How To: Connect VX7 to a Remotely Mounted UPS Battery Pack
1. Connect the power cable to the vehicle’s electrical system as described in “Connect Vehicle
12-80VDC Connection”.
2. Connect the power cable to the UPS battery pack by aligning the water-tight connector pins
to the input connector (labeled “From Vehicle”); push down on the water-tight connector and
twist it to fasten securely.
3. Connect the output cable (labeled “To Computer”) from the UPS battery pack to the extension
cable by aligning the water-tight connector to the input end of the extension cable; push
down on the water-tight connector and twist it to fasten securely.
4. Route the extension cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum
temperature of 105°C (221°F). When routing this cable it should be protected from physical
damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature.
Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to
deteriorate. Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and
maintenance of the vehicle.
Note:If the vehicle is equipped with a panel containing Silicon Controller Rectifiers (SCR’s),
avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to these devices.
5. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at
approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or
penetrate outer cable jacket.
6. Connect the output end of the extension cable to the power connector on the bottom of the
VX7 by aligning the water-tight connector to the power connector; push down on the water-
tight connector and twist it to fasten securely.
7. Turn the VX7 on.
