INSTALLATION
2
CAUTION
For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made
at any point after the ignition switch of the vehicle.
3. Route the cable the shortest way possible. The input cable from the connection to the
battery 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, which 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 Controlled
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.
Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly
sized "crimp" type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please
select electrical connectors sized for use with 20AWG (0,75 mm Ø) conductors.
The following table gives the wiring color codes for the DC input power cabling:
Vehicle Supply
Wire Color
+11 - 60VDC (DC +)
Blue
Return (DC -)
Brown
Vehicle Chassis (GND)
Green/Yellow
NOTE
Rhino-NET™ accepts a wide DC input voltage range. Do not connect the
Rhino-NET™ input power cable to any other computer or damage to that
computer may occur.
4. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at
approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to overtighten and pinch conductors or
penetrate outer cable jacket.
5. Connect the cable to the Rhino-NET™ by aligning the Lumberg connector pins to the
power connector; both the plug and receptacle are keyed and care must be used when
connecting the power cable. Twist the ring nut of the power plug clockwise until tight.
