.
