This docking station has an add on power supply and is designed to be used with a 12
volt or 24 volt DC systems only. The voltage output is factory set at 15.6 volts.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have read this entire section before you begin wiring!
1. Install docking station into vehicle, making sure that all bolts are tight.
2. Attach BLACK ground wire to the location where the vehicle battery grounds to
vehicle chassis.(See Figure 1)
3. Connect the RED wire to the supply voltage (V+) from the vehicle. (See Figure 1)
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
• Use only SAE J1128 Type GPT number 16 AWG stranded wire (minimum) to attach
the docking station to the vehicle's electrical system.
• Connect lead wires to the Docking Station (recommend using quick disconnects as
shown in Figure 1) Caution: The disconnect must be easily accessible. When
assembling the quick disconnects, use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-
1525, CT-1550 or CT-1551.
• Route the lead wires to the battery. Total wire in the circuit must not exceed 30 feet
and must conform to SAE J1128 standard.
• Protect the lead wires from abrasion and chafing by using wire loom or conduit and
route away from moving parts or areas where high temperatures may occur.
• Connection of the supply voltage (V+) must be kept as close to the battery as possible.
• The power connection must be made with the 10 amp in-line fuse and fuse holder
provided with the dock. Connect the fuse holder to the lead wire using the butt splice
connectors provided with the fuse holder. When assembling the butt splice connectors,
use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-1525 or CT-1551.
The fuse holder location must be kept within 10 inches of the connection to the battery
positive, away from moving parts and temperatures that exceed 180 degrees F.
Caution: If the fuse holder requires replacement, it should be replaced by qualified
service personal using Littlefuse part number FHM1 (Gamber-Johnson part number
11689). This device conforms to ASTM D471 and SAE J1128 standards.
• Fuse must be inserted in the supplied fuse holder. Caution: For continued protection
against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of supplied fuse. The
provided fuse is UL Listed, rated at 10 amps, 32 volt AC/DC fast acting.
• If a timing device is used, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of that device. It
must be wired in-line with the supply voltage (V+) to the docking station.
• If you have any installation questions, please call Gamber-Johnson customer support at
1-800-456-6868.
