Vehicle Electrical Considerations
The vehicle’s electrical system must be in excellent condi-
tion. This means the charging circuit must work properly
and that vehicle-generated electrical “noise” must be mini-
mized and within specifications (SAE J113).
B
CAUTION:
The vehicle charging circuit must neither undercharge nor
overcharge the vehicle battery. Either fault condition in the
vehicle electrical system can cause a no-charge condition in the
terminal battery (and in the printer battery if one is installed in
the vehicle).
Excess electrical noise can be severe enough to defeat the
electrical filtering that is built into your equipment. Defec-
tive ignition wiring, damaged insulation, or a faulty vehicle
electrical component can cause electrical noise. When this
happens, computers and other equipment can behave un-
predictably.
