Guidelines for Routing Cables

• Establish a ne at route for t he cable, stayi ng clear o f moving part s or hot surfaces.

• Fix the cable to an existing cable runs inside the vehicle using cable ties.

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

• When fixing a conduit or a cable on the outside of a vehicle, use P-Clips. Either dril l and ta p the hole or use a nut and bo lt to secu re the clip.

• Ensure the cable does not have tight bends. The minimum recommended radius is 6.35 cm (2.5 inches).

• Ensure cables do not swing or chafe on the structure. This often requires using cable ties approximately every one foot, and ensuring the cables do not flex often, especially where they connect to the VC6000 series.

• If you must re-position the VC6000 serie s occa siona lly, ensu re there is enough slack in the cable to accommodate movement without putting tension on the cable.

• Take the power from as close to the battery terminals as possible, and avoid using existing wiring.

• Ensure that all fuses are as close as possible to the power source.

• Use plastic cable ties to secure the cables to the cable tie bracket of the VC6000.
