- Access Requirements
- Important Mounting Information
- 1. Four stainless steel cap screws, 1/4”-20-X (M6x1.0-X) where X represents the length of the cap screws.
- 2. Four 1/4”-20 (M6x1.0) nyloc nuts
- 3. Four 1/4” (M6) flat washers
- 1. Disconnect the fork lift battery.
- 2. Connect the Power Converter to the vehicle battery as shown below:
- 3. Confirm the fuse is in the fuse mount: • For a 12V or 24V fork lift, use a 8A fast blow ceramic fuse. • For a 36V, 48V, or 60V fork lift, use a 5A fast blow ceramic fuse.
- 4. Route the cable from the power converter to the power source using the Cabling Installation Guidelines (see Guidelines for Routing Cables on page 14).
- 5. Connect the red wire to the electric lift truck's positive power source. Connect the black wire to the electric lift truck's negative power source.
- 6. Ensure the wiring connections created are sufficiently insulated from each other.
- 7. Reconnect the electric lift truck battery.
- Mounting the VC6000 Series on AC-powered Carts and Stationary Installation
- 1. Connect a ground wire between the VC6000 series and the facility ground system. The ground wire ring lugs should be connected to the Ground Point (GND) on the back of the VC6000 series using M4 screw.
- 2. Attach the 12 V DC cable of the Indoor Power Supply Unit to the Power Connector at the back of the VC6000 series and turn clockwise to lock. Rotate clockwise to lock the connector.
- 3. Connect the AC Cord into the Indoor Power Supply Unit.
- 4. Connect the plug of the AC Cord into a 100-240 V AC / 50-60 Hz Power Outlet.

- Connecting the Telemetry Cable (VC6096 only)
- Telemetry Cable
- 1. Plug the J1 connector into the Auxiliary port of the VC6000 series (See Back Features on page 7) and fasten the connection screws of the connector.
- 2. Plug connectors J2 and J3 to the telemetry receptacles of your vehicle data bus.
- 3. Connect the I/O Wires as required.
- Mounting the Combination Antenna (VC6096 only)
- 1. For best performance, it is recommended to install the antenna outside of the cabin. When installing the antenna in the vehicle cabin or indoors, keep a minimum distance of 70 cm (2.3 ft.) between the antenna and the VC6096.
- 2. The antenna should be directed vertically to the horizon to assure maximum exposure.
- 3. To ensure best performance, the antenna should be mounted as far away as possible from walls, floors and metal containing objects. Keep an obstacle free zone of 10 cm (3.9 inches) from walls, cabinets, air duct, metal-framed windows, doors etc.
- 4. When mounting the antenna inside the vehicle, it is recommended to install the antenna at the top right hand side of the windshield.
- Mounting the GPS Antenna (VC6096 only)
- 1. Recommended GPS antenna - Motorola part number 8508851K59.
- 2. The GPS antenna must be mounted on the top of the dashboard or vehicle roof. For best performance, install the GPS antenna on the center-line of the vehicle roof.
- 3. Keep a minimum distance of 40 cm (16 inches) between the Combination antenna and the GPS antenna.
- 4. The antenna is attached by a magnet to a flat metal surface (minimum 7 cm x 7 cm, 2.75 inches x 2.75 inches). Before mounting the GPS antenna on a dashboard, install a flat Metal Plate on the dashboard to hold the GPS antenna.
- 5. The antenna should be directed parallel to the horizon to assure exposure to as many satellites as possible.
- 6. If possible, the antenna location must not be obstructed by any structure or object. When mounting the antenna on a roof ensure at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of clear space around it.
