14 Vehicle Mount Cradle
MX6 Cradle Reference Guide E-EQ-MX6DKRG-D-ARC
Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to
deteriorate.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with a panel containing Silicon Controller Rectifiers
(SCR's), avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to these devices.
Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance
of the vehicle.
Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly
sized "crimp" type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please
select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm
2
) conductors.

Note: LXE’s MX6 accepts a wide DC input voltage range. Do not connect the cradle
input power cable to the MX6 or any other LXE device or damage to that device
may occur.
4. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at
approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or
penetrate outer cable jacket.
5. Insert the power cable into the power jack on the vehicle cradle.
6. To relieve possible strain on the cradle power connector, provide mechanical support for
the power cable by securing it to the vchicle structure or mounting bracket no more than
six inches from the cradle power connector, taking care not to over tighten and pinch
conductors or penetrate the outer cable jacket. Ensure that there is some slack in the cable
between the connector and mechanical support to prevent pressure from being applied to
the power connector.
7. The vehicle cradle is ready for use.
