AUXILIARY BATTERY – Remove the cable grip nut from the logic box and place it on the battery
(#16-3) cable with the threads facing out. Thread the wires through the appropriate cable grip
hole on the logic box (Figure 3). Pull enough cable through the cable grip to ensure a good fit.
Tighten the cable grip nut and attach the individual wires to the proper terminals (Figure 2).
D. CABLE REEL ATTACHMENT
These instructions are to attach the cable reel in between the logic box and the lower control box along
with the power source (Figure 3).
IMPORTANT CABLE REEL NOTE: YOU MUST SUPPLY ADEQUATE WIRE SIZE FOR THE POWER
SOURCE TO OPERATE THE MONITOR PROPERLY (equivalent to 12 awg). YOU MUST USE 20 AWG OR
LARGER FOR THE CONTROLLER WIRES. AKRON BRASS SUPPLIED CABLE REEL HAS 100 FOOT OF
USABLE CABLE. DO NOT EXTEND LADDER FURTHER THAN THE USABLE CABLE LENGTH.
STEP 9
Mount the cable reel in the desired position. Mount the guides at the beginning of each sec-
tion of the ladder. Place the cable through the guides and up to the logic box. Secure the
cable to the top portion of the ladder with cable clamps. Remove ball stop and place in appro-
priate position.
NOTE: Cable may not have same color of wires as shown on Figure 2. Label wire color to
function for future reference.
STEP 10 Remove the cable grip nut from the logic box and place it on the cable reel cable with the
threads facing out. Thread the wires through the appropriate cable grip hole on the logic box.
Pull enough cable through the grip to ensure a good fit. Tighten the cable grip nut and attach
the controller wires to the proper terminals (Figure 2).
STEP 11 Use the rest of the wires for the power source. You will need to use more than one wire for the
positive and negative connections if the wire size is smaller than 12 AWG. Make the appropri-
ate connections to the vehicle battery terminal and the ground terminal in the logic box.
Reattach the logic box cover and secure with the 6 screws.
STEP 12 Open the junction box on the cable reel. Attach the lower control box wires to the proper
color-coded wires. Attach the power leads in the junction box to the vehicle battery. Close the
junction box and test all functions before using.
NOTE: Wire color at junction box may not correspond to wire color at logic box. Use caution
and verify corresponding color of wires.
E. MECHANICAL MONITOR ATTACHMENT
This unit is equipped with a quick acting clamp which is adjustable to fit the rung spacing of most aerial
ladders. It is pre-set at the plant to fit a rung spacing of 15
ing to your ladder.
NOTE: Round rung ladders require different clamps than square rung ladders. Do not use if clamps do not
match rung shape. Contact Akron Brass for clarification.
To install the pipe on your aerial, follow the simple steps outlined below (Figure 4).
1. Hook upper clamp (1) over top rung and drop the pipe into position.
2. To unlock the handle, compress the safety catch (2) completely with palm of your hand.
3. Raise locking handle (3) completely.
4. Place lower clamp (4) under the second rung and lower the locking handle into the fully locked posi-
tion.
5. If your rung spacing is other than 15
6. Loosen the five screws both front (5) and rear (6).
7. With the handle in the locked position, slide the entire lower bracket until the second rung fits snugly
into the bottom of the lower clamp. (You may need to lightly tap the bracket with a leather or rubber
mallet.)
8. Unlock the handle as described in Steps 2 and 3 and slide the entire bracket upward approximately
