DC Input Power (Optional)
Connection of DC input power to the Consolette is offered as an option. The Consolette power
supply supports a DC input of 13.8VDC +/- 10%.
1.
First, install the Consolette as described in section 2.3, "Station Mounting Procedures," on
page 2-1.
2.
An external inline fuse is required when DC power is used. Connect the mobile power cable
3085059D05 with the inline 20 Amp fuse to the standard mobile radio connector on the rear
of the Consolette marked “DC”. See
Figure 3-3., "Rear Panel," on page 3-3
.
NOTE:
Top and bottom pins of “DC” are the negative and positive terminals, respectively, and are
marked with a “-“and a “+”.
3.
Connect the mobile power cable 3085059D05 leads to the battery.
NOTE:
The ground pin of the battery connector on the Consolette is connected to earth (chassis)
ground. As is the case with connecting any battery, care must be taken when connecting up
the Consolette – red to red, black to black. Damage to all of the equipment could occur if the
connections are incorrect.
4.
The DC power does not pass through the ON/OFF rocker switch of the power supply, so the
Consolette will be powered “on” as soon as DC input power is applied (or takes over upon
loss of AC).
5.
The power-on LED on the front of the Consolette will be lit amber when the unit is powered
from a DC source. Refer to
section 4.18
for information regarding an AC Power Fail alert
when powered using DC.

Power On/Off
3.6.1
Power On/Off using an AC source
To power on the Consolette using an AC source, first apply AC power to the rear of the unit per the
installation instructions in
3.5.2, "AC Power Input," on page 3-4
. Then move the rocker switch on the
rear panel from the “O” to the “I” setting. The Consolette will now power up and is operational. If
equipped with an O5 control head, the Consolette will display the factory default Zone and Channel
on the O5 display after power up.
The factory default setting of the Ignition Switch is set to “Ignition Only Power-Up” in Consolette
models. With this configuration, when there is a loss of AC power, the Consolette will automatically
turn back on when AC power is restored. Move the rocker switch on the rear panel from “I” back to
“O” to remove AC power from the unit. The unit will now power off as long as there is no DC input to
the Consolette.
NOTE:
Previous models of the Consolette required the AC cord to be removed in order to turn off the
unit. This is no longer required with the new Consolette.
To prevent damage to the Consolette, be sure to use a battery
that is connected only to the Consolette. Disconnect both
battery terminals from the Consolette when connecting the
battery to any other equipment, including a battery charger.
Be sure to observe proper polarity when making the DC
power connections.
