1.2 Cable Connections
The connections required by the Vector Interface Box are very straightforward. The Vector
Interface Box needs to be connected to a power supply (8 to 40 VDC) and to the Vector
Power/Data cable and can communicate via direct cabling or through an RS-232 serial cable. To
access the internal terminal strips, the two faceplate screws must first be removed, and then the
top plate may be detached as pictured below in Figure 1 -2.
Figure 1-2 Vector Interface Box Internal Access
The cable from your Vector unit is connected to the Vector Interface Box by first removing the
bend relief coil from the ‘GPS Compass Input’ port. After the cable has been fed through the
coil and port, the bend relief is clamped onto the cable, and ensures it is securely attached.
The cable from you r Vector product will be attached to the terminal strips on the right side of
the circuit board. To attach the cable’s wires to the terminal strips, the screw of the appropriate
connection must first be loosened , the wire inserted, and the screw then tightened again. The
Vector cabling and terminal strip connections are detailed in Table 1 -1.
