Kenworth T680/T880 - Special Parts Recommendations

T680s can be installed using only the standard parts, but a cleaner install requires purchase of a display mount and

power connectors. Note that the plate and pins are not PeopleNet parts.

RAM T680 Display Mount Power Connector Option 1 – Pins Only

RAM Part RAM-202U-PE05 TE Connectivity Part 1-968851-1

This bracket replaces the right-hand dash panel, giving the

display a sturdy base, providing a position for the PMG to mount, and saving the vehicle panel from damage. The part is available

directly from RAM Mounts. www.rammounts.com

This pin crimps to the PeopleNet Power Assembly, allowing

direct connect to the vehicle power spares. The alternative is to cut and splice existing vehicle wires. The pins are available

online by searching on the pin part number.

Power Connector Option 2 - Assembly

PeopleNet Part L-016-0537 (labeled for Cascadia)

This assembly includes the same pins as above, but they are already crimped to power leads. These are available from

PeopleNet.

Kenworth T680/T880 – Display Option 2

This mount uses the same location as Option 1, but without adding the RAM plate. Because the mount is to

plastic, there is some risk of breakage as the plastic ages.

Optional PTO Connection

The PACCAR Factory PTO is multi-plexed. If PTO is desired and the unit has a factory switch,

connect to an airline following the recommendations in the Support Center PTO guide

If the vehicle has a non-factory PTO switch, test the switch and light looking for a 12 volt or

Ground switched output to connect
