Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle

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 vehicle alternator.

6.10.3.1 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 1081142) is used for the vehicle fuse box.

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.

•The Powered Vehicle Cradle draws no more than 1.9A @ 12VDC or 0.95A @ 24VDC. Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 4A. The Powered Vehicle Cradle and peripherals can be used with both negative ground systems when using the Power Extension cable. Peripheral wiring should be closely examined to avoid ground loops in positive ground systems.

•There is the option of connecting power to the cradle before or after the ‘key’ switch.
