CABLING
1. ROUTING
a) Use caution when routing wires between the passenger and engine compartments
toavoidchangorpinchingthewires.Usegrommetsoveranyexposedsharpedges
and strain reliefs to keep wires in place. Seal all holes to prevent moisture intrusion.
b) Route and secure all under-hood wiring away from mechanical hazards such as
exhaust manifolds and moving parts.
c) Maintain as great a distance as possible between mobile radio power leads and
the vehicle’s electronic modules and wiring. Avoid running power leads in parallel
with vehicle wiring over long distances.
d) If cabling is routed under the instrument panel, be sure that there is no interfer-
ence with proper operation of the foot controls.
2. STRAIN RELIEF
Ensure that there is no strain exerted on cable connectors where they enter the
unit. Avoid placing the unit in a position where the cable connectors entering the
back of the unit are under pressure or strain of any kind. Ensure the power cable
is fully inserted before replacing the cable cover. In the event of undue stress or
strain on installed cables and connectors, permanent damage may occur imparing
the connections. This may result in intermittent or complete loss of communication
and or power. Always include strain relief every 2-3 feet on long cable runs.
As the Ranger can be tilted and rotated freely by the driver/user, cabling should
be installed such that moving/adjusting the position of the unit does not exert any
signicantstressonthecables.
3. LABELING
It is important to always label cabling at connection points. This simplifies mainte-
nance in the future. Using cables with consistent coloring will also make mainte-
nance easier.
