User Manual Tx800 Installation
E-EQ-TX800OGWW-D-ARC 19
For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused
circuit on the vehicle. This fused circuit requires a user supplied 5 Amp maximum time
delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the supply connection is made
directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of
the battery positive (+) terminal.
For installation by trained service personnel only.
Risk of ignition or explosion. Explosive gas mixture may be vented from battery.
Work only in well ventilated area. Avoid creating arcs and sparks at battery
terminals.
How To: Connect Vehicle Electrical Connection
1. Please review section 4.2.2 (without blackout screen box) or section 4.2.3 (with blackout screen
box) before beginning power cable install.
2. The Tx700 must be powered off.
3. Begin by connecting the power cable to the Tx700. Work from the Tx700 with the last
connection being to the vehicle’s power source.
4. Route the cable from the Tx700 to the DC to DC converter and, optionally, the blackout screen
box. Cut the cable to length and strip the wire ends. If the blackout screen box is not used, do
not strip the green and yellow wires.
Route the power cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of
105°C (221°F). When routing this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from
surfaces that might exceed this temperature.
Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with a panel containing Silicon Controller Rectifiers (SCR’s),
avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to these devices.
Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the
vehicle.
5. Remove the lid from the DC to DC converter. Attach the stripped wire ends to the DC to DC
converter.
