PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
TS9000 – Fixed Installation
The TS9000 TouchStar can be mounted almost anywhere that is
convenient to the operator. The mounting location must be near
a standard 110 VAC electrical outlet, and there must be suffi-
cient space below the unit for cable access to the rear panel,
which faces downward when the unit is wall-mounted. The
optional mounting bracket should be secured to the wall prior
to attaching the TS9000 to the bracket.
All cable connections should be made to the TS9000 before the
system is powered up. Since there is no ON/OFF switch, the
unit will power up as soon as the power supply connections are
completed and the power supply is plugged in to the 110 VAC
outlet.
Power line transients, spikes and sags induced by other equip-
ment in the operating environment can stress the TouchStar’s
power supply, and can reduce the voltage at the TouchStar
below its n12 VDC operating voltage. To avoid the
possibility of large inrush currents which will open the power
supply’s internal fuses, necessitating the premature replacement
of the power supply, the use of single-outlet surge suppresser/
spike protector is highly recommended.
TS9050 – Wireless, Mobile Installation
The TS9050 mounts to a forklift or other vehicle with a custom
bracket. Operating power is obtained from a DC power con-
verter that attaches to the vehicle’s electrical system via an
access cord. Installation of the TS9050 requires mounting the
custom bracket, installing the DC power converter, and attach-
ing the access cord to the vehicle’s electrical system. Since
vehicle electrical systems vary, the wiring instructions given
here are intended as a guide only. If you require specific instruc-
tions for a particular make and model forklift, hostler, or
motorized pallet, please contact Citadel’s factory.
