Overview of P120
Overview of P120
ThinkRF P120 is a small form factor Vehicular Power Conditioner (VPC) product,
designed to provide a regulated and 12VDC (±5%) 36W power source to
electrical equipments, including ThinkRF RTSA products, employed in a vehicular
environment. The VPC is design to protect the equipment from vehicular power
transients.
The P120 outputs a single reg12VDC under different input voltages ranging from
+8V to +32V, but can easily be modified for different output voltages (contact ThinkRF for
alternatives). The inputs and outputs are provided via strain-relieved 16 AWG cables
with 2-pin ML-XT Molex connectors.
The product has been tested to meet high and low
temperature requirements, shock, and vibration based on MIL-STD-PRF-28800.
Setting Up the P120
Ensure that you read and understand the following information about safety and
electrostatic discharge before you unpack and set up the P120.
Warning:
Read the installation instructions before you connect the product to its power
source.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a single-event, rapid transfer of electrostatic charge
between two objects, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. ESD can
occur when a high electrostatic field develops between two objects in close proximity.
ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and is one of the major
causes of device failures in the semiconductor industry. Always follow the steps in this
document to prevent ESD.
Warning:
Never open the P120 casing as personal injury may result and opening the
casing will void the warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Always contact
ThinkRF support for service through the online support form at

.
Caution:
Do not touch any exposed contact pins with bare hands, nor touching the two
exposed leads from a cable together when an active power source is running through the
