data and Power Cable

The LCR 600 shipment typically includes a gray 40'

power cable and a 40' black data cable prewired to

terminal blocks on the LCR 600 CPU board. On typical

truck installations, the cables must be routed from the

back of the truck, where the LCR 600 is installed, to

the front of the truck, where the accessory panel is and

the printer is typically installed. The black data cable

connects to the printer, typically mounted in the truck

cab. The gray power cable hooks up to a power source.

During installation, follow these guidelines and ensure

the cables remain undamaged.

Guidelines for routing the data and power cables

on the outside of the truck

LC recommends that both cables be run through ¾”

automotive plastic corrugated split loom or through

flexible liquid-tight conduit for protection.

Make sure the loom or conduit runs down the inside edge

of the trucks frame rail and fasten every 2’ with cable ties.

Install rubber grommets to protect the cables where they

pass through the cab wall, meter box, etc.

Keep the cables away from heat sources such as the

engine exhaust, manifold, exhaust pipe, mufflers, etc.

If the cable glands are removed from the register, apply

pipe sealant or PTFE tape on the gland threads before

re-installing.

Keep cables away from moving suspension components

and other moving truck components.

If the cables are shortened, make sure you use the

proper tool for stripping off the insulation on the cables.

Make sure cables are connected to the proper terminal.

Instructions for hooking up

power to the printer and the

LCR 600 begin on pg. 29.

Guidelines for routing the data and power cables

inside the cab

Layout positions for the component and pathways for the

cables before beginning.

Make sure the printer and the wires will not obstruct other

vehicle components.

• Keep cable pathways away from heavy traffic areas and

locations where they may be vulnerable to damage.

Remember to save room around the components so

cables can be easily connected.

Avoid installing the cable where it will be exposed to

excessive flexing.

Make sure cables are not pulled too tight in areas that will

move. For example, when wiring cab-over trucks, leave

enough slack so the cab can be tilted without damaging

the cable.

Make sure cables are not fastened to adjustable seats.
