An external power option can be installed in 

swampfox

 that can provide a switched 

13.8V supply up to 1A through pins 2 and 3 of the power connector as shown. This 
can be used to power an external device such as a cellular modem. 

With the 12V DC powering arrangement, a 12V DC supply is fed into the 

EXT 

BATT/DC

 connector. This connection is also used to charge an external SLA battery 

when the 

swampfox

 is powered via the 

POWER

 connection. When the 

POWER

 

connector is not used, the 

swampfox

’s internal battery must be removed. 

 

Connect an antenna before powering up swampfox 

Depth is 125mm, plus front clearance for 
wiring (at least 70mm for antenna jack)
