Routing LCD 600 Data and Power Cables
Data and Power Cable
The LCR 600 shipment typically includes a gray 40-foot power cable and a 40-foot black data cable,
prewired to terminal blocks on the LCR 600 CPU board. On typical truck installations, the cables must be
routed from the back of the truck–where the LCR 600 is installed–to the front of the truck, where the
accessory panel is and the printer is typically installed. The black data cable connects to the printer,
typically mounted in the truck cab. The gray power cable hooks up to a power source. During installation,
follow these guidelines and ensure the cables remain undamaged.
Guidelines for routing the data and power cables on the
outside of the truck
·
LC recommends that both cables be run through ¾" automotive plastic corrugated split loom or
through flexible liquid-tight conduit for protection.
· Make sure the loom or conduit runs down the inside edge of the trucks frame rail and fasten every
2' with cable ties.
·
Install rubber grommets to protect the cables where they pass through the cab wall, meter box, et
cetera.
· Keep the cables away from heat sources such as the engine exhaust, manifold, exhaust pipe,
mufflers, et cetera.
·
If the cable glands are removed from the register, apply pipe sealant or PTFE tape on the gland
threads before re-installing.
·
Keep cables away from moving suspension components and other moving truck components.
