Recommended Fuse and Cable for hardwire install

Please contact your local authority for further details of your nearest designated collection point. The back surface of the truck charger allows connection to apparatus 12/24VDC systems using the terminal connector instead of the included AC/DC switching power supply. Please consult the appropriate installation services to safely and properly connect this to apparatus using the included terminal, fuse, and fuse holder.

Hardwired Mounting Instructions

1. Select a mounting location in the apparatus.
2. Use the AttackPRO truck charger itself (WITHOUT POWER CONNECTED) or use a template available from thermal.com to mark the mounting hole locations on the preferred mounting surface; these correspond to the 3 thru hole locations in the charger housing for mounting (a).
3. Install secured and permanent cables (not provided) running from the apparatus 12/24VDC supply to the rear of the AttackPRO truck charger at the selected mounting location, BUT DO NOT CONNECT THIS CABLE TO THE 12/24VDC SOURCE AT THIS TIME.
4. This cable routing must contain an in line fuse installed close to the battery (a fuse and fuse holder (b) is provided). Cables, crimps, and battery connectors are not provided.
5. Connect the positive and negative wires that will terminate at the AttackPRO truck charger to the included terminal connector (c) (green). Plug the terminal connector into the rear of AttackPRO truck charger (d), routing any cables thru the appropriate channels for clearance.
6. Attach the truck charger to the selected surface using the included self tapping screws or other hardware necessary to ensure the unit is secure and safely mounted.
7. Permanently connect the positive and negative cables (not provided) to the apparatus 12/24VDC supply.

Quick start guide

1. Place the truck charger on a suitable stable surface or securely mount to a horizontal or vertical surface, as above.
2. Plug the barrel end connector of the power supply into the back of truck charger (e), note power supply will need to be connected before step 1 if securely mounting the charger.
3. Determine the appropriate AC plug interface (US/EU/UK) for your region and attach to the power supply face.
4. Plug the power supply into a safe AC power source. The blue light on the charger (f) should indicate power received.
5. Place the battery in the battery charger well (g) with the label facing inward and the charging contacts pointed upward, and under the top contact cover plate (h). Make sure the bottom of the battery is properly seated in the retention slot (i). Secure the battery with the attached strap (j).
6. The LED on the charger should light as follows:
   • a. Solid RED = battery is charging.
   • b. Solid GREEN = battery is fully charged.
   • c. Blinking RED = there is an error with charging.
7. Place the AttackPRO thermal imaging camera in the camera charger well (l), with the display facing outward, and the upper surface near the label fitting under the upper retention lip (m) of the well. Make sure the bottom of the camera is properly seated in the retention slot (n). Secure with the attached strap (o).
8. The display on the AttackPRO should light and indicate charging status. The display will go dark after approx. 3 seconds. To wake the display and check charge status, press any button on the camera.
