Warning:
Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For
8525 G2/8530 G2 installations on vehicles with batteries above
this voltage, ensure the 8525 G2/8530 G2 power connector is
mounted in a secure location out of the vehicle operator’s reach.

this voltage, ensure the 8525 G2/8530 G2 power connector is
mounted in a secure location out of the vehicle operator’s reach.
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure
that the unit’s power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator,
and is not exposed to water or other liquids. To accomplish this:
•
Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle,
away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a
sealed housing).

of the vehicle operators reach.
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be
followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the

Note: The metal chassis of the 8525 G2/8530 G2 is equipped with a ground lug
(located on the underside of the 8525 G2/8530 G2, beside the cable man-
agement bar) to provide an additional ground to the vehicle, if desired.
The grounding strap must connect from the ground stud on the vehicle-
mount to a solid, reliable contact point on the main portion of the vehicle
chassis. It must not be connected to battery negative or a terminal block.

chassis. It must not be connected to battery negative or a terminal block.
As with other vehicle cables, the routing of the ground strap should be carefully
considered to ensure it does not pose a hazard to the operator or the safe operation of
the vehicle. If necessary, secure the ground strap with cable ties or some other
mechanical means to prevent loops or loose lengths of wire from catching on
stationary items when the vehicle is in motion.
