C.3.2 Using a Temporary Connection to the Automotive
EN-2000 for Testing and Evaluation
For quick testing and evaluation, the automotive EN-2000’s DC connector can use
a temporary connection to one of the automobile’s 12V accessory sockets
(formerly called cigarette-lighter outlets).
Contact your vendor for the adapter cable to connect the automotive EN-2000’s
DC connector to a 12V accessory socket. The tip of the adapter plug for the 12V
accessory socket is positive (+); the wings (on the side of the plug) are
negative (–). If that cable is not available, the customer will need to build the
cable.
Warning:
Connection to the 12V accessory socket is only for quick testing
purposes. That connection quickly drains the automotive battery. If your
organization chooses to use a temporary connector to a 12V accessory socket,
set up that connection for immediate shut-off when the vehicle is not in use.
Encore Networks, Inc., does not endorse installation of an automotive EN-2000
via connection to a 12V accessory socket.
