Getting Started
The Cab Control 2.4 allows the loader operator to
communicate via radio signal to a properly equipped EZ
indicator. Once in contact with an indicator, the Cab Control
allows the loader operator to view the indicator display and
control the indicator by pressing buttons on the Cab Control
front panel.
Installing Cab Control 2.4
Mounting Location
Metal structures surrounding the indicator and the Cab
Control 2.4 may block the radio signal. The Cab Control 2.4
is designed to work with the EZ indicator mounted inside the
cab of a truck and the Cab Control 2.4 mounted in a loader
or tractor cab at, or above, dashboard level.
Connecting Power
Power can be obtained directly from either a 12 Volt or a 24
Volt electrical system or for stationary applications, from a
120VAC to 12VDC power cube that plugs into a wall outlet.
Warning! Disconnect the Cab Control 2.4 power cord
before jump-starting or fast-charging the
battery.
Connect the RED wire from the power cable to 12VDC or
24VDC and the BLACK wire to GROUND. The Cab Control
2.4 is fused internally at 2 Amps but typically uses less than
0.20 Amps. The Orange and Blue wires are not connected.
