Electrical Guidelines
The power range requirement for operating the LXN 500 is 9 to 33VDC. The maximal power
consumption of the LXN 500 is 70 Watts.
CAUTION The LXN 500 is installed in a vehicle with a negative-ground electrical system.
DO NOT install the
LXN 500 in a vehicle with a positive-ground electrical system.
Be sure that the vehicle’s electrical system is in good condition. Faults in the alternator and ignition
system can be a source of severe Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and can result in LXN 500 system
operating problems. Correct any problems in the alternator output, ignition system, and battery condition
before beginning the installation.
The vehicle must have an alternator that can produce a high-current output at low speed (below 18
m.p.h. or 29 km/h) and in an idle state. It also needs the highest rated heavy-duty battery av
he vehicle.
t
ailable for
If used, the input power cable of the Optional Power Protection and Back-up Unit must be directly
connected to the (+) terminal of car battery and the (-) to the car chassis (See Figure 3-6).
Ground Polarity
The LXN 500 system will only operate in negative ground electrical systems. Check the ground polarity
of the vehicle before starting the LXN 500 system installation to verify that the polarity is correct.
Accidentally reversing the polarity will not damage the LXN 500, but will cause the fuse of the power
cable to blow.
Due to advanced vehicle assembly techniques, different parts of the vehicle chassis may not be
connected to the battery negative terminal. Connecting the ground leads of several devices with a
common power supply at different locations on the chassis, may cause GROUND potential differences
between these locations and damage the LXN 500 system or any other installed equipment.
FIRST CHECK that the vehicle chassis point to which you are about to connect the negative lead is
properly connected to the battery negative terminal. If the chassis is not properly grounded, connect the
negative lead directly to the battery's negative terminal.

When the LXN 500 and the mobile workstation are mounted on a mount or next to each other, use a
10AWG ground wire to connect between the body of the LXN 500 and other units. The ground wire ring
lugs must be connected, on one side, to one of the screw holes used to secure the LXN 500 to the
mounting bracket and on the other side to the vehicle chassis.
IMPORTANT Vehicle common ground points (chassis) should be measured against the vehicle battery
negative terminal for no more than 1/2 Ohm.

Installing the Optional Power Protection and Back-up Unit
The Power Protection and Back-up Unit (NAV-PAC) is an optional unit that protects the LXN 500 from
Voltage spikes during engine cranking, power surges, momentary power losses, abrupt voltage changes
and noise interference on incoming from the vehicle power system.
54
The NAV-PAC includes a back-up battery pack that acts as a power reservoir and is charged from the
vehicle battery. In the event of a drop in DC Voltage due to engine cranking or total power interruption,
the battery maintains power to LXN 500 for a limited period of time. This is essential for preventing brutal
shut-down, and memory or data loss.
