E. VX6 Computer
1. Connect the power cable to the vehicle’s electrical system as described in Connect Vehicle 12-80VDC Connection.
2. Connect the power cable to the UPS battery pack by aligning the water-tight connector pins to the input connector
(labeled “From Vehicle”); push down on the water-tight connector and twist it to fasten securely.
3. Connect the output cable (labeled “To Computer”) from the UPS battery pack to the extension cable by aligning the
water-tight connector to the input end of the extension cable; push down on the water-tight connector and twist it to
fasten securely.
4. Route the extension cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F).
When routing this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces that might exceed this
temperature. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate. Always
route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped
with a panel containing Silicon Controller Rectifiers (SCR’s), avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to these
devices.
5. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot intervals,
taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate outer cable jacket.
