Chapter 2 — Installing the Forklift Power Supply
10 PB50 and PW50 Forklift Power Supply Installation Guide
Installation Recommendations
Review the forklifts you want to use before you start. Plan the
installation by following these safety and utility
recommendations:
• Install the power cable at the forklift power source if possible
or at the point where the connection is first made to the lift.
• Keep the power cable length as short as possible.
• Connect the negative lead to a point on the lift that other
electronic systems use.
• Read the label on the power supply and verify that the input
voltage rating is correct for the forklift in which you will be
installing the PB50 or PW50.
• Remember that the supply with the lower input voltage rating
(6-60 Vx) has a 4-pin input connector.
• Design a bracket that would be common to multiple lifts with
pre-attached devices to simplify the device installation and
service. Designing a common bracket would reduce your
installation time because the mounting bracket would be
more straightforward and consistent. It would also simplify
service because you can take the entire bracket down and
replace it with another bracket while troubleshooting the
system away from the lift.
