IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
zUse only SAE J1128 Type GPT number 16 AWG stranded wire (minimum) to attach the
docking station to the vehicle's electrical system.
zConnect lead wires to the Docking Station (recommend using quick disconnects as shown in
(Figure 1) Caution: The disconnect must be easily accesible. When assembling the Quick
Disconnects use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-1525,CT-1550 OR CT-1551.
zRoute the lead wires to the battery. Total wire in the circuit must not exceed 30 feet and
must conform to SAE standard J1128.
zProtect the lead wires from abrasion and chafing by using wire loom or conduit, and route
away from moving parts or areas where high temperatures may occur.
zConnection of the supply voltage (V+) must be kept as close to the battery as possible.
zThe power connection must be made with the 10 amp in-line fuse and fuse holder provided
with the dock. Connect the fuse holder to the lead wire using the butt splice connectors
provided with fuse holder. When assembling the butt splice connectors use only Panduit
crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-1525 or CT-1551.
The fuse holder location must be kept within 10 inches of the connection to the
battery positive, away from moving parts, and temperatures that exceed 180 degrees F.
Caution: If the fuse holder requires replacement it should be replaced by qualified service
personnel using Littelfuse part number FHM1 (Gamber-Johnson part number 11689). This
device conforms to ASTM standard D471 and SAE standard J1128.
zFuse must be inserted in supplied fuse holder. Caution: For continued protection against risk
of fire replace only with the same type and rating of supplied fuse. The provided fuse is UL
Listed, rated at 10 amp, 32 volt AC/DC fast acting.
zIf a timing device is used follow the instructions of the manufacturer of that device. It must
be wired in-line with the supply voltage (V+) to the docking station.
zIf you have any installation questions, please call Gamber-Johnson customer support at
