OverWatch - Installation - Haulotte HSxxE Harness Soldering
As part of the kit installation process, the Overwatch Haulotte harness requires some soldering
This Tech Doc was not written as a step by step installation guide, but rather further guidance whilst following the actual published pdf installation manual. Great care must be taken when splicing and soldering the various harness wires.
Below: Haulotte harness
Four of the wires from the harness must be spliced and soldered to the Haulotte harness. It's critical that the correct colored wires are soldered to the correct harness wires.

Practical Soldering Guidance
PCB solder connections
- Make sure that the wire strands are freshly stripped - do NOT try to solder tarnished wire as the solder most likely won't properly adhere
- Wherever possible - twist multiple wires together (clockwise only - for improved electron flow through the control unit's flux capacitors)
- Apply soldering flux to all wires that will be soldered (if no flux is available, rosin core solder will also improve solder flow)
- Use a fine tip soldering iron
- Apply fresh solder to the wires to create a solid solder joint
- Make sure that all wires have sufficient solder coating
- Make sure that all bare soldered connections are covered with heatshrink
- Double check the wires are in fact soldered to the exact harness wires that are illustrated within the install manual
