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 mobile platform’s positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain electrical isolation when installing the Powered Mobile Dock and any accessory equipment, to ensure safe and proper
CAUTION 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.
