Mounting the Cells The RCR body panels have mounting holes pre-cut in them for the ISIS MASTERCELL and POWERCELLs. Use 1/4-20 bolts to mount cells to the body panels. Bolts should be tightened so that they are snug but do not over-tighten to crush the mounts. The POWERCELLs each have a unique address that identifies the cell to the MASTERCELL. There are red jumpers that set the address on each cell. The cell set as address 1 is to be mounted in the front of the car. POWERCELL 2 should be mounted in the rear of the car. Figure 1 shows the jumper configurations to identify the front and rear POWERCELLs. Figure 1: Identifying the Front & Rear POWERCELLs 11

Figure 7: Wiper Motor Wire Connections. 7. Connect input wires to switches on dash per the following table. Wire Color Function White-Blue Ignition White-Yellow Starter Tan-Yellow One-Button Start White-Red Horn White-Black Output of trinary switch on Vintage Air Controller Yellow-Blue 4-Way Flashers Black Ground* * Use the black wires as the ground reference for the switches. You have the option to use separate inputs for ignition and starter or the ISIS One Button Start. This is an either-or choice. Tape up the unused input wires to make sure that they do not accidentally contact ground or other inputs. If you choose to use separate inputs for the ignition and starter, you can either use a traditional keyed switch or separate switches. Use the black wires included in this harness to ground one side of the switch. The input wire corrects to the other terminal on the switch. In the case of a traditional keyed ignition switch, connect the ignition wire to the IGN terminal on the switch, the starter wire to START and connect one of the black ground wires to the B+ terminal. 21
If you choose to use the one button start, simply connect the Tan-Yellow input wire to a momentary button. Connect one of the black ground wires to the other terminal on the switch. The ISIS One-Button Start function works this way. Pressing and releasing the button turns on the ignition and switched accessories. Pressing and releasing the button again will turn off the ignition and switched accessories. To start the car, press and hold the button. The ignition will turn on and after 1 second, the starter will crank. Hold the button until the engine starts. When it is released the starter will drop out but the ignition and switched accessories will be powered. To shut off the engine, press and release the button again. 22
Connecting the CAN Cables 1. Connect CAN Cable A to socket CM1 on the MASTERCELL and socket CF2 on the front POWERCELL. 2.

Connecting the Cooling Fan Trigger Wire to the GM Fuse Box As described in the previous section, the blue-yellow wire going to the MASTERCELL is the cooling fan trigger. It is designed to be spliced into the output of the cooling fan relay on the GM fuse box. Cut the cooling fan wire to length and strip it ½ inch. Crimp the butt-splice connector for the cooling fan trigger wire to the fan output from the GM fuse box and use a heat gun to shrink the protective covering over the wire. Using the ISIS inlink Key Fobs Your ISIS kit for the SLC includes the inlink RF option. From the key fobs, you can control the functions in the car. See Figure 8 for the pre-set functions on the fob. Figure 8: inlink Key Fob Buttons 24
When security is enabled from inlink, you will get one flash of the parking lights to verify that it is set. With security enabled, the inputs for the ignition, fuel pump, starter and one-button start are completely disabled. You will note a message on the MASTERCELL insight LCD screen that tells you that security is enabled if you try to activate any of these functions. The MASTERCELL will allow the car to be started only when security is disabled. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm that security is disabled. 25
Appendix 1: Connecting Cooling Fan Input to MASTERCELL Connector Follow these instructions to connect the Blue-Yellow wire from the CAN harness into the input connector on the MASTERCELL. 1. Press a small flat-head screwdriver on the white tab and remove the clear retainer. See Figure A1. Figure A1: Removing the MASTERCELL Retainer 2.
