Installation
1. Drive mounting screws to a maximum torque of 5 N.m [44.25 lbf.in] when clamped against a 3.0 to
6.0 mm [0.118 to 0.236 in] thick panel.
The joystick flange mounting hole depth is 12.6 mm [0.496 in].
2. For through-hole mounting, drive the screws at a torque of 3.5 N.m [30.98 lbf.in] directly through the
blind cast holes to remove the cast covers.
3. Use fit and seal for fitting and sealing of the joystick into the mounting panel using the screws
supplied.
•
Note the panel material type, thickness, strength and rigidity. Install in a panel with a minimum
thickness of 3.0 to 6.0 mm [0.118 to 0.236 in]. This allows the mounting screws to correctly clamp the
sealing boot.
•
Apply the specified screw torque to ensure sufficient and even clamping force on the sealing boot.
•
The mounting flange of the joystick should be connected to the vehicle chassis ground.
Machine wiring guidelines
•
Protect wires from mechanical abuse, run wires in flexible metal or plastic conduits.
•
Use 85˚ C (185˚ F) wire with abrasion resistant insulation and 105˚ C (221˚ F) wire should be
considered near hot surfaces.
•
Use a wire size that is appropriate for the module connector.
•
Separate high current wires such as solenoids, lights, alternators or fuel pumps from sensor and other
noise-sensitive input wires.
•
Run wires along the inside of, or close to, metal machine surfaces where possible, this simulates a
shield which will minimize the effects of EMI/RFI radiation.
•
Do not run wires near sharp metal corners, consider running wires through a grommet when
rounding a corner.
•
Do not run wires near hot machine members.
•
Provide strain relief for all wires.
•
Avoid running wires near moving or vibrating components.
•
Avoid long, unsupported wire spans.
•
Ground electronic modules to a dedicated conductor of sufficient size that is connected to the
battery (-).
•
Power the sensors and valve drive circuits by their dedicated wired power sources and ground
returns.
•
Twist sensor lines about one turn every 10 cm (4 in).
•
Use wire harness anchors that will allow wires to float with respect to the machine rather than rigid
anchors.
C
Caution
Unused pins on mating connectors may cause intermittent product performance or premature failure.
Plug all pins on mating connectors.
W
Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
Improperly protected power input lines against over current conditions may cause damage to the
hardware. Properly protect all power input lines against over-current conditions.
