I went on Deka's website and found a wiring diagram I have attached below. To install the Deka Battery Isolator item # DW08771 you will want to follow these steps:

Terminal 1 would connect to the positive battery terminal of the main battery.

The original wire from the alternator to the main battery would be removed from the battery and installed on terminal 1.

Terminal E would connect to an ignition circuit that's hot only when the key is switched on via a 6 amp breaker.

Terminal A would connect to the battery lead on the alternator.

Terminal 2 would connect to the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery.
