5. Connect the
YELLOW
wire to the vehicle accessory
power. If the accessory power is unavailable, this may be
connected to a vehicle ignition voltage. It is recommended
to add a 1A fuse between them. The accessory wire
enables the SatDOCK-G 9555 to turn on and off as the
vehicle key is enabled or disabled. If this function is not
required, the
YELLOW
wire MUST be connected to the
RED
wire.
Wiring for a Marine Application
When installed in a marine application using the DC power cable,
the
YELLOW
wire can be wired to a suitable panel switch which
will allow the SatDOCK-G 9555 to be turned off when not in use.
Horn Output
The SatDOCK-G provides a
BLUE
wire output on the rear cable loom for
controlling an external ringer such as a
vehicle horn.
The horn output is an open-collector
output capable of sinking up to 120mA
current. It CANNOT be connected to the
vehicle horn directly and an automotive
grade relay must be used to control the
horn as shown below.
By default, it only works when the key ignition is OFF and the
SatDOCK-G is still ON (by default, the SatDOCK-G will stay on for
20 minutes after the key ignition is turned OFF). This is to avoid
the horn buzzing on an incoming call while the vehicle is being
driven.
If the horn output needs to be ON all the time when the key
ignition is OFF, the SatDOCK-G can be configured to ignore
the key ignition input via the SDMS.
If the horn output needs to be ON when the key ignition is ON, the
SatDOCK-G can also be configured to do that via the SDMS.

6) Connect the Intelligent Handset (extra option)
The intelligent handset provides
the user with a dial pad and LCD
display. The Intelligent handset
allows the user to make calls or
send/receive SMS without having
access to the 9555 handset.
The Intelligent handset can be
installed up to 30 meters (using a
certified Beam extension cable)
away from the SatDOCK-G cradle.
The intelligent handset is enabled
when it is removed from the cup. However, if both the intelligent
and privacy handsets are enabled, the privacy handset always
has the higher priority.
7) Connect Power
Once all the components are installed, apply power to the
SatDOCK-G 9555 via the 4-way Microfit® connector using
the DC power cable.
The DC power cable has three wires,
RED
, BLACK
and
YELLOW
.
The
RED
and
BLACK
wires are used for the power
connection while the
YELLOW
wire can be connected to a
vehicle’s accessories, ignition or other similar circuits to control
the ON/OFF status of the SatDOCK-G 9555 in synchronization
with a vehicles operation. By default, the SatDOCK-G 9555 will
stay on for 20 minutes after this input is switched off and if a call
is in progress while this occurs, the SatDOCK-G 9555 will stay on
for 20 minutes after the call is terminated.
Please follow the steps below to connect the DC power cable to
the vehicle battery power and the SatDOCK-G 9555.
1.
Connect the 4-way Microfit connector on the DC power
cable to the 4-way power connector on the rear cable loom
of the SatDOCK-G 9555.
2. Route the other end of the DC power cable to the
connection point. DO NOT apply power until the following
steps are completed.
3. Connect the
BLACK
wire to the negative terminal of the
battery (10A fuse recommended) or the vehicle chassis (if
negatively grounded chassis).
4. Connect the
RED
wire to the positive terminal of the battery.
It is recommended to add a 3A fuse between them.
