2.7.7 DC/DC Electrical Installation
Before connecting the DC/DC to the vehicle power, one must carefully investigate from where to best
connect. A rule of thumb is that power shall be sourced as close to the battery as possible and not through
common switches e.g. emergency brake and ignition. Please see section 2.5 for details on power supply
connections and applicable warnings and cautions.
2.7.8 Power Cables to Printers and Scanners
It is always recommended to optimize the cable lengths used, but when using pre-crimped cables, typically
when installing peripheral equipment e.g. printers, scanners and other computer connected devices the
length often differs from optimum. Therefore it may be difficult to hide excessive material. In such
situation it is recommended to nicely bundle the cables with bands and find a suitable place for the
package where it is not at risk of being torn, rubbed, friction or affected of other detriment.
