Trux Configuration Guide
2.7.3 Conductors, Terminals and Strain Relief
It is important to use adequate tools in order to be able to make proper termination, cutting and crimping.
Cables and terminals needs to be properly relieved from strains with e.g. bundle bands, in order not to
vibrate loose and cause risk for hardware and personal damage.
2.7.4 Bundle Band (UV- and Oil resistant)
The bundle bands should be resistant to chemical fuels, oils and UV light (black). Fastening of cables shall
be done in such manner that no risk of damage of surrounding equipment is at stake. It is recommended to
attach bundle bands and cables with existing cable to ensure stability and durability.
2.7.5 Conduit Entries and Cable Ports
It is recommended to protect cables in transitions with cable ports. A drilled hole may be very crude and
could inflict severe damage on cables and in the long run the electrical equipment. Depending on
transition, bend radius and material various types exists.
2.7.6 DC/DC Placement and Mounting
The location of the power converter and screen blanking relay is preferably near the truck’s control wiring.
The placement surface shall be smooth and level and preferably on the metal chassis to ensure cooling. The
DC/DC shall be fastened with screws and washers of correct dimension and length to ensure sustainability
against vibration and bumps. If the DC/DC has a lid to better protect the cable terminations, be sure to
reinstall the lid to protect the wiring.
Other considerations are to not mount the DC/DC too far away from the Trux computer and situated in
such place where it is not in the way of operation for the operator.
