13. While observing the fuse requirements specified here, connect the power cable as close as possible to the actual
battery terminals of the vehicle. When available, always connect to unswitched terminals in the vehicle fuse panel, after
providing proper fusing.
Note:
ATTENTION: For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point after the
ignition switch of the vehicle.
14. Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized "crimp" type electrical
terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm2)
conductors.
15. 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 the outer cable jacket.
