FlexPak6 and FlexPak6D Alternative Power Source
If the 12 V car adapter is not convenient, it can be cut off from the power cable. The exposed wires can then
be tied to a 6-36 VDC power supply capable of at least 5 W.
For an alternative power source:
a. Cut the 12 V car adapter from the power cable.
b. Install a user supplied 6 A slow blow fuse at the power source to protect the power supply wiring and
your warranty.
c. Tie the exposed wires to a 6-36 VDC supply capable of at least 5 W. Be sure to connect the red and
orange or green wires to the positive side of the power supply and connect the black and brown or
white wires to the negative side of the power supply.
The FlexPak6 is RS-232/RS-422 selectable through pin 9 of the I/O port, see
FlexPak6 I/O Port Pin-Out Descriptions
on page 192 for details.
The FlexPak6D is RS-232/RS-422 selectable through pin 9 of the I/O port, see
FlexPak6D I/O Port Pin-Out Descriptions
on page 196 for details.
The FlexPak6 and FlexPak6D enclosures are Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) so that TXD
and RTS are outputs while RXD and CTS are inputs. A null modem cable, supplied with the
receiver, is required to connect to another DTE like a terminal or a computer, while a straight
through cable is used to connect to another receiver.
The following can be used for either the FlexPak6 or FlexPak6D products.
The supplied 12 V power adapter cannot be used for 24 V or above systems.
Since the 12 V car adapter on the supplied adapter cable incorporates a 6 A fuse, a user
supplied 6 A slow blow fuse in a suitable holder must be used at the alternate power source to
protect both the power supply and your warranty. The car adapter is not recommended for use if
your power source is greater than 12 V.
