Choosing a Power Supply
Consider these factors when choosing a power supply:
1. Input voltage: 19V to 30V DC or 19V to 27V AC RMS @47 to 63 Hz
In-rush current: 8A maximum, ≤25 ms.
(See Power Requirements on Page 1 for additional Encompass 6
requirements)
2. Operating temperature of power supply and power cable
3. Power cable gauge and length: 12 to 22 AWG cable, depending on
length of cable route

Equipment Licensing
The user is required to obtain a Part 90 site license from the FCC to
operate the unit in the United States. Access the FCC Web site at
www.fcc.gov
for more information.
FCC ID: FIHMPI6000 A
Users in all countries should check with the appropriate local
authorities for licensing requirements.
Start Up
Perform the following startup procedures:
1. Connect antenna to Encompass 6 at RF MONO port.
2. Connect COM1 or Ethernet cable depending on communication
configuration.
3. Connect other options as needed.
4. Connect AC or DC power to Encompass 6. Power LEDs should light.
5. Encompass 6 starts up in Mode 0 (Stop).
6. Set commands as required for your configuration.
7. Send Set Mode command to Encompass 6 from host.
Troubleshooting
Perform these troubleshooting procedures:
1. Make sure all connectors are secure.
2. Make sure Encompass 6 is powered up by checking Power LEDs.
3. Make sure Encompass 6 is communicating with host.
If system does not respond to troubleshooting, contact TransCore
