Getting Started
The Cab Control 400 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 400
Mounting Location
Metal structures surrounding the indicator and the Cab Control 400 may block the radio
signal. The Cab Control 400 is designed to work with the EZ indicator mounted inside the
cab of a truck or tractor and the Cab Control 400 mounted in a loader or tractor cab at
dashboard level or above.
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 400 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 400 is fused internally at 2 Amps but typically uses less than
0.20 Amps. The Orange and Blue wires are not connected.
