Installa on:
Installa on of the PC
-
8R is quite simple. Decide on the loca on you want the PC
-
8R mount-
ed. Most installa on posi ons will be under the rider’s or passenger’s seat. In some cases the PC
-
8R can be mounted under a side cowl or seat cowl. Points to note concerning the mount posi-
ons are:
·
Access for changing fuses
·
Access for wiring changes/connec ons
·
Cooling, the PC
-
8R does not need forced air but it does keep cool via convec on so we
recommend to avoid stacking items on top that may hinder cooling.
·
For reliable opera on we recommend moun ng the unit out of the direct weather and away
from wheel spray/splashing etc.
( The PC
-
8R is designed such that should the unit be submerged in water, or mud, simply removing it and washing the unit in fresh clean water asap will
ensure it’s con nued reliable opera on. The unit itself generates a small amount of heat and any moisture or water that remains in the case, will evapo-
rate. Usually a good shake a er cleaning & before reinstalling is all that is needed. )
·
It is always best to mount the PC
-
8R firmly to a panel or tray. Strong Velcro can be used or
self tapping screws or push rivets. Loose moun ng or allowing the unit to move around can
lead to premature failure of connected wires.
Connec ons to the PC
-
8R are straight forward. Depending on applica on
( power requirement )
there
will either be 1 or 2 power and ground connec ons. The switching input is normally connected to
a source of switched power
( very low current is drawn, less than 0.1A ).
CAUTION:
When ghtening or
loosening J4 and J3 screw
terminals, we recommend
you support the terminal
block against twis ng.
