Forklift Power Supply Installation Guide
Understanding the DC Power Supply Kit
Use the DC power to help supply power to your mobile printer
when it is on a forklift. The DC power supply kits include these
items:
•
Power supply
•
Power supply input cable, 2.44 m (8 feet)
•
Fused power cable, 46 cm (18 inch)
•
#10 terminal ring
•
3AB, 20A/250 Vx fuse for 12 V installations
•
Insulated quick-connect tabs (2)
The power supply provides 12 Vx output that is filtered and
regulated. It also provides over-current, over-voltage, over
temperature, and shorted-output protection.
Installation Guidelines
You should be familiar with the brands and models of
equipment where this kit is installed. You should also be trained
and experienced in forklift electrical systems.
Follow these guidelines and the installation procedures as well as
those of the lift manufacturer to ensure a safe and reliable
installation:
•
Make sure the power supply is securely mounted.
•
Make sure the mounting surface is sturdy.
•
Make sure the mounting surface provides power supply heat
sink.
•
Make sure the fuse is close to vehicle power source and is in

every 46 cm (18 inch).
Before installing the power supply, familiarize yourself with the
forklift manufacturer’s requirements and make sure you have the
proper qualifications to perform the installation. For procedures
