WIRING THE SPECIAL RS-232 CABLE INTO THE IB – TRUCK KIT ONLY – XTEND
MODEM:
Power should be off to the Interconnect Box before connections are made.
The special RS-232 cable included with the truck kit provides the communication to the wireless
modem and also the modem power. Modem power is provided from the V+ power coming into
the Interconnect Box. Normally the V+ wire is Red.
Install the cord grip in the interconnect box and connect the cable wires by color according the
pictures. The connectors in the IB are only designed for up to 18 gage wire, so splitting the V+
into the IB may be necessary. You can shorten the cable if you like.
