Provided with the kit are crimp lugs that can be attached to the ends of the black and green junction box
power wires, and a self-stripping tap connector that can be used to tap the red wire into an existing truck
power wire (gure 4-26). Make sure that the wire being tapped is a switched accessory line. To use
the tap connector, place the unstripped end of the junction box power wire into the side with the closed
end, then slip the power wire from the truck into the other side. Use pliers to drive the metal tap through
the wires and ush with the surface, then close the hinged cover until it snaps into place (gure 4-27).
With all connections completed turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The E4000 will power up as
indicated by the LCD back light illuminating. Replace the E4000 register cover taking care to position the
cover gasket correctly.
Check that the printer power light is illuminated. Replace the junction box cover. To congure and calibrate
the E4000 before it enters service refer to Section 5 of this manual.
RED (TRUCK POWER +12 VDC): Attach to a switched accessory circuit on the truck fuse panel or use
the supplied self-stripping power tap to connect to a switched accessory line (below).
BLACK (TRUCK POWER COMMON): Attach to the negative terminal of the battery, and verify that the re-
sistance from the terminal connection to the negative terminal of the battery is less than 1 ohm (measured
with power to the E4000 system switched off).
GREEN (TRUCK FRAME): Attach to the negative terminal of the battery, and verify that the resistance
from the terminal connection to the negative terminal of the battery is less than 1 ohm (measured with
power to the E4000 system switched off).
Caution: The E4000 system will not function reliably unless two separate grounds of less than 1
ohm are used.
