Electrical Considerations
Electrical System Connections
This section covers electrical connection to +12V, +24V, +36V and +48V sys-
tems.
Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to
the vehicle's positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain
electrical isolation when installing the powered vehicle dock and any accessory
equipment, to ensure safe and proper operation. Do not make any electrical
CAUTION
connections directly to the chassis of the forklift.
Connection to +12V
Figure 4 illustrates a typical wiring connection for a +12 volt system. The
input voltage operating range of the dock will allow direct connection to the
battery terminals. However, the use of a 5-Amp fuse is required, and a Noise
Spike/RF filter is highly recommended.
Accessory equipment may also be required depending on your application,
Refer to Table 1 on page 2-7. Read and follow all manufacturer's installation
instructions carefully.
