roUTInG lCr-II daTa and PoWer Cables
data and Power Cable
The LCR-II shipment typically includes a gray 40' power
cable and a 40' black data cable prewired to terminal
blocks on the LCR-II CPU board. On typical truck
installations, the cables must be routed from the back
of the truck, where the LCR-II 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, etc.
•
Keep the cables away from heat sources such as the
engine exhaust, manifold, exhaust pipe, mufflers, etc.
•
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.
•
If the cables are shortened, make sure you use the
proper tool for stripping off the insulation on the cables.
•
Make sure cables are connected to the proper terminal.
Instructions for hooking up
power to the printer and the
LCR-II begin on pg. 29.
Guidelines for routing the data and power cables
inside the cab
•
Layout positions for the component and pathways for the
cables before beginning.
•
Make sure the printer and the wires will not obstruct other
vehicle components.
• Keep cable pathways away from heavy traffic areas and
locations where they may be vulnerable to damage.
•
Remember to save room around the components so
cables can be easily connected.
•
Avoid installing the cable where it will be exposed to
excessive flexing.
•
Make sure cables are not pulled too tight in areas that will
move. For example, when wiring cab-over trucks, leave
enough slack so the cab can be tilted without damaging
the cable.
•
Make sure cables are not fastened to adjustable seats.
