INSTALLING THE BATTERY CABLES

IMPORTANT! DO NOT CONNECT BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE UNTIL

THE PT-3000 UNIT IS READY TO BE TEST RUN.

Turn the main power switch on the PT-3000 to the OFF position to ensure the

unit will not start prematurely.

Route the positive and negative battery cables from the PT-3000 to the batteries.

Cut battery cables to desired length. Strip the insulation on both cables back about ½”.

Slide heat shrink over the end of the cables. Place copper connector

onto the end of the positive cable and crimp with a crimping tool. Slide heat shrink

up over the crimped spot on the connector and apply heat to heat shrink. Use the same

procedure on the negative battery cable.

Be sure the areas where the battery cables are to be connected are clean and free

of debris that may cause a bad connection. DO NOT connect the positive battery cable

until the installation is complete.

ROUTING AC POWER WIRES AND REMOTE CONTROL WIRES

The remote start wires should be routed with the AC output wires. Make sure the

remote wires are secured inside the frame rail. Run the remote start wires through the

same grommet used for the AC power cable. Secure harness using wire ties. Route the

harness to the location where the control panel will be mounted.

INSTALLING THE AC POWER OUTPUT WIRES

The AC power output wires (SO cord / cable) should be routed in a way that they

will not come into contact with anything abrasive. Suggested routing of the power cable

is, run the loose end of the cable up to the frame rail. Clamp or tie the cable. Run the

cable inside the frame rail making sure they are secured. Once under the cab, route cable

to the underside of the bunk area.

Inside the sleeper, lift bunk, determine where the heating and air conditioner unit

will be installed (see section on installing heating and air conditioner) locate an area to

mount the terminal block. The terminal block will be the central power connection from

the PT-3000. Once desired location is determined, use a 1 ¼” hole saw to make a hole for

the AC output leads to come into the sleeper area. After hole is drilled, place 1 ¼”

grommet in the hole to assure that chaffing doesn’t occur. Run AC output leads through

this grommet. Secure the terminal block to the floor using the screws provided.

NOTE:

To prevent cracking the terminal block, mount to a hard flat surface.
