This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of the Maypole 3885B 2-Way Smart Load Device for LED Indicators. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation.
The Maypole 3885B is designed to ensure proper functioning of LED indicators in automotive applications, preventing hyper-flashing or non-flashing issues often associated with low-power LED bulbs replacing traditional incandescent bulbs. It provides a suitable load for systems expecting higher current draw.

Bezpečnostní informace
- Před prováděním jakýchkoli elektrických prací vždy odpojte baterii vozidla.
- Ensure proper insulation of all connections to prevent short circuits.
- Nepřekračujte stanovený objemtage (10-30 V) or wattage (1.2-5.0 W) ratings.
- Install the device in a location protected from extreme heat, moisture, and physical damage.
- If unsure about any installation step, consult a qualified automotive electrician.
Nastavení a instalace
The Maypole 3885B is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Identifikace zapojení: Locate the wiring for the LED indicators you intend to correct. This device is typically wired in parallel with the LED bulb.
- Vyberte umístění: Select a secure, dry location for mounting the 3885B device. Ensure it is away from moving parts and excessive heat.
- Připojit dráty:
- Connect one wire from the 3885B to the positive (+) wire of the LED indicator circuit.
- Connect the other wire from the 3885B to the negative (-) or ground wire of the LED indicator circuit.
Note: The device is non-polarised, meaning the two wires can be connected in either orientation to the positive and negative terminals of the circuit.
- Zabezpečená připojení: Use appropriate electrical connectors (e.g., crimp connectors, solder and heat shrink) to ensure secure and insulated connections.
- Montážní zařízení: Securely mount the 3885B device using screws or cable ties through its mounting tabs.
- Test funkčnosti: Reconnect the vehicle's battery and test the LED indicators to ensure they flash at the correct rate.
Provozní principy
The Maypole 3885B is a passive device that operates by providing an electrical load to the vehicle's flasher relay or body control module (BCM). Modern vehicles are designed to detect bulb outages by monitoring current draw. LED bulbs draw significantly less current than traditional incandescent bulbs, leading the vehicle's system to interpret this as a bulb failure, resulting in hyper-flashing (rapid blinking) or no flashing at all.
By connecting the 3885B in parallel with the LED indicator, it draws additional current, simulating the load of an incandescent bulb. This tricks the vehicle's system into recognizing a proper load, thereby restoring the normal flash rate of the LED indicators.
Údržba
The Maypole 3885B Smart Load Device is designed to be maintenance-free. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- Vizuální kontrola: Periodically inspect the device and its wiring for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Integrita připojení: Ensure all electrical connections remain secure and insulated.
- Čistota: Keep the device free from excessive dirt or debris, though its sealed design minimizes this concern.
No internal components are user-serviceable. Do not attempt to open the device casing.
