PROTECTING TRUCK TAILGATES<br />

APPLICATION<br />

INSTALLATION<br />

RECOMMENDED<br />

PRODUCTS<br />

Roll-up truck tailgates can be protected with magnetic contacts that have<br />

sufficient durability, gap and vibration resistance.<br />

Select location for switch on wood or aluminum on the truck side just forward<br />

of the track. It is best to mount near the top, at a point where the track<br />

starts bending.<br />

Install by placing spacers behind switch to build out slightly beyond track.<br />

Mount magnet on tailgate door using bracket. Position magnet and switch as close<br />

as possible with door closed. Mount end of magnet about 1/2" (1.27 cm) past end<br />

of switch. Make sure Sentrol labels read in same direction.<br />

Test. Wire in leads and dress wires into place.<br />

Do not hook directly into high-current circuit, such as vehicle horn. Use relay if<br />

switching more than 1/4 amp.<br />
