Battery And Cable Requirements - Zepro Z 1500 Technical Manual

Product overview
On the front of the support frame there is a cable grommet for cable pass-through from the outside to
the inside of the tail lift. Cables going from the card to the sensors, control devices, cabin switch and outer
valves are passed through the grommet. Access to the cable grommet is achieved by lossening the two
screws holding the protective cover in place. Loosening the five screws in the rubber seal reduces its grip on
the cables.

Battery and cable requirements

For proper function of the tail lift the electrical system needs to be sized per the following:
Item
Minimum battery capacity (I
Minimum voltage during operation (U
Cross sectional area of power cable, length up to 8m
Cross sectional area of power cable, length 8-15m
Cross sectional area of power cable, length over 15m
The given cross sectional areas are valid for copper cables. If other conductor material is used proper con-
version needs to be made in order to properly size the connection. The total length of the cable is measured
according to the following figure.
Some vehicle models have restrictions regarding the amount of current the lift can access from the existing
battery. Some vehicle models do not fully charge the battery. It may therefore be necessary to switch to a
battery and sometimes also to a charger with a larger capacity.
