RAMP INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

An 8-pin Deutsch connector is mounted at the back of the RA300 ramp. A mating connector (male plug) is supplied with the ramp. The power supply (12 volt or 24 volt), the ground, a ramp OUT signal (+) and a ramp IN sig- nal (+) must be terminated in the supplied Deutsch connector.

The ramp installer provides an appropriate control switch for the end user. A momentary contact

ramp control switch (center off) will typically be mounted near the driver. The control switch may be part of a panel providing other features and controls (power on/ off indicators, LED’s, etc.).
