5.0 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS INSTALLATION
The electric RC monitor is supplied with a monitor mounted operator station. The wiring on the monitor and for this operator station is
factory installed. The assembly is supplied with a 30-foot length of cable for connection to the operator control stations as shown in
figure 5.0 or directly to a protected voltage supply. This cable has 4-conductors which supply power and the communications from the
operator stations to the monitor. To complete the installation, the installer will need to mount and wire the selected operator stations.
The power supply for the monitor will need to be connected to a protected circuit from the truck's power distribution center. Refer to the
specifications section 3.1 for nominal current draw.
!
Good mechanical connections on the wires are absolutely necessary and should be checked periodically.
connections can cause power loss to the monitor and be a fire hazard.
!
Careful selection of wiring is critical to avoid excessive voltage drop.
!
Be careful to route cables in a protected area away from high heat sources.
!
Use grommets whenever wires pass through holes to prevent damage due to snags, abrasions, etc.
!
Secure cables close to control box with plastic wire ties or cable clamps to relieve stress on the cables.
!
Disconnect power before installing or servicing the electrical components. The RC monitor control boxes and motors are not rated
as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe.
