22 ADL Sentry User Guide
Power supplies
Maintain batteries in a fully charged state. They last longer if they are do not become
completely discharged. We recommend routinely connecting the battery to its charger
after every working day and for 24 hours every three months during period of non-use.
This ensures optimal performance and long battery life.
Equipment care
Routine equipment care prolongs the life and reliability of your radio. Radio
communication equipment is susceptible to damage from shock or environmental
extremes. Never operate the radio outside the operating specifications contained in
“Safety Information” on page 3 .
Use with Machinery and Vehicles
Vibration damping
ADL Sentry radio meet or exceed the MIL-STD 810F standard for vibration (up to 2.6 g).
It is always recommended to mount the radio with rubber dampers. Avoid introducing
vibration and tension into the data/power connector at bottom of radio. Consider
supporting the data/power cable with a rubber-padded clamp.
Mounting inside/outside vehicle cabin
The radios are rated IP67 and can be mounted outside a cabin. However, the radios
automatically turn off if the temperature inside the radio exceeds 80 °C (140 °F), so it is
best to avoid direct sunlight in very hot environments. Installing all electronic devices
inside an air-conditioned cabin is always better.
DC power supply with power conditioner
The radios require 9 to 30 V DC at all times. Voltage spikes over 30 volts can damage the
radio and voltage transients can affect performance. The ideal power supply is 13.5 V DC
and 3 to 5 amps for ADL Sentry radio. Vehicle installations must always include a suitable
power conditioner.
