Step 2—Measure and Connect Dc Power
The power applied to transceivers (AP and Remotes) must be within 6–30VDC and be
capable of continuously providing a minimum of 11 Watts. (Typical power consumption is 800
mA at 13.8VDC for the AP and 600 mA at 13.8VDC for Remotes.)
A power connector with screw terminals is provided with each radio. Strip the wire leads to 6
mm (0.25"). Be sure to observe proper polarity, as shown in below, with the positive lead (+)
on the left and the negative lead (-) on the right.
It takes about 30 seconds for the AP transceiver to power up and be ready for operation. The
Remote requires approximately five seconds to power up.
Caution
The transceiver must be used only with negative-ground systems. Make sure the polarity of
the power source is correct. The radio is protected from reverse polarity by an internal diode
and an on-board fuse.
