Follow
Connecting P120 and Cables
section for the proper instructions on putting
together the cables.
4’ Cigarette Lighter Plug to Female MX-LT Connector Cable
The 4’ 16 AWG cigarette lighter plug to female ML-XT Plug cable allows users to
conveniently make use of a car cigarette lighter receptacle (also known as 12V socket
port) to provide the required voltage to the P120.
Warning
: DO NOT connect this 12V source from the car directly to the 12V port of any
electrical equipment (such as RTSAs) in any way without using the P120. The voltage
output from the 12V socket will fluctuate, potentially causing damage to the equipment.
12’ Loose Leads, Stranded Solder to Female MX-LT Plug Cable
As shown in the following picture, this Power Input cable consists of Red and Black loose
leads, stranded solder attached to a 12’ 14 AWG cable, which is then terminated with a
Female Molex ML-XT Plug. This cable allows user to attach to any power source that
meets the output power range specified in P120 Datasheet. Some examples of such
source are a car battery or a programmable DC power supply.
