Electrical Power Wiring - Motorola VC70N0 Quick Reference Manual

Quick Reference Guide

Electrical Power Wiring

• Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or
hot surfaces.
• Fix the cable to existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties,
but make sure they are away from any moving or hot surfaces.
• When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable gland.
• When fixing the conduit or cable on the outside of a vehicle, use
P-Clips. Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the
clip.
• Ensure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum
recommended radius is 63.5 mm (2.5 in.).
• Ensure cables do not swing or chafe on the structure. This often
requires using cable ties approximately every foot, and ensuring the
cables do not flex often, especially where they connect to the VC70.
However, if you must re-position the VC70 occasionally, ensure there
is enough slack in the cable to accommodate movement without
putting tension on the cable.
• DO NOT wind a cable in and out of the mesh on a cage.
• On electric vehicles, take the power from as close to the battery as
possible, but not directly from the battery terminals, and not before
any main fuse.
• On gasoline, diesel or propane vehicles, take the power from as close
to the battery terminals as possible, and avoid using existing wiring.
• Ensure that all fuses are as close as possible to the power source.
Forklifts and Trucks with 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V Batteries
• All power wiring must use the supplied 25-159551-01 power cable.
• Fuse: One 3AB, 15A, 250V, FST BLO fuse - 9-60V DC.
