Pre-Operational Activities
Some pre-planning is necessary to ready the ICRI for use. The following should be accounted for
before placing the ICRI on-line:
1.0 Predetermine what the power source will be for the ICRI and verify that the cable or battery
pack is available.
2.0 Predetermine what brand and model of radios will be connected to the ICRI and that an
―interconnect‖ cable for each radio is available.
3.0 Advise agencies that they will need to supply a ―spare‖ radio, for the radio interoperability,
that the radio supplied must be known to operate properly and have at least one fully charged
battery.
The ICRI can be powered by the internal batteries or another DC source up to 31 VDC. The LEDs
on the ICRI provide information battery status, in particular, a reliable indication of a low voltage
condition.
Note that if eight “AA batteries are used, the ICRI will continue operate to nominally for
at least 2 hours after the “OK” LED is extinguished and the “LOW” LED has lit and then
extinguished (batteries will provide a reduced duty cycle due to low quality, poor storage conditions
before use, and/or low temperature during use).
Among the possible power sources that can be used to power the ICRI are:
NATO Slang vehicle power
115VAC (with an external adapter)
BA590 ―military‖
Commercial dry-cell battery (12V or greater)
C-AT internal 12 volt battery insert (uses 8 ―AA‖ batteries)
The ICRI’s internal regulated power supply is reverse polarity protected, but it is important to check
polarity of DC supplies before connecting them to the ICRI.
Note that the ICRI power input
connector information appears on the inside cover of the ICRI.
