Wiring Guidelines

Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from
areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere
with the operation of the vehicle.

Installation in High Voltage Vehicles

WARNING
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle
power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water or
other liquids. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous
situation resulting in serious injury or death. Avoiding this hazard can be accomplished in the following
way.
• Use the PS1350 pre-regulator or, for freezer applications (-30°C), the PS1370 pre-regulator.

Voltages exceeding 30VDC are considered hazardous. Installation of
powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 30VDC require special
consideration, as listed below.
