Vehicle Power Supply Installation Guide
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. The cut end is then terminated for connection to the
vehicle power source.
Inline Fuse
A snap-twist inline fuse holder is furnished as part of this kit.
It must be connected as close as possible (electrically
and
physically) to the vehicle power source. It provides short-cir-
cuit protection for the entire input power cable and the power
supply input. The fuse holder contains a 3AB, 20 ampere/250
V dc (

and correct it, then replace with exactly the same size and type
fuse.
Output Power Cable
NOTE:
Ensure that you have the correct output power cable for the comput-
er(s) being installed in your location.
Output power cables are approximately 6 feet long and have
a durable 3-pin connector to mate with the power supply. The
connector on the far end of the cable is specific to the teminal
(computer) or docking device in your particular installation.
These rugged connectors have heavy duty metal housings and
enhanced strain relief to provide added reliability in the mo-
bile environment.
