Chapter 2: To install the system
98-169085-B To connect cables 12
1. Connect the cable to the circular connector on the EXPLORER 323.
2. Connect the other end of the cable as described in the following sections.
To connect power
We recommend to use the included 6 m combined cable. If you want a longer cable, you can use the 15
meter cable available from Cobham SATCOM (only for 24 V operation!).
Connect the wires from the combined cable as follows:
1. Connect the thick red wire (DC+) to positive (+) in the vehicle.
2. Connect the thick black wire (DC-) to negative (-) in the vehicle.
To connect Ignition
You can use the Ignition system of the vehicle to switch the EXPLORER 323 on and off.
Do as follows:
1. Connect the power wires from the included cable to positive (+, thick red wire) and
negative (-, thick black wire) in the vehicle as described above.
2. Connect the blue wire from the cable (pin C in the connector) to the ignition signal of the
vehicle.
Refer to the vehicle manual for information on where and how to connect to the Ignition
signal in your vehicle.
3. If you have connected via the EXPLORER Mobile Gateway, the Remote on/off function
may be automatically enabled, and you can go straight to step 7.
If you are not using a EXPLORER Mobile Gateway, you can use the web interface to enable
the Remote on/off function as described in the next steps.
Note
The cable is open-ended to allow for various installation options. Depending on your
installation you may use e.g. the EXPLORER Connection Box to make the connections,
connect the wires directly to vehicle power and other equipment, or mount
connectors on the cable.
Note
If you are using the EXPLORER Mobile Gateway, all connections are made via the
EXPLORER Connection Box. See PTT connection example on page 15.
Important
When used without the EXPLORER Mobile Gateway, the Remote on/off
function is disabled by default in the EXPLORER 323. This means that when
you have connected the EXPLORER 323 to the battery power of the vehicle, the
EXPLORER 323 is always on, and can potentially drain the battery!
We recommend that you use the Ignition with the Remote on/off function as
described in the next section.
Note
Do not use the cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle to supply power for the
EXPLORER 323. Connect directly to the 12 or 24 V supply instead.
