Chapter 1 Using the MC3 System
Connecting the Power Cables
Power to the Mobile Collection components is distributed through the junction box on the
side of the sled. There are three power cables that must be connected:
• Vehicle power to the junction box
• Junction box to the GoBook dock
• Junction box to the MC3
There is a fourth outlet on the junction box called AUX. It is for powering the EkaNet radio,
an optional device for mobile demand reset functionality.
The example below shows an MC3 radio and sled for a GoBook XR-1 with all the power
cables connected.
