display. The ground wire ring lugs should be connected, on one side, to one of the screw
holes used to secure the CPU Box to the trunnion, and on the other side, to one of the screw
holes used to secure the display to a surface.
VERY IMPORTANT: Connect the
GROUND lead of any device that is connected to the
MW810 Mobile Workstation, i.e., radio or any other equipment, to one common chassis
point, via a ring lug, as shown in Figure 6. Please ensure that the chassis
point has been
cleaned and scraped of any dirt, paint or other material
that may prevent a good electrical
connection.
If one ring lug cannot hold all the wires, add an
addi
tional ring lug and connect it to the
battery's negative terminal (-) or to the same chassis point by using the same installation
screw. Connect this common lug to the common, grounded chassis point or to the battery's
negative terminal (-) as shown in Figure 6. Make sure that all the ring
lugs are placed on
clean and unpainted surfaces.
Power Cable Installation
1. Determine a routing plan for the power cable, taking into consideration the location at
which the unit is to be mounted, and the location of the vehicle battery.
2. In order to pass the power cable through the fire wall and into the engine compartment,
locate an existing
hole
with a grommet in the vehicle fire wall, or drill a 10 mm (0.4 inch)
access hole at the desired location. Insert a grommet with a 5 mm (0.2 inch) inner
diameter into the access hole to avoid damage to the cable (see Figure 7).
Take special care not to damage any ex
isting vehicle wires.
