Power Connecons
The Tempest BaseStaon can be powered from AC or DC power. The front panel ON/OFF switch controls AC and DC power
coming into the BaseStaon. If AC and DC are both connected, the DC will act as a power supply backup in the event AC
power is interrupted.
AC Power Connecon
» The Tempest BaseStaon can be powered from AC power sources.
» Always connect the power cord to the Tempest BaseStaon before connecng to the outlet.
» Only use approved IEC AC power cords.
» Only use AC power from 85 to 260 VAC at 50 – 60 Hz.
DC Power Connecon (Baery)
» To power the Tempest BaseStaon from DC power you must provide an appropriate DC power input cable.
» The DC power input jack on the BaseStaon is a Switchcra 722RA.
» The mang plug is a Switchcra S760 - 2.1mm x 5.5mm power plug. The connector should be wired as center
posive.
» Always use appropriate wire of an acceptable gauge and length for your applicaon. The minimum
recommended wire is 26 gauge at not more than ve feet. If 10 feet is required the minimum gauge would be 24.
» Only use DC power from 11 to 32 VDC. The Tempest BaseStaon will draw approximately 12 Was (990mA at
12VDC).
Powering On the BaseStaon
Turn the front panel ON/OFF switch to the ON posion.
The BaseStaon undergoes an inializaon cycle. During this power up cycle the LEDs ash and the LCD screen updates.
Approximately 4 seconds aer turning on the power switch you will see a splash screen showing the installed rmware
version. The splash screen last approximately 6 seconds before advancing to the normal Operaon screen. If connected to
a Local Area Network, the DHCP sengs (IP address, MAC address, etc) will then display unl MENU is pressed to escape
or unl the normal meout is completed. The system will then display the main Operaon screen and will be ready for
normal use.
