WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have read this entire section before you begin wiring!

Refer to Figure 2

1.Install docking station into vehicle, making sure that all bolts are tight.

2.Attach the BLACK ground wire to the location where the vehicle battery grounds to vehicle chassis.

3.Attach the RED wire to the supply voltage (V+) from the vehicle.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

zUse only SAE J1128 Type GPT number 14 AWG stranded wire (minimum) to attach the docking station to the vehicle's electrical system.

zConnect lead wires to the disconnect pigtail using the butt splice connectors provided with the docking station. Caution: The butt splice connections must be made as close

to the docking station as possible using the disconnect pigtail provided with the docking station. The disconnect must be easily accesible. When assembling the butt splice connectors use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-1525,CT-1550 OR CT-1551.

zRoute the lead wires to the battery. Total wire in the circuit must not exceed 30 feet and must conform to SAE standard J1128.

zProtect the lead wires from abrasion and chafing by using wire loom or conduit, and route away from moving parts or areas where high temperatures may occur.

zConnection of the supply voltage (V+) must be kept as close to the battery as possible.

zThe power connection must be made with the 10 amp in-line fuse and fuse holder provided with the dock. Connect the fuse holder to the lead wire using the butt splice connectors provided with fuse holder. When assembling the butt splice connectors use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100,CT-600,CT-1525 or CT-1551.

The fuse holder location must be kept within 10 inches of the connection to the battery positive, away from moving parts, and temperatures that exceed 180 degrees F. Caution: If the fuse holder requires replacement it should be replaced by qualified service personnel using Littlefuse part number FHM1 (Gamber-Johnson part number 11689). This device conforms to ASTM standard D471 and SAE standard J1128.

zFuse must be inserted in supplied fuse holder. Caution: For continued protection against risk of fire replace only with the same type and rating of supplied fuse. The provided fuse is UL Listed, rated at 10 amp, 32 volt AC/DC fast acting.

zIf a timing device is used follow the instructions of the manufacturer of that device. It must be wired in-line with the supply voltage (V+) to the docking station.
