SECTION 1 General Information " Section 1 General Information " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " About This Manual This manual is divided into three sections.
SECTION 1 General Information " V dc (typically gas-powered vehicles: 12 & 24 volts) and the other accepts 15--96 V dc (typically electric-powered ve- hicles: 24, 36, 48, & 72 volts). Both supplies provide 12 V dc output which is filtered and regulated. Both supplies also provide short circuit, over voltage, and over tempera- ture protection.
SECTION 1 General Information " Input Power Cable NOTE: The input power cable may be shortened as needed. It SHOULD NOT be extended under any circumstances. The input power cable is approximately 9 feet long. One end has a 4-pin connector, the other end has a 2-pin connector. By cutting off the unneeded connector, a single cable can meet ei- ther low or high voltage input-range power supply require- ments.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Section 2 Installation Procedures " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " About this Installation Follow the procedures in this section as closely as possible while keeping the following as primary considerations: Power Supply must be securely mounted.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Before you Begin WARNING: Equipment failure or damage will result if the vehicle power source voltage does not fall within the input voltage rating of the power supply furnished to you. Power Supplies Read the nomenclature on the power supply and verify that the input voltage rating is correct for the vehicle you will be installing it in.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Mount the Power Supply The input power cable is approximately 9 feet long and can be shortened as needed. It must NOT be extended un- der any circumstances. The output power cable is approximately 6 feet in long and cannot be shortened. You must take these lengths and the intended location of your electronic equipment into consideration when choosing a mounting location for the power supply.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " 3. Use a 1/4--20 tap to thread the mounting holes. 4. Place a lockwasher on each bolt. 5. Insert the bolt/lockwasher assemblies through the power supply holes and into the threaded mounting holes. Power Cable Installation Follow these guidelines and other instructions closely when installing power cables.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Power Cable Connections The fuse holder from the input power cable must be con- nected as close (physically and electrically) as possible to the positive side of the vehicle power source. The remaining colored wire(s) must be connected to the negative side of the vehicle power source.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Cut and Strip the Power Cable 1. Cut the power cable near the power source or battery. 2. Strip the cable jacket back 12--14 inches. 3. Slide heatshrink tubing over cable jacket. 4. Strip 1/4” of insulation from individual wires. 5.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Heatshrink Tubing This kit contains a 6 inch length of 3/8” heatshrink tubing which you will cut into three pieces, and a 12 inch length of 1/8” heatshrink tubing for the shield wire. Tubing must be in place before terminating wire ends.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Prepare the Cable Ends Both large (3/8 inch) and smaller (#10) terminal rings are provided for your selection and use in the following steps. A small (#10) terminal ring should be crimped to the shield wire and then fastened to vehicle chassis ground.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Direct to Battery Connections Side-mounted Battery Terminals 1. Remove both terminal screws from the vehicle battery. 2. Screw a 3/8” nut as far as it will go onto a 3/8” X 1-1/2” bolt furnished in kit. 3.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Connection to Top-mounted Terminals 1. Remove the bolts from the vehicle battery terminals. 2. Replace those bolts with 3/8” 1-1/2” bolts and nuts from the installation kit. Tighten the nuts. 3. Slip a 3/8” washer onto the end of each bolt. 4.
SECTION 2 Installation Procedures " Cables Clamps Secure the cables every 18 inches using locking wire ties or adjustable cable clamps. Remove the paper backing from a clamp and stick the clamp in place while drilling a pilot hole with a #26 drill bit. Use #6 sheet-metal screws to per- manently hold clamps in place.
SECTION 3 Troubleshooting Information " Section 3 Troubleshooting Information " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " Procedures Three basic procedures contained in this section allow you to identify and correct most power supply problems you may encounter in the foregoing installation.
SECTION 3 Troubleshooting Information " If the LED is not lighted, the power supply is not producing 12 V dc output power. In this case a fault can exist any- where in the system. Table 3-1 will help isolate and identi- fy and correct the failure.
SECTION 3 Troubleshooting Information " Substitution Advantages Component substitution is the most expedient and certain troubleshooting technique. It is especially valuable when trying to resolve intermittent problems. Disdvantages You must either have spare parts (power supply and both cables in this instance) on hand, or be prepared to “borrow” components from another, working installation.
