Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
6.8.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
Warning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered
cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage,
ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry
location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an
appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector
must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing
an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create
a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.
Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require
special consideration.
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. This can be
accomplished in one of the following ways:
• Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle,
away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a
sealed housing).
• Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material.
• Wrap the connector securely with a waterproof electrical tape in an area out
of the vehicle operators reach.
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be
followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the
powered cradle.
6.8.6 Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
The powered cradle is designed to allow the WORKABOUT PRO G2 to be
powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the hand-held is also recharged
by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources ranging from 10 to
55V, with optional pre-regulator.
The vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed.
Warning: Applying a voltage greater than that specified or reversing or
reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the cradle
power option and will void the product warranty.
