- Page 4 • The power converter must be mounted to 330.2 to 406.4 square cm (51.2 to 63 square in.) of metallic surface, aluminum material with a minimum 6.1 mm (0.24 in.) thickness. Power Converter Dimensions 4.68 198.9 Tolerances: ±0.25 (0.01) (0.18) (7.83) Units: mm (in.) 2 X Ø7.14 (0.28)
- Page 5 • Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous. Make sure that cable routing does not interfere with other equipment or vehicle controls. Warning: Bare or frayed wires can result in electrical short circuits, which can cause system or vehicle damage, or a fire hazard resulting in property damage, serious injury, and/or...
- Page 6 • Use a listed circuit breaker or non-renewable cartridge fuse suitable for DC branch circuit protection, rated 20 A, on the positive side of the supply (see Inline Fuse). Cable Connections The transformer is mounted on a metal surface. Output 2 1: - (Input): 6 - 60VDC;...
- Page 7 Determine the best method for connecting the power converter to the power source and for routing the cable, taking into consideration the following principles. • On electric forklifts, connect the power as close to the battery as possible, but not directly from the battery terminals or before any main fuse.
- Page 8 • Operating temperature @ -30 to 30°C, Output ratings = V1@4.5A; V2@4.0A • Operating temperature @ 30 to 60°C, Output ratings = V1@4.5A; V2@0.0A Input Power Cable Note: Keep the cable as short as possible. Extra cable picks up noise, adds power loss, and can snag on equipment. The input power cable may be shortened as needed, but should not be extended on 12V or lower systems.
