Figure 5 illustrates a wiring diagram for +24, +36 and +48 volt systems. The use of a DC/DC converter is required to step down the battery voltage for use by the PDA. Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the mobile platform’s positive and negative battery terminals.
