Wiring to the Vehicle
BLUE CABLE (IGNITION)
Connect the Blue wire to a signal active when the engine is running (12 V vehicle electrical system
charging) to maximise GoBlock charging. Ensure that it is fused to 2 A.
RED CABLE (ALTERNATOR)
1.
Strip 10 mm (0.4") of insulation from the end of the full-length Red Cable and connect to the
4-Pole Terminal Block (if using a PowerDock Wiring Kit).
2.
Run the full-length Red Cable to the Vehicle Battery and trim any excess length.
3.
Connect the short red cable to the 60 A Midi Fuse (and Fuse Holder).
Note:
If supplying your own cable, apply the Fuse as close to the battery as possible, ideally no
more than 100 mm (3.94") away.
4.
Connect the other end of the short red cable to the positive Terminal on the Vehicle Battery.
ANDERSON SOLAR CABLE
1.
Trim excess length from the Yellow and Black cables on the Anderson connector, then strip
10 mm (0.4") of insulation from the end of each cable.
2.
Connect the Yellow and Black cables to the 4-Pole Terminal Block (if using a
PowerDock Wiring Kit).
BLACK CABLE (GROUND)
Strip approximately 10 mm (0.4") of insulation from the end of the cable and connect to the 4-Pole
Terminal Block (if using a PowerDock Wiring Kit).
MOUNT THE 4-POLE TERMINAL BLOCK
If using the 4-Pole Terminal Block, mount it to a clear space on the vehicle using the M5 Nyloc Nuts,
M5 Washers, and M5×25 Bolts. Mark and drill 4 holes and fasten. Touch up any exposed metal with
a rust inhibitor/primer.
TIDY UP CABLES
Once the cabling is complete, tidy up the cables using cable ties and/or split tubing. Cables should
be securely anchored to prevent movement that may cause strain or abrasion.
