Have you ever installed cool LED spotlights, an off-road light bar, or even a high-decibel horn on your beloved vehicle, only to be plagued by the chaotic mess of switches and wires on your center console? Every new accessory means another hole drilled into your interior trim, another wire to run.
What is the NOVSIGHT HALO Multichannel Switch?
Simply put, the NOVSIGHT HALO is an intelligent circuit management hub for your vehicle's accessories. It consists of two main parts: a "control box" that is installed in the engine bay and a "control panel" that is mounted in the cockpit.
Its core mission is to consolidate the power control for all your aftermarket electronic accessories (like spotlights, fog lights, work lights, horns, warning lights, etc.) onto this single panel. You no longer need to install a separate switch for each device; one panel can elegantly manage up to eight different accessories.
Why Choose It? An Analysis of Three Core Advantages
If you're still wondering whether you need a "hub" like this, its three core advantages might give you the answer.
Advantage 1: Unprecedented "Voice Control" Convenience
This is the HALO switch's most eye-catching feature. During driving, especially on complex off-road trails or at night, fumbling to find and press a small switch can be extremely dangerous. The HALO's voice control function completely solves this pain point.
- Smart Wake-up: Simply say the wake-up phrase, "Hey, Novsight," and the system will reply, "I'm here," indicating it's ready for commands.
- Precise Commands: You can issue clear commands like "TURN-ON-CHANNEL-ONE" or "ALL-CHANNEL-FLASHING," and the system will execute them immediately while replying "got it".
- Continuous Operation: After waking the device, you can issue multiple commands in sequence, and the system will execute them one by one, significantly improving operational efficiency.
With this feature, your hands can stay on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road, representing a quantum leap in both driving safety and convenience.
Advantage 2: Ultimate Simplicity and Safety in Circuit Management
Traditional accessory installation often results in a "spider's nest" of wiring, which is not only unsightly but also a significant safety hazard. NOVSIGHT HALO changes this fundamentally.
- Simplified Wiring: You only need to connect the control box's positive and negative terminals to the car battery, then connect each accessory's wires to the corresponding channels on the box. Inside the cabin, you have just one clean control panel, saying goodbye to the clutter.
- Goodbye to Traditional Fuses: The entire HALO system uses electronic fuses, eliminating the need for traditional replaceable blade fuses. This means you'll never have to fumble in the dark with a flashlight, trying to find and replace a tiny blown fuse.
-
Smart Overload Protection:
- If a single circuit's current exceeds 30A, that channel will not turn on, and the control panel will flash to alert you, protecting your accessory from damage.
- If the total current exceeds 80A, the system will automatically cut off all outputs to protect the vehicle's entire electrical system. Normal operation can be restored once the current is reduced.
-
Flexible ACC Wiring: The white ACC wire offers two working modes:
- Connect to Battery Positive: The switch is always powered, allowing you to control accessories even when the car is off. The downside is the potential to drain the battery if the vehicle isn't started for a long time.
- Connect to Vehicle's ACC Signal Wire: The switch is only powered on when the car is started. The advantage is that it effectively prevents battery drain, but you cannot control accessories when the engine is off.
Advantage 3: Powerful Customization and Multi-Function Modes
The HALO is not just a switch; it's a highly customizable control platform.
-
One Key, Three Modes for Different Scenarios:
- Constant-On Mode: A <Short press> on any channel key (Key1-Key8) provides continuous output, suitable for general lighting.
- Strobe Mode: A <Long press> on any channel key (Key1-Key8) activates a flashing output, ideal for warnings or special scenarios.
- Momentary Mode (Horn Mode): Press and hold the bottom key ("Key11") and any channel key (Key1-Key8) simultaneously to switch to this mode. The output is active only while the button is pressed and stops upon release, perfect for controlling horns or devices needing brief activation.
- Variable Backlight: <Long press> the upper key ("Key9") to enter the color adjustment mode, then use a <Short press> to cycle through the backlight colors. When you stop operating, the current color is automatically saved as the background, allowing it to perfectly match your car's interior ambient lighting.
- Power-off Memory: The switch has a memory function; the mode it was in when turned off will be the same when it is turned on again.
How is the NOVSIGHT HALO Different from Other Brands?
- Core Difference: Smart Voice Interaction. This is the fundamental differentiator from the vast majority of traditional switch panels. The hands-free convenience of voice control offers a safer and more modern interactive experience.
- Technical Difference: All-Electronic Fuse Solution. Compared to many competitors that still use traditional physical fuse boxes, HALO's electronic fuse solution is more advanced and worry-free, reflecting a higher degree of technological integration.
- Functional Difference: The Flexibility of Three-Modes-in-One. Integrating constant-on, strobe, and momentary functions into a single button provides a level of versatility and richness far beyond that of simple ON/OFF switches.
Important Notes and Tips
- Main Power Switch: The center button (Key10) is the master switch. After being connected to power, it defaults to a red, inactive state. You must short press it once, and after it changes to the background color, the other buttons become operational.
- Voice Mode: Short press Key9 to enable voice mode. If no new voice command is received within ten minutes, the mode will automatically turn off. You will need to press Key9 again to re-enable it.
- Strobe Mode Limitation: You cannot use a voice command to switch from "Strobe Mode" back to "Constant-On Mode". This must be done manually by short-pressing the corresponding button. Furthermore, due to the memory function, if the device was in strobe mode when last turned off, it will still be in strobe mode when turned on again.
Brief Installation Guide
The installation process is very intuitive. The control box can be secured in a suitable position in the engine bay using the feet on its back. The control panel can be easily mounted in the cockpit using the included brackets, following the steps shown in the diagram.
In conclusion, the NOVSIGHT HALO Voice Multichannel Switch is a complete, intelligent, and safe control solution for your vehicle's external accessories. Whether you are an off-road enthusiast, a truck driver, or a car owner looking to make your vehicle more personalized and convenient, it will help you leave the hassle of complicated wiring behind and take command of everything in the simplest, coolest way possible.
