Power Cord Termination
The LRAD-500X includes a 12 foot power cord for connection to a 12 to 24 Volt DC power
source. The maximum current draw for the LRAD-500X is approximately 30 Amps, depending
on the type of audio being broadcast. The LRAD-500X features a 40 Amp resettable breaker to
protect the system from shorts.
The included power cord is unterminated at the power supply end so that the end user can
install the appropriate termination for their application.
The red and orange wires must be connected to the positive terminal of the power source, and
the black and brown wires must be connected to the negative terminal of the power source.
The shield may be connected to reduce noise or radiated emissions.
Follow the terminal manufacturer’s installation instructions when installing crimp
terminals.
Improper power connection to the LRAD-500X can permanently damage the unit.
System Description
The LRAD-500X consists of a self contained acoustic transducer module with electrical
connections for input devices and power. Audio sources from a portable digital media (MP3)
player or a handheld microphone are amplified and intelligibly projected by the LRAD-500X for
effective communications at distances of 300 meters or more. Additionally, pre-recorded tones
designed to irritate and/or gain the attention of personnel can be played at extreme volume
levels for effective use over distance. The module is designed to significantly minimize the
acoustic sound pressure levels at the rear of the device, making for safe operation with minimal
hearing protection, such as foam earplugs. This module requires a 12 to 28VDC power source
for operation. The module includes hard mounting points for installation in a positioning yoke
or other mounting system.
