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 20 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:
• 12 or 24 volt vehicle battery
• Vehicle cigarette lighter
• 115VAC (with an external adapter)
• BA590 “military”
•
Commercial dry-cell battery (12V or greater)
•
C-AT 12 volt battery pack (uses 8 “AA” batteries)
The ICRI’s internal regulated power supply is both 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 bottom of the ICRI .
