Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique requirements,
mounting hardware selection and mechanical installation of the vehicle
dock shall be the responsibility of the installer. Norand recommends
using 3/8-inch terminal rings for connecting the electrical cable direct-
ly to the vehicle battery. A waterproof in-line fuse holder must be
installed between the positive battery terminal and the black wire in
the power cable.
The installation kit contains nuts, bolts, washers, battery terminal
rings, and a fuse link for connecting the battery cable directly to the
vehicle battery. It also contains adjustable wire clamps to secure the
cable in place.
Your tasks are to:
"
Install the vehicle dock
"
Install the dc-dc converter onto the vehicle
"
Connect the power cable from the converter to the dock
"
Connect the power cable to the vehicle battery terminals
The dock mounting location must not restrict the drivers view. Mount
the dock and cables away from the brake pedal, accelerator, steering
wheel, emergency brake, gear shift, and any other area that interferes
with safe operation of the vehicle. Decide where you will mount the
vehicle dock, then proceed with the following instructions.
The vehicle dock and associated electrical wiring should be installed
under the supervision of properly trained and qualified personnel. Fol-
low these installation instructions closely to ensure safe, reliable per-
formance for your equipment.
The vehicle’s electrical system must be in excellent condition. This
means the charging circuit must work properly and that vehicle-gener-
ated electrical “noise” must be minimized 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.
