Routing the Power/Serial Communications Cable
Special care should be taken when routing the power/serial communications cable (if the standard coil wired
version is used). To ensure that the signal cable is installed properly and away from situations that could cause it
harm use the following steps.
1. Mount the indicator to the forklift per instructions in Section
3.1.
2. Lay the coiled up signal cable along the route between the indicator and the forklift scale.

Note
The preferred route is through the center of the mast. If it has a three stage mast, route alongside the mast as
shown in Figure
3-7.
