Mounting and handling
This chapter contains recommendations for installation, handling and maintenance of the device.
3.1.
Mounting
CCpilot VS 12”
supports a standardized VESA75 mounting interface.
It is recommended to use 4 pc. M5 x 0.8 Allen screws, with a length of 12 mm. The recommended
fastening torque is 1.5 - 2.0 Nm. Using fluid locker or locking washers (split ring, toothed lock, etc.)
is required for proper mounting. Ensure that the M5 mounting screws are clean and dry before
mounting.
Note that the depth of the threaded holes is 8 mm. Be careful not to use too long screws which may
damage the device when tightened.
3.2.
Connecting to power supply
This chapter describes how the
CCpilot VS
is preferably connected to the power supply of the
vehicle. The principle is the same also for other types of installations.
Carefully read through the following sub-chapters before installing the device. Connector pinouts
are found in chapter 6.
3.2.1.
Wire gauge
Wire gauge for the power supply should be dimensioned with respect to the start current at
cranking.
Current consumption of the
CCpilot VS 12”
device is found in chapter 7.1.
Power consumption of external loads driven by the
CCpilot VS 12”
device should also be
taken into account.
The wire gauge for the power supply is recommended to be at least 1.5 mm
2
/AWG 15 for
“normal” loads and at least 2.5 mm
2
/AWG 14 if using high external loads.
The DT connectors accept wire gauges between 0.75 and 3.3 mm
2
/AWG 12 to 18.
3.2.2.
External fuse
To prevent cable fire in case of short circuit, an external fuse must always be used when powering
the device from a high current capable power source, for example a vehicle battery.
The fuse shall be located as close to the battery/power source as practically possible.
Fuse rating shall be dimensioned with respect to wire gauge, maximum current
consumption and the inrush current of the device. Refer to chapter 7.1 for fuse rating
details.
As a guideline, a slow acting fuse with 15 A current rating should be used.
Remember to also apply fusing for the on/off control wiring, see chapter 3.2.4.
