8. Secure the power cables on both sides of the power supply with
cable ties as close as possible to the connectors.
Ignition Sensing
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. 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.
The power cable must be connected to the ignition switch or key switch.
See Forklifts and Trucks with 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V Batteries on page
33 for information on connecting the power cable to enable the Ignition
Sense feature.
