FAQs

What is the maximum amperage each switch can handle?

Each switch on the Grayston panel is rated for a maximum of 30 amps.

Does the panel come with fuses?

No, the panel itself does not include integrated fuses. It is recommended to install appropriate fuses or circuit breakers at the power source for each circuit controlled by the panel.

Can I use this for accessories drawing more than 30 amps?

For accessories drawing more than 30 amps, you must use an external relay. The switch on the panel will then control the relay, which in turn powers the high-draw accessory.

What are the dimensions of the panel?

The dimensions of the Grayston Carbon Effect Starter Switch Panel are 135mm in length and 60mm in width.

Is this panel suitable for everyday street vehicles?

While the panel is robust, it is primarily designed for motorsport enthusiasts and custom applications. Installation requires electrical knowledge, and it lacks features like illumination found in many street-vehicle switch panels.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the warranty information provided by the retailer or Grayston for specific warranty details.

How is the panel powered?

The panel operates on a standard 12-volt DC electrical system. The wiring harness connects to the vehicle's 12V power supply.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not activate accessory.

Verify the 12V power supply to the panel. Check all wiring connections to the switch and the accessory. Ensure the accessory itself is functional and within the 30A rating of the switch. If using high-draw accessories, ensure an external relay is correctly wired.

Starter button does not crank the engine.

Confirm the starter button is wired correctly to the starter solenoid circuit. Check the 12V power supply to the button. Ensure the engine has sufficient power and is in neutral/park if applicable.

Panel sparks or overheats.

Immediately disconnect power. Check for short circuits in the wiring. Ensure the accessory's amperage draw does not exceed the switch's 30A rating. If exceeding 30A, an external relay must be used.

Toggle switch cover is stiff or won't close.

Gently check for obstructions. Ensure the switch is mounted correctly and not under stress. If damaged, the switch may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction with a brushed alloy panel.
  • High amperage rating (30A) on all switches suitable for demanding applications.
  • Includes a dedicated starter button with protective cover.
  • Versatile with three additional 30A accessory switches.
  • Comes with a full wiring harness for simplified installation.
  • Compact dimensions (135 x 60mm) fit most dashboards.

Cons

  • Requires basic electrical wiring knowledge for installation.
  • Not suitable for circuits exceeding 30 amps per switch.
  • Carbon effect finish may scratch over time with heavy use.
  • Toggle switch cover might be cumbersome for some users.
  • No integrated circuit protection (e.g., fuses) provided with the panel itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plan Layout: Determine the optimal mounting location for the panel within your vehicle's dashboard or console.
  2. Wiring: Connect the provided wiring harness according to your vehicle's electrical system and the specific components you intend to control. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
  3. Power Source: Connect the main power input of the harness to a suitable 12-volt power source, preferably fused at the source.
  4. Component Connections: Wire each switch to the respective auxiliary electrical component (e.g., fuel pump, lights).
  5. Testing: Before final mounting, test each switch to confirm it operates the intended component.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Designed for 12-volt DC systems.
  • Amperage: Suitable for devices drawing up to 30 amps per switch. For higher loads, external relays are recommended.
  • Fitment: Universal, but requires a flat surface of at least 135 x 60mm for mounting.

Care:

  • Clean the brushed alloy panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Ensure the flip-up cover on the toggle switch operates freely.
  • Periodically check wiring connections for corrosion or looseness.
