Installation
Section 3
A Typical Installation
1. Locate and mount the cradle using appropriate screw and anchors for
the location and material.
2. Attach end of DC power cord or AC converter to charging cradle by
inserting round plug into power connection port in the side of the
charging cradle.
Note: When disconnecting plugs, grasp the plug body itself; never pull
on cord.
Direct Wire–Vehicle Installation 12–14 Volt Only (Not for 24-Volt Systems)
A 4' power accessory cord is available to facilitate the direct-wiring of the rechargeable system (Fig. 19). Mag Instrument recommends
using only an ignition-switched (fused) circuit, and preferably the lowest output available (5 amps or less). This is most often the radio
or accessory fuse. The red (positive) lead is connected to the fuse output, and the black (negative) ground wire should be attached to a
metal part of the chassis, which serves as a battery ground return.
