DEI 528T Pulse Timer Wiring Diagram - Intake Heater Grid & Ford Starter Relay
Wiring diagram for a DEI 528T pulse timer controlling a diesel intake-heater grid: lead colors, 30A reversing-polarity relay (pins 85/87a/86/30/87), Ford starter relay terminals and #6 gauge wire runs.
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.
