Power Cable Routing

Guidelines

5-4 Model 6600 User's Guide

Cable Length

Remember that a shorter dc power cable connects the vehicle dock to the
battery cable. This extends the overall cable length and must be considered
as you begin the installation.

When Installing a Printer

If you are installing a printer at the same time, a special "Y" (power) cable
and a remote computer cable are required. These cables allow you to locate
the printer and the vehicle dock up to six feet apart. The battery cable for
printers contains a built-in filter assembly.
Cable installation
Follow the guidelines (below) and other instructions closely when installing
the battery cable.
Completely install the battery cable before connecting the dock.
"
Route the battery cable from the general area where the unit(s) will be
"
mounted. Work toward the vehicle battery.
Use a snap-in bushing (requires 9/16" hole) if the battery cable
"
passes through the firewall or other sheet-metal.
Make sure that cable routing does not interfere with other equipment
"
or vehicle controls.
Make sure that cable routing does not invite damage to the cable.
"
Secure the battery cable at least every 18 inches throughout the cable
"
run: use adjustable clamps (provided) or wire-tie to existing vehicle
cable runs.
