2. Connect the red wire directly to the vehicle's battery positive terminal.
Connect the black wire directly to the vehicle's battery negative
terminal.
3. Connect the yellow wire to the vehicle's ignition or key switch if such
is used. If you do not plan on using the Ignition Sense feature, connect
the yellow wire directly to the vehicle’s battery positive terminal.
4. Ensure the wiring connections created are sufficiently insulated
from each other.
5. Re-connect the vehicle battery.
6. Connect the power cable connector into the vehicle computer's
Power port. Align the keyway on the power connector with the notch
on the vehicle computer’s power port.
7. If the power supply is mounted remotely from the VC70, use
25-159549-01 extender cable to connect between the power supply
and the VC70.
NOTE The vehicle computer contains an Ignition Sense feature
that detects when the ignition switch or key switch is turned
off and shuts the vehicle computer down after a
pre-programmed time-out. This feature allows the operator
to use the vehicle computer for a predetermined time
period after the ignition switch or key switch is turned off,
then shuts the vehicle computer down automatically to
prevent over-discharge of the forklift battery. The time-out
period is adjustable by the user (see Ignition Sensing on
page 36 for setting the time-out value). The normal current
draw of a suspended vehicle computer is approximately
500mA. When the vehicle computer shuts down using the
Ignition Sense feature, current draw is reduced to
approximately 5 mA. This feature provides the automatic
shutoff functionality of an external relay, without requiring
an actual relay and has the added benefit of allowing the
user to work for a preset time period before shutting down.
NOTE See the vehicle Owner's Manual for specific wiring
information.
