TS9000/TS9050 TouchStar Systems User Manual
• TS9050 Physical Installation
The mounting bracket should be located so that the TS9050
touchscreen is clearly visible, easily accessible and easily
operated. Also, make sure that the intended mounting
location provides adequate access for cables to the rear
panel (bottom) of the TS9050. To provide maximum safety
for both the vehicle operator and the equipment, the TS9050
and its DC power converter should both be mounted
completely within the vehicle’s outer dimensions and
profile.
If required, mark and drill the mounting holes, using the
mounting bracket as a template. Mount the bracket, and if
used, the remote antenna. Mount the TS9050 to the bracket
using the knobs and washers prior to making any final cable
connections.
NOTE:
When installing the TS9050 on an electric vehicle,
electrical isolation between the vehicle chassis ground and
the exterior case of the TS9050 should be maintained. The
standard mounting bracket provides the necessary isolation
provided that
the TS9050 is positioned such that it does not
make direct contact with the vehicle chassis.
• DC Power Converter Installation
The DC power converter mounts to a steel surface on the
vehicle via its magnetic feet. It should be located so as not to
interfere with either moving parts on the vehicle or the
operator’s vision. Be certain that the TS9050 DC power
cable from the converter can reach the mating connector on
the TS9050.
• Electrical Harness Access Cable
The access cable should be connected to the vehicle’s
electrical system, at a point that provides power at all times,
and that is filtered and fused. Never connect the access
cable directly to the battery terminals. Possible connection
points are at the horn, lights (feed) or ignition switch (feed).
24-48 V Power Converter:
The electrical harness access cable for the 24-48 V Power
Converter has two leads at one end which are permanently
wired into the vehicle’s electrical system. The other end of
the cable has a circular 2-pin connector with rubber boot
