5.10.2 ELECTRICAL WIRING
!
On aerial devices the installer will supply the required cables that run up the
ladder or boom. Be sure to perform voltage drop calculations to verify that the
supply voltage will remain at an acceptable level during monitor operation.
!
In installations where the minimum voltage cannot be maintained, an auxiliary
battery pack is available, part #Y4E-AB. Consult factory for specifications and
installation details.
!
Due to the cable length, the main power for the monitor is supplied through a
larger cable and into a junction box where it is connected to the factory supplied
monitor cable. Mount this terminal box within 10' (3 m) of the monitor.

5.10 MONSOON RC AERIAL TRUCK INSTALLATION
When installing the electric RC monitor on an aerial device truck, refer to
Figure 5.10.2.1 and 5.10.2.2.
5.10.1 ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURE MOUNTING
Select proper enclosure location. Enclosure is designed to be surface
mounted and the size is 5 3/4” x 8 3/4” (146 x 222mm). Height of enclosure
is 2 1/4” (57mm). Refer to Figure 5.10.1 for mounting hole dimensions.
5.10.2.1 LADDER INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL WIRING (-L MODELS)
The electronics enclosure converts discrete input signals into serial communications for controlling the monitor. The
discrete input signals can be from a joystick, toggle switches, relay contacts or Canbus output module. The electronic
interface a12 volt signals, but can be field changed to accept ground signals.
The electronics enclosure is configured so that signals connected to the PRIMARY CONTROL cable will override any
other operator stations (see section 6.2.1).
See Figure 5.10.2.1 for wiring connections

NOTE: To avoid excessive voltage drop at monitor operator
station, cable selection is critical.
Voltage supplied to ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURE should not fall
below 11 volts when monitor is in operation.
