Operating Manual

PRELIMINARY FCC ID: BIB61201001 INTALLATION 3-6
PRELIMINARY MCC-6120 SDR Packet Data Radio Network
3.2.2.1 DC Power Input
The MCC-6120 SDR requires a power source that can deliver up to 25 amps of pulsed power
(100 msec) out of a +12 V
DC
to +14V
DC
power source. The 25 amp power demand will cause a
voltage drop to occur at the transmitter input, resulting in reduced transmit power, unless the
power cable to the source is sized appropriately. MCC recommends using two #16 AWG wires
for both the power and ground and a cable length that does not exceed 10 feet. If a longer cable
is required use #14 AWG. MCC provides a standard 6 foot power cable with lugs for connecting
to a 3/8” battery post (Part No. 14001350-01).
The power connector pins are as follows:
The voltage at pins 1 and 4 should not drop by more than 2V
DC
during transmission.
