DC Power
Connection
The base station is designed to accept a nominal 13.8V DC, with negative
ground.
The DC power connector (J105) at the rear of the base station is a heavy-
duty M4 screw terminal connector suitable for many forms of connection.
You must connect the DC supply from the battery to the base station via a
readily accessible disconnect device such as a fuse or DC-rated circuit
breaker with the appropriate rating, as shown in the table below. The DC
input leads should be of a suitable gauge to ensure less than 0.2V drop at
maximum load over the required length of lead.
Terminate the DC input leads with a suitable crimp connector for attaching
to the J105 M4 screws.
Ground Point The ground point is a terminal for grounding the tray to the mounting rack.
