 Topic: 8000 electrical relay
Posted: 06 Jun 2017 at 11:10pm |

Shame on me for not having a manual yet. I just ordered it tonight from jensales. In my new to me 8030 the two 30 amp relays under the dash are strapped together in a very factory looking manner in parallel as to create a 60 amp over current device. There are a pair of 12 gauge, one 16 gauge, an 8, and a 6 gauge wires all strapped down here all in the factory harness, this doesn't look right to me although all of the wires are factory. I was looking to use one 30 amp relay to power my baler monitor, but I need help making since of what I have here. My manual is on the way, but I need to get this set up. Thanks

I'd need to see the wiring diagram. Personally I'd rather drive a fuse block with one larger relay. I'm also curious of how they terminate one large #6 wire onto the relatively smaller 30 amp relay terminals. I suspect that the two relays aren't paralleled per se, but are two relays with a common feed and separate outputs.

So the top wire with the big end is the 12 volt source through the firewall. The 3wires under it feed the fuse block and the second biggest wire below feeds the ignition switch. This cannot be the proper placement and strapping for the relays.

Well first I will say that those aren't relays they are breakers. Next I would ask what is wrong with that setup. All 3 of my 8000 tractors are that way.
To run your baler monitor just land on one of the terminals on the line side of the breakers. If you don't have an inline fuse on the supply for the monitor I would put one in. That's how I run my planter monitor and air ride seat.

Yes breakers, not relays. Okay glad to know there is no issue here. It just appeared odd to parallel two overcurrent devices. Thanks so much.

Obviously, that junction is for constant Battery feed power. You could go off the left side below the other lead on that junction to take Battery power to run your monitor. As Racer mentioned, fuse or install a circuit breaker accordingly (find out how many amps the monitor uses to determine fuse size) run it through a high amp switch (or toggle switch if less than 10 amps) to power your monitor so the line and monitor are protected. You should be good ta' go....
