Installing the Power Cable

The power cable connects the MAS to the vehicle’s electrical power source.

Cable Run

Run direction

—

The power cable can be routed from front to back or back to front. The

direction depends on whether the access hole is big enough for the connector (1-

1/2 inches).

If you route the cable internally, route it from the MAS to the dash area.

Routing location

—

The cable can be routed internally or externally. Use existing cable routes

when possible.

Cable dressing

—

Store and secure excess cable. Do not cut the power cable to fit the vehicle.

Power Cable Routing

Follow these steps to route the power cable:

1. Select one of the following electrical power interface locations on the vehicle:

• Key switch

• Fuse panel

• Bus bar

• Circuit breakers

2. To make the power cable easier to route through holes, temporarily remove the two

fuses from the fuse holders on the end of the cable.

3. Route the fuse end of the power cable from the MAS location into the cab of the vehicle.

Route the cable with other cables, if possible. Make sure the fuse end reaches the

power interface location and that you have enough cable in the cab to work with.

4. After the power cable is in the vehicle cab, re-install the fuses onto the appropriate

wires.
