Electrical Guidelines

There are various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a vehicle such as a forklift.
Most electrically driven forklift vehicles have floating chassis connected to neither DC+ or DC-. However, electrical faults can cause the battery + or - to be connected to the chassis via low resistance paths. All connected peripherals must be completely isolated.
The device accepts DC power sources with a minimum of 10 VDC nominal and 48 VDC nominal. A Power Pre-regulator is required for voltages above 48 VDC nominal.
Applying a voltage above 48 VDC nominal without the pre-regulator or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the device and voids the product warranty.
Attach the device connecting cable as close to the battery as possible. Connecting the device to large electrical loads, such as converters for the forklift motor may result in random restarts, malfunctions and/or irreparable damage to the device.
To connect devices fed by other power sources to the device, such as printers, power up the peripheral devices at the same time or after the device to avoid start-up problems, malfunctions, or irreparable damage to the device.
