Power
Depending on your system the power supply can be customized.
Preferably, a connection to the alternator of the carrying vehicle can be made but, if this is not
an option, arrangements with portable power sources may be considered and solutions are
provided by Guideline Geo with suitable cables and boxes.
It is recommended to use a LiFe-battery for longer power supply. An ordinary car battery
requires exchanges during a working day as the battery will last approximately 4-5 hours. The
MIRA HDR system operates at 10-14V.
If the battery is connected in the wrong polarity, a buzzer tone will sound. If power
consumption is unexpectedly increasing, the internal fuse may blow. It is situated behind the
connector panel and is an easily replaceable, standard vehicle accessory fuse.
On the hand-pushed solution, the battery is placed on the rear side of the antenna. If using the
Guideline Geo trailer the battery has a ready-made shelf. With other carrier solutions the
battery can be placed in the vehicle.
