This hand-drawn wiring diagram shows how to wire a DEI 528T pulse timer to control an intake heater grid (a "wait to start" glow/grid heater setup) using a 30 amp reversing-polarity relay and a Ford starter relay. The DEI 528T pulse timer's leads are labeled: orange lead not used, brown lead, yellow lead (connects to ignition 12+), blue loop left uncut, black w/stripe, black (to ground), and red (to 12+ constant power). The 30 amp relay's terminals are labeled 85, 87a, 86, 30, and 87. An LED wait-to-start light has a red lead and a black lead, with the black lead connected to ground. The Ford starter relay has two 3/8" terminals and a 1/8" terminal; heavy #6 gauge wire runs from the starter relay's 3/8" terminals to the intake heater grid's two 3/8" terminals and to a 12+ battery terminal. From this document a reader can learn which pulse timer leads to connect to ignition power, constant power, and ground, which wire gauge (#6) to use for the high-current heater grid circuit, and how the relay terminals interconnect for a diesel-style intake heater grid installation.

Frequently asked questions

What wire gauge is used to connect the intake heater grid?
#6 gauge wire is used between the Ford starter relay 3/8" terminals, the intake heater grid 3/8" terminals, and the 12+ battery terminal.
Which DEI 528T lead is not used?
The orange lead is not used, and the blue loop is left uncut.
Where does the DEI 528T red lead connect?
The red lead connects to 12+ constant power.
What relay is used with the pulse timer?
A 30 amp reversing-polarity relay with terminals 85, 87a, 86, 30, and 87, plus a Ford starter relay with two 3/8" terminals and one 1/8" terminal.
What does the LED in the diagram indicate?
The LED serves as a 'wait to start' light; its black lead connects to ground.
