2. 81713000 Control Module
The 81713000 control module is a rugged, watertight unit, allowing it to be installed anywhere within
reach of the wiring harnesses. The cables should be routed away from any heat sources, and be
protected from sharp corners. They should be tied down securely to prevent fretting or fraying due to
vehicular vibrations. Securely mount the module to the vehicle. Connect the monitor connector to the
monitor wiring harness. Connect the control connector to the wiring harness coming from the control
box (or optional joystick). Connect the power connector to the fused power source. The control
module can be supplied by either a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source determined by monitor voltage
requirements. See Section III.A. Monitor Controller Specifications.

3. 81122001 Control Box & 81172001 Joystick Control Box (Optional)
The control boxes can be mounted using the mounting holes provided inside of the boxes. Any
modification of the boxes themselves will void the Elkhart Brass warranty on the device. The
connector attaching the wiring harness to the control box should be inserted straight into the
mating connector on the box. Be sure to align the key with the keyway. There should be no need
to force the connectors together. The locking ring on the connector will give a positive indication
when it has locked to the connector body.
The control boxes should be mounted in a location where the wiring harness connecting to the box
will have 2 - 3 inches of straight cable before beginning a bend (see Figure 13). This will remove
stress from the connector, and prevent damage.
