TO CONNECT AN EXTERNAL 12 VDC POWER SUPPLY:
The standard Quick Assist II may be used with an external
12 VDC power supply. Optional items are not supplied.
Instructions:
1. Remove the Quick Assist II electronics from the
housing.
2. Carefully drill or punch a 0.484" hole in the bottom of
the Quick Assist II enclosure.
3. Route the power supply cable trough the Ritron
#02500127 strain relief fitting. (not supplied)
4. Use Ritron #RPS-203 Power Supply (not suplied),
11-15 VDC, 200mA, or equivalent, to power the Quick
Talk. The Quick Assist II requires 11-15 VDC, 150 mA
minimum.
5. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply
cable to the +EXT. PWR screw terminal on the Quick
Assist II, refer to FIG-6.
6. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply
cable to the -EXT. PWR screw terminal on the Quick
Assist II, refer to FIG-6.
NOTE: When programming, use either fresh Alkaline
batteries (or an external power supply), to power
the Quick Assist II. When programming is
finished, you may either insert Ni-Cd batteries
or leave Alkaline batteries in place.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge Alkaline
batteries from an external +12VDC
power supply.
When powering Quick Assist II with ALKALINE
BATTERIES, set J103 as follows to disconnect the
charging current paths:
a. To set the Quick Assist II for use with alkaline
batteries, move Jumper J103 to cover only one pin of
the jumper base, as shown in FIG-5; this setting
prevents the flow of charging current.
b. Dial "943" to program the Quick Assist II for use with
alkaline batteries.
When powering Quick Assist II with NI-CD BATTERIES,
set J103 as follows to connect the charging current
paths:
c. Cover both pins with Jumper J103, as shown in FIG-
5, to charge the Ni-Cd batteries from the External
Power connection.
d. Dial "944" to adjust the Quick Talk voltage; the unit
then transmits a "Low Battery" phrase.
NOTE: Because Ni-Cd batteries self-discharge rapidly,
you must constantly charge them with an
external +12VDC power.
