7.10.3.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle
The Powered Vehicle Cradle uses the automotive power outlet or the vehicle fuse box to
power from the vehicle battery system. The CLA power cable (PN 1081141) is used for the
automotive power outlet; the Power Extension cable (PN 1081146) is used for the vehicle
fuse box.
Figure 7.13 CLA Power Cable And Power Extension Cable
Power cables are equipped with fuses and instructions are supplied with each cable. Use
only a 4A slow blow Safety-approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
These cables should only supply operating power from the vehicle to the Powered Vehicle
Cradle from 12VDC or 24VDC systems.
Warning: Applying a voltage above 36VDC or reversing polarity may result in perma-
nent damage to the vehicle cradle power section and will void the product
warranty. For safety reasons, disconnect the vehicle cradle power cable
when the vehicle battery is being charged by an source other than the
vehiclealternator.
Warning: A properly trained technician must perform the power connection using
Power Extension cable (PN 1081146) and the CH1005A. Improper connec-
tion can damage the vehicle or the cradle.
This cable can be used to provide power to CH1005A from a fused circuit.
The vehicle cradle should be added to a fused circuit with a new maximum
load capacity of the original load plus the cradle load, which is 4A.
