2.3 Wiring - Overview
This section will explain how to wire your application to the GSC400.
Table 1 gives the type and part number for all the mating plugs that plug into the
GSC400 terminals. If you do not wish to crimp your own plugs, Table 29 on
page 120 gives the part numbers of the various starter-kit harnesses you can
order from DynaGen. Only commonly used circuits on each connector are wired.
Table 29 lists the circuits (i.e. wires) that are included as part of the harness.

* These are the GSC400 terminals that the wiring harness mates to.
**The Molex connectors require the following contacts: Molex 39-00-0039.
The hand crimp tool required to crimp the contacts to the wire is Molex
0638190900. The extraction tool part number is Molex 011030044 which
allows you to remove contacts from the Molex connector without
damaging the contact. The extraction tool is available from DynaGen (part
number: ACC0097).
Table 2 lists the minimum wire size, maximum current capacity, name, and
function of each circuit. The wire gages given in the table are the minimum
recommended only. To maintain UL rating, the correct wire gauge as specified
by UL must be used.
Dynagen has tested the switched inputs, switched outputs, analog inputs, and
J1939 for proper operation at wire runs of 5ft. It is responsibility of the user to
test runs longer than 5ft to confirm proper operation. J1939 and Modbus
applications should use proper cable for those purposes if over 5ft; Refer to the
J1939 and Modbus sections.
