into consideration the driver ’s field of view and ease of accessing the
vehicle computer.

• Install the appropriate mounting hardware.

• Connect the vehicle computer to the vehicle’s wiring system.

Positioning the Vehicle Computer

• Determine the best position for the vehicle computer and all the

associated components. If a similar vehicle computer was previously
installed, check to see if the position it used is suitable for the
VC5090.

• Test the installation for at least 30 minutes before installing on another

vehicle. Record all details:

8 VC5090 Vehicle Computer

- Check that the positions

of the vehicle computer
does not obstruct
vehicle controls.

- Check that the vehicle

computer does not
obstruct the driver's
view.

- Check the position of

the vehicle computer for
user comfort over long
periods.

- Check positioning to

avoid extreme wrist
angles that may cause injury.

Mounting the Vehicle Computer
Important Fixing Information

Any modification to supplied mounting bracket could cause early failure
of the unit/mountings.

• A minimum of four fixing positions must be used.

• All nuts and bolts must be checked periodically and tightened if

required.

• When installing the vehicle computer, care must be taken to ensure

that the mounting bracket footprint is fully supported. Additional plates
may be required to achieve this.

Mounting Bracket Template

Refer to the VC5090 Product Reference Guide for mounting template.

Mounting on a Dashboard or Horizontal Surface

The diagram below illustrates a typical installation where the vehicle
computer is mounted on a dashboard or hortizontal flat surface.

Routing Electrical Cables

• Establish a neat route for the cable, staying clear of moving parts or

hot surfaces wherever possible.

• Fix the cable to existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties,

but make sure they are away from any moving or hot surfaces.

• When the cabling must go through a panel, use a suitable gland.

• When fixing the conduit or cable on the outside of a vehicle, use

P-Clips. Either drill and tap the hole or use a nut and bolt to secure the
clip.

• Make sure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum

recommended radius is 2.5".

• Solder all fuse holders. DO NOT crimp.

• After soldering the fuse holder, file the solder flat where it comes in

contact with the fuse.

• On electric vehicles, take the power from as close to the battery as

possible, but not directly from the battery terminals, and not before
any main fuse.

12 VC5090 Vehicle Computer

• On gasoline, diesel or propane vehicles, take the power from as close

to the battery terminals as possible, and avoid using existing wirin g.

• All fuses must be as close as possible to the power source.

• If you are unsure of the correct power source, contact the vehicle

manufacturer for more information.

12-24V Gasoline, Diesel, or Propane Forklifts

• All power wiring must use the supplied power cable.

• Fuse in positive rail = 20A

• Fuse in negative rail = 20A

• Fuse in switch ed positive = 1A

• Keep the path between the battery and the vehicle computer as short

as possible, and away from any part of the ignition high tension
system.

WARNING! A lead acid battery can leak hydrogen gas. A spark

anywhere near the battery can cause it to explode.
Always make your final connection to power as far
away from the battery as possible, i.e., connect the
power cable to the battery first, then the vehicle
computer.

CAUTION Use extreme care when routing and securing this

cable from the vehicle computer to the vehicle
power source. Hazards associated with improper
wiring can be severe. To avoid unintentional contact
between the wire and any sharp edges, use proper
bushings and clamping where the cable passes
through openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp
surfaces and excess engine vibration, the wiring
harness insulation can wear away, causing a short
between the bare wire and chassis. This can start a
fire.

Quick Reference Guide 13

1. Connect the green wire to the vehicle's chassis. If you cannot find a

close connection point, solder an extra length of cable to the green
wire to extend the connection to the chassis. Use a heat shrink to
cover the solder joint.

2. Crimp a ring terminal onto the green wire and screw the ring terminal

into the vehicle metal work. Or, if a bolt connection exists, attach the
ring terminal to this connection (check the connection with a
multi-meter to the vehicle chassis if you’re not sure).

3. Place a fuse holder in-line of the red, black and yellow wires

approximately four inches from the cable end, as shown below.

4. Solder the fuse terminal ends to the wire to ensure a proper electrical

connection. Use a heat shrink to cover the solder joint.

available connector.

• If the vehicle has no power output connector , use a ring terminal (for a

battery post) or blade terminal (for a fuse panel).

6. Connect the yellow wire to the vehicle's ignition switch. If you do not

plan on using the ignition switch connection, connect the yellow wire
to the vehicle’s positive power source.

See your vehicle Owner's Manual for more information.

7. Ensure the wiring connections created are sufficiently insulated from

each other .

8. Re-connect the vehicle battery .

9. Insert the power cable connector into the vehicle computer's Power

port. Align the keyway on the power connector with the notch on the
vehicle computer’s power port.
