Connect power | Broadband 3G™ Radar Installation Guide
Connect power
The Broadband radar can operate on 12 or 24 V DC systems. The Broadband radar requires a
+V DC to be applied on the yellow power on wire in order to operate. This can be achieved in
one of three ways:
• Common the red and yellow wire together. Radar will power on when power is applied
• Use ignition or install a switch that will provide power to the yellow wire. (It is recommended
to use a 5 amp fuse or breaker). The radar will turn on when switch is activated
• Connect the yellow wire to external wake up of suitable display. The radar will turn on when
the display is turned on
Before connecting power to the system:
make sure the scanner has been installed and is secured.
make sure the radar interconnection cable is connected to the radar.
if using the Radar Interface Box make sure all connections have been made to
the display.
For systems using an RI10 radar interface box
Connect the red wire to power positive 12 or 24 V DC. Use a 5 amp fuse or breaker.
Connect the yellow wire to power source that will turn on the system (see above).
