Electrical Considerations
Electrical System Connections
This section covers electrical connection to +12V, +24V, +36V and +48V sys- tems.
| Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to | |
| the vehicle's positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain | |
| electrical isolation when installing the powered vehicle dock and any accessory | |
CAUTION | equipment, to ensure safe and proper operation. Do not make any electrical | |
connections directly to the chassis of the forklift. | ||

Connection to +12V
Figure 4 illustrates a typical wiring connection for a +12 volt system. The input voltage operating range of the dock will allow direct connection to the battery terminals. However, the use of a 5-Amp fuse is required, and a Noise Spike/RF filter is highly recommended.
Accessory equipment may also be required depending on your application, Refer to Table 1 on page 2-7. Read and follow all manufacturer's installation instructions carefully.
