Connecting the Talkman A500/T5 VMT Mobile Computer to a Vehicle's Power Source
You will need the following equipment:
• Two fuse holders from Cooper Bussman. Vocollect recommends using a Cooper Bussmann HFA series
in line waterproof fuse.
• Two fuses. Vocollect recommends a 2A 250V SLO BLO fuse.
• Three spade connectors
• Four small cable ties
• Fasteners
Vocollect recommends choosing unswitched power as the source for the power supply. This will allow
Talkman devices to be powered for software updates as well as prevent Talkman devices from accidentally
being unpowered if the vehicle is quickly switched off unintentionally.
1. Remove all power sources from the vehicle.
2. Remove any excess length from the cable from the input cable from the power supply.
3. Connect the fuses to the cable near to the battery end of the cable. Remove approximately 4 inches
of the outer insulation from the cable.
